Irving Berlin (middle) takes an audition (1948).
An audition (pilot performance) is an entrance exam or application within the performing arts world.
Students who wish to study at a ballet school, drama or conservatory must first audition to be admitted to the program. Rolling in musical theater productions is also forgiven on the basis of an audition or a number of audition rounds. Audiences are generally decided, although a trend has arisen to audition the camera's eye.
Usually there is an audition:
The audition may have a selective character: passed or not, you have enough talent or not, or a comparative character: you are among the top 15 candidates, so you are allowed, as we only allow 15. This system is usually used in talent yachts. For theater productions, audition not only has to show the auditor's qualities but also to see to what extent he / she fits into the intended production, or at the intended colleagues. An audition for a film role or television screen is called a screen test.
