AUDITIONS
We already have a well-established audition process with a strong reputation throughout the UK. Mainly focusing on London and Manchester but also expanding to locations like Newcastle, Edinburgh, and even considering international auditions in America to widen our talent pool and provide more opportunities for performers.
Frequency of Auditions: Holding auditions at least twice a year allows for regular opportunities for performers to showcase their talent. This consistency can help maintain interest and engagement from aspiring artists.
Locations: London and Manchester are major cities, making them ideal locations. Expanding to Newcastle and Edinburgh provides access to talent from different regions of the UK, potentially uncovering unique performers who might not have the opportunity to travel to London or Manchester for auditions.
International Auditions: Holding auditions abroad, particularly in America, can indeed broaden our reach and attract talent from diverse backgrounds.
Reputation: We have a 20-year history of hosting auditions giving us trust within the performing arts community. This reputation can be leveraged to attract top talent and maintain interest in your auditions.
Logistics and Planning: We always use suitable venues, arrange travel and accommodation for audition staff, and ensure venues are safe and easy to get to for participants.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media platforms have a widespread reach and ability to target specific audiences. We would use our current Facebook, Instagram & TikTok pages to advertise but we would also expand further throughout social media.
