"Practically Perfect Pitch" Audition for the Theater
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. The production of "Practically Perfect Pitch" is currently in need of performers. More details are below. About the play: Parodying Pitch Perfect, this acapella musical centres around a cast of quirky, raunchy characters experiencing young adult freedoms for the first time. The plot centres around a group of girls called the “SoCal Swiftheads” who have to overcome their biggest competitors, the “Third Basses”. Throughout a series of trials and errors and huge missteps, they discover who they are as young women along the way and how they fit into the world. Additional information: PERFORMANCE DATES: August 15-25, 2024. REHEARSALS: June-August, specific dates and times TBD. Please come in with a one-minute unaccompanied musical performance (does not have to be musical theater). It can be anything you want that you feel showcases you best (solo, dance with singing, etc.); however, if you have a specific character in mind, try to come up with something that you feel embodies them. You will also be asked to cold read. A line reader will be present for you to play off of. Your slot will be ten minutes long, starting with your prepared piece, followed by a cold read, and finishing with an interview. When applying, please submit your resume and head shot. If you can’t make it, we can still accommodate you via a self-tape option.
13 roles
Snarky, introverted and rebellious. She’s a cynical loner with a secret softer side that has to be coaxed out of her. Must be comfortable playing opposite a female romantically.
Uber-confident and comical. Comfortable in her skin and is naturally the center of attention at all times. (Whoever is cast as this role will be asked to bring a lot of creative energy to the table, as there is a section of the script where they will be asked to come up with their own solo performance. Up for discussion as to what that means.)
Kind-hearted, but can’t really pick up on social boundaries. Wants what’s best for everyone. Extremely flirty. A bit air headed. Must be comfortable playing opposite a female romantically.
Neurotic perfectionist. She is the mayor of Los Angeles’ daughter and a clinical control freak. All she wants is to be respected and revered beyond reason. (MUST be comfortable with fake vomit).
Stella-‘sexually liberated’ woman. We come to discover she is overcompensating for something. Ruth- Absolutely devastating if you are on her bad side. She can tear anyone down.
Extremely quiet. Seems super shy. But secretly demented. And good at beat boxing.
The off-beat, offensive, female host of the acapella competitions. Has a talent of making everything she says sound professional, even though sometimes the things she says are out of left field. Very put together. Luna – Sarcastic and alternative leader of the auditions/ riff-off.
Thinks he’s hot stuff, and everyone who tells him he isn’t, he ignores. Very in-your-face out-there type of guy. A narcissist.
Tap dancer, to everyone’s dismay. Desperate for approval, but is too dorky to get it from anyone other than his best friend, Jamie. Tenor. Guitar playing would be an asset.
A sympathetic guy. Nice enough. Very into Bella. An awkward-er version of the Jim Halpert archetype. Self-apologetic. Tenor. Good singer. Guitar playing would be an asset.
Buster’s yes-man. Has some swagger, for sure. Definitely cooler than Buster, even though he lets him take the limelight.
Grady Chandler- The more offensive, male host. Loudly misogynistic(in a funny way). Rudy – A leader of the acapella antics. Can say kind of dumb things a lot of the time. Bella’s dad- A nice dad who is trying his best to deal with his anti-social daughter.
Self-explanatory. Freedom to play around with both characters.
