Hello,
I'm going to be doing some grad school auditions and thought I'd check in on what you all think of how one should dress. Yes, I have done a fair amount of auditioning, but I also come from Vancouver, Canada, and while I'm not saying we're backwards or anything (ha!), I know full well each part of the world has different customs!! I did a summer program in Eastern Canada a couple of years ago and found that most people dressed casually (shorts, jeans, etc) to the rehearsals/classes, and then I did another program last summer in California and the participants dressed semi-formal (skirts, blouses). Of course, these same better-dressed ones were also older on the whole, so who knows.
Anyhow, I'd appreciate your imput. Some people also say one should wear a suit to an audition - especially opera auditions. Some say, a shorter skirt, some say floor length. Mind you, these are school auditions, not for an opera director!
