Singers, Dancers & Singer/Dancers / Kings Dominion!
Singers: Please prepare 2 vocal selections showing versatile styles -your best 16-32 bars of each. However, time may allow us to only hear a portion of your material, so start with the piece that shows you off the best.
We are looking for singers with strong stage presence that can stylize appropriately. Females: please demonstrate a warm belt. Males: please show us your vocal range.
Please remember that most of the shows at Cedar Point feature pop, country, and classic rock & roll. Choose your selections accordingly. You may bring your own accompanist or use ours, who will not transpose. All sheet music must be in your correct key. A standard CD player will also be provided.
You MAY NOT sing a cappella. Singers MAY be asked to stay for a brief dance call, so dress to sing & bring movement-appropriate clothing. If we ask you to stay and dance, you will be given time to change. Dancers: Be prepared to learn a high-energy dance combination. Please provide a head shot & one page, typed resume with references detailing any performance experience, training, and up to date contact information.
