What we left out

  • Weight and build. Asked on 15% of forms. Casting does not need it, and on a child’s form it does harm.
  • Street address. Asked on 78%, a habit from forms that were posted back. Nothing in an audition is posted.
  • Gender as a tick box. Asked on 37%. We ask optional pronouns and leave casting choices to the director.

How the form changes as people answer

Most people see a shorter form. These questions and screens only appear when an answer calls for them.

  1. When “Are you under 18?” is Yes

    shows “Age”, “School and year”, “Parent or guardian”, “Parent or guardian’s name”, “Parent or guardian’s email”, “Parent or guardian’s mobile”, “Parent or guardian signature”

  2. When the link’s type value is not play

    shows “Voice part”, “Dance experience”

  3. When “Are you under 18?” is Yes

    shows the “Thanks. A parent or guardian must come to the audition” ending

  4. At the end

    shows one of 2 thank-you screens: “See you at auditions, …”, “Thanks. A parent or guardian must come to the audition”

Make it yours

  1. One link per show

    Add ?production=Into the Woods to the link. The heading names the show and the title is saved with every response.

  2. Drop the music questions for a play

    Link with ?type=play and voice part and dance experience stay hidden.

  3. Close when the slots are full

    Set Settings → Limit responses to your audition slots, or a close time under Settings → Schedule.

Questions about this template

Will listing conflicts stop someone being cast?

Not necessarily. Say your own rule in the question’s description, such as “conflicts not listed here will not be excused”.

What happens when a child auditions?

A yes to “under 18” opens the parent section and a parent signature, and the thank-you screen says a parent must come to the audition.

Can I use it for a choir or a dance company?

Yes. The choir preset splits voice parts in eight and asks about reading music and why they want to join; the dance preset asks years in each style and a video link.

Can people send a self-tape?

Uploads are up to 10 MB each on the free plan, so ask for a link to an unlisted video instead. The dance preset already does.

Which form do you need?

The audition form is one of the registration & event forms. If it is not quite the job, one of these may be.
