Audition Expectations
Expectations for Hupp Entertainment & ARTS Showcase representations are binding.
1. Always Act - Selecting a TV commercial script enhances your performance regardless of your audition focus. More exposure to directors increases your chances of callbacks. Demonstrating versatility is key, and memorization isn't necessary.
2. Singers - Present a one-minute song section in your comfortable vocal range, ensuring clean lyrics and the option to bring a guitar or ukulele. If not, use an electronic device for music. Dancers will also present a one-minute routine, bringing their own music on an electronic device. Professional training is preferred for dancers.
4. Models - You will pose for pictures as I evaluate you for various modeling areas: catalog, print, commercial, plus-size, children, teens, adult runway, high fashion, and specialty modeling.
5. Important for all auditions - No offensive language or adult content. This is a family-friendly space for ages 6 and up.
6. Please Arrive On Time - Arriving 10-15 minutes before the audition is preferred. Your arrival time will be one determining factor in your audition.
7. No cell phone use - no pictures, videos, or calls. Phones can only be used for singing or dancing auditions. All participants will be recorded for auditioning purposes only.
8. No heavy make-up - I want your audition to be genuine. You should look your age, as this will help me assess where you might fit if you succeed in the audition.
Acting Audition Scripts
You will be asked to read one of the following scripts in your audition. These do not need to be memorized, but you should maintain eye contact throughout. Note: You are not auditioning for any of the companies listed below; these are sample scripts and suggestions.
EXTREME JELL-O GEL STICKS
It’s jiggly Jell-O fun in a tube. The extreme fruity flavor just might make your head spin. Extreme Jell-O Gel Sticks. They’re extreme. Yeah!
DANIMALS YOGURT
Danimals is the fruity-tasting snack all kids agree on. A good source of calcium, protein, Vitamin D—and it tastes great! Danimals. Better every day!
MOM’S COOKIES
These cookies remind me of my mom. They’re crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside—just like mom's! Maybe that’s why the package says “Mom’s Cookies?”
POST RAISIN BRAN
My mom likes Post Raisin Bran because it’s good for me. My dad likes it because it tastes great. I like it for the plump, juicy raisins!
LIFE SAVERS
What can you say about Life Savers? They come in five delicious flavors like lime, orange, and my favorite—cherry. They’re full of life. But the best thing to say is…YUM.
PEPSI
What makes you cool? It’s not your hair, your clothes, or what you drink. Or is it? Pepsi. The choice of a new generation.
BEN & JERRY'S ICE CREAM
Ben & Jerry’s Organic Ice Cream is packed with the stuff you love, plus some extra. Certified organic ingredients and environmentally sustainable practices, all with euphoric taste.
TRAVEL ARUBA
There’s an island where the trees bend to your wishes. People smile when they say hello. You won’t feel a drop of rain, but you’ll love the water. It’s all up to you on Aruba. Call your travel agent, or 1-800-TO-ARUBA. Aruba, the island for you.
