Orange County's Top Talent

Comments and helpful tips from the 2012 audition judges

  • Relax! You're doing fine. We're on your side.
  • Smile!  If we see you are having a good time then we will too.
  • Make eye-contact. Open your eyes.
  • Attire - Please dress appropriately for your performance. Costumes are always a way to receive high marks ... try to choose an outfit or costume that is flattering to your performance.  If your budget doesn't allow, wear something that compliments you and avoid short dresses, t-shirts, ill-fitting sweatsuits, torn jeans, etc. Your appearance is very important.
  • Let your personality shine.
  • Stay emotionally connected to your routine. Do you like your song or dance? Show us. Do you understand your lyrics/meaning of song or music? Show us.
  • Singers - Don't pace.
  • Please be careful to choose age-appropriate material.
  • Have FUN!  If you're having a good time, we're having a good time.
  • If you are a singer, please come prepared with audio tracks. It is more difficult to score high singing A Cappella.
  • Audio Tracks - have your track edited down to two (2) minutes for the audition and four (4) minutes for the final performance. If you don't have this capability, sing the song from the beginning and advise the sound technician to fade out after the time limit.
And most of all ... GOOD LUCK!
