Tip of the Month
October is peak audition season. With NCLH and Carnival both running multi-city auditions plus full-time programs finalising intakes, performers should prepare multiple audition packages (dance, song, acting) and be ready to travel interstate. Don’t forget digital audition options if you can’t attend in person.
