New to HB Studio?
Acting auditions are submitted via self tape at the link below. Submissions are reviewed by a faculty member to assess your skills and make the best placement within HB Studio’s progression of classes. You will then be invited to choose from a menu of classes at the level you’ve been assigned.
Auditions are only required for classes above Level 1. Level 1 classes are available for registration without an audition. For more information on HB Studio’s Classes and Level progression, visit Choosing a Course of Study.

- A headshot and current resume
- Either of these video options:
- Option 1: A self-taped audition which includes:
- Two contrasting contemporary monologues, 3 minutes each
- A brief a cappella song or portion of a song. This is not a test of your singing ability, but of your range as a performer.
- Option 2: A professional reel of your work as an actor.
