Tips

  • Practice your skills on your own. Take up singing lessons on the side or find a dance class. Bettering yourself will only make you a better performer.
  • Don't be afraid to ask questions. People are truly kind and more than willing to help.
  • Understand that local theater often involves you doing some work to raise money and sometimes even paying a tuition to be in the production.
