<p>My child has an audition scheduled for an acting only program on one morning. Another school to which she applied just opened up their audition schedule and will only see musical theatre people on that morning. Should we ask to reschedule the acting audition? Or will that send a bad message? Child's dream is musical theatre - but loves straight drama almost as much.</p>
<p>My daughter handles all the audition scheduling for her school’s auditions, including Unifieds. She gets requests for changes due to scheduling conflicts and is happy to move people around. It was that way when she went to Unifieds. We found schools to be very understanding of the conflicts and willing to make changes when possible so I would definitely ask. Break legs to your D!!</p>
<p>^^^ There is no such thing as a bad message. Most if not all schools will try to accomdate you.</p>
<p>OK - so scheduled two auditions same afternoon in Chicago. One school offered 10 minute time slots so I assumed the whole thing will be no more than 10 min. I scheduled 1:35 The other school - which I had scheduled first at 2pm - turned out to give only three hour windows, so 2-5. Can anyone tell me if I need to leave ore time between auditions? (One is 1:35 and the 2nd at 2:00.) We’re trying to get out early enough so my D can get to rehearsal as well as not miss too much of classes…there is nothing on the unified site to say how long they are - is each school differnet?</p>
<p>Each school is different. You should contact the school you scheduled for 1:35 and check.</p>
<p>Check carefully with each school, especially if they hold call-backs. Most want people to allow 2-3 hours, even if they don’t need that much. Some others (e.g. DePaul and UArts, among those we’re looking at) want people available for most of the day.</p>
<p>From my experience at Unifieds (for straight acting) I had one audition for Ithaca that was a 3-hour block that would conflict with my UArts audition (which was a 10-min affair but towards the end of my Ithaca block)
It turned out with Ithaca they gave people roughly 10 min auditions after a meeting/warm-up. I was able to request to be one of the first ones when I got there and I had plenty of time before my UArts audition. Call or email and ask what the audition set-up is, I know for musical theatre it can be more complicated.</p>
<p>Times slots are estimates. They can be sooner or later. ^^^^^ All good advise. I would mentally be prepared to pick one ahead of time if you are forced into that situation.</p>
