Thinking of auditioning for Talent for Tomorrow? We’ve got you.

Reading time: 2 minutes

Assignments are done, exams are (finally) over, and your brain deserves a break from staring at lecture slides and discussion boards.

So why not celebrate the end of semester by putting yourself out there and trying something new?

Talent For Tomorrow auditions are officially open, and whether you sing, dance, perform spoken word, play music, do comedy or have a talent that’s completely unexpected, now’s the perfect time to give it a go.

And if you’re not sure where to start, don’t stress. We’ve got a few tips to help you put your best audition forward.

Tip #1

Start with what you’ve got

Don’t wait until your act is “perfect” or professionally produced. We’re not expecting you to hire a film crew. A simple video taken on your phone is absolutely fine! Just make sure we can clearly see and hear what you’re doing. Talent doesn’t need a filter.

Tip #2

Got something a little different? Even better.

Yes, singers and dancers are great. In fact, all previous winners of Talent for Tomorrow were vocalists! But if you’ve got a less conventional act, we’d really love to see it. Think outside the box. Stand-up comedy, live painting, looping violin, shadow puppetry… we’re open to it all. In fact, the more unique, the more you’ll make an impact on the judges and audience on grand final day.

Tip #3

Keep it short and engaging

We don’t need a ten-minute routine to see your potential. Shorter is often better. Aim for one or two minutes that capture your energy, skill and style. If you have a few different clips, feel free to send those too, they help us see your range.

Tip #4

A clear audio and video makes a difference

No need for fancy lighting or a soundproofed studio, but do make sure your video is well-lit and your sound is easy to hear. Try to avoid shaky filming, noisy backgrounds or echoey rooms. You don’t have to be high-def, just clear enough that your talent shines through.

Tip #5

Add your socials (if you have them)

If you’ve posted any videos of your performances online, whether it’s TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or something else, include the links in your submission! It helps us get a better idea of your style and what kind of performer you are. It also shows that you’re comfortable putting yourself out there, which is a great plus.

The rundown:

• Start with what you’ve got
• Different talents are encouraged
• Keep your audition short and engaging
• Make sure we can see and hear you clearly
• Add your socials so we can get to know you

Semester’s finally over, which means now’s the perfect time to try something new.

Whether you’re a hidden talent, a casual performer, or someone who just wants a good story, this is your chance to have some fun and step outside your comfort zone.
