Matt Hill

Hi. It’s Matt Hill. I’ve auditioned a lot. When I audition, I often get called back. Is it because I’m the most talented, best looking, perfect fit for the role? Absolutely never. Do I book the gig from every callback? Not as much as I’d like. Do I feel confident that I leave a positive and lasting impression on everyone I audition for? Almost every time! I want you to be excited about your next audition! There are many ways to think about the audition experience and while almost all are correct, practical feedback on your work is essential and rare. After being in the room hundreds and hundreds of times, I’ve boiled down my ideal audition to some key factors. It’s an art form in itself and I’d love to share some of my perspective with you! The experience of a show starts when you walk into your audition. Why not take the absolute best first step? If you’d like to work with joy, confidence, and specificity in your storytelling – let’s get to work!

Scholarships are available for all programs at CMT
