What happens after someone submits

From the first sign-up to the callback list, the director works from the responses.

  1. Submitted

  2. Someone sends the form

    The thank-you screen’s Book a time button opens your Calendly or Cal.com audition slots, with their name and email filled in.

  3. Every audition form

    The auditioner lands in People, tagged with the show, so your next audition notice reaches them.

  4. You want a callback

    Reply from their response with the callback time, and their answer comes back to the same thread.

What this form asks, and why

An audition form needs contact details, the roles someone wants and whether they would take another, their experience and training, and every rehearsal conflict, with a parent section and signature for anyone under 18. 56% of audition forms ask for conflicts and 74% ask for a parent or guardian.

The last column shows how often real audition forms ask for it.

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.
  • Gender as a checkbox. 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” and “Parent or guardian signature”

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

    shows “Voice part” and “Dance experience”

  3. When “Are you under 18?” is Yes

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

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. Turn conflicts into a rehearsal grid

    Swap the conflicts box for a grid: one row per rehearsal date, columns for Free, Late and Can’t come. The Excel export gives each date a column, so the cast list reads as a rehearsal calendar.

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. Choir splits voice parts in eight and asks about reading music; dance 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?

Not quite the job? One of these may fit, or browse all registration and event forms.
