Part 1 begins by addressing audition preparation, particularly for undergraduate programs. Part 2 features interviews and gives readers insight into "the other side of the table." Part 3 addresses expectations and requirements for graduate programs, while Part 4 presents interviews with graduate program auditors who discuss the specific types of students they seek. Part 5, written primarily for parents and supporters, offers practical guidance about how to have productive conversations regarding educational choices and future career options. With its comprehensive overview of the audition process and insight into the perspective of auditors, Auditioning for Actor Training Programs is an outstanding resource for students at the high school level planning to study dramatic arts in college, and for students and professionals preparing for graduate program auditions.
