So you’ve always wanted a stage to call your own, perform in front of a live audience or entertain people and make their day? Good news. Universal Studios Singapore is searching for talented entertainers who can add to the uniquely exciting experience, such as singers, dancers, breakdancers, stiltwalkers, celebrity look-alikes, character actors, and voice impersonators.
But to make your dream come true, you need to first ace the audition. Here are some tips to help you get your foot in.
1. Hello sunshine
Universal Studios Singapore is a family fun theme park, so performers are expected to be fun loving and cheerful. Try to maintain a sunny persona throughout the whole experience and please watch your language in the waiting room.
2. Do your homework
When it comes to auditions, preparation and confidence are everything. If you are a singer, choose a song that not only suits your voice but also showcases your personality. If you are an actor, research all aspects of your character including their accent and mannerisms. And come dressed in the theme of your chosen character as it will help greatly with your portrayal. After all, Frankenstein shouldn’t walk and talk like Kungfu Panda, right?
3. Dress right
Attending the dance audition? Wear fitted clothing that you can move in and makes you look your best. Ladies, please apply some makeup and ensure your hair is done. When in doubt, check the Universal Studios Singapore website to research on how our performers look when in character. And please, no birthday suits.
4. Measure up
Read the role requirements carefully to ensure that you physically fit the character you have chosen in terms of height and build. For example if you are tall, don’t waste your timing auditioning to be the next Minion.
5. Pack some snacks
A hungry man is an angry man. And angry people don’t fare well in auditions. It may take a while before it is your turn so it pays to be well prepared with snacks and drinks. In fact, if you make it all the way through, you may need to stick around longer for an information briefing session on working at Universal Studios Singapore.
