​​

If you can’t attend in person, video auditions will be accepted now through November 1 at 5:00 PM.
Email submissions to amanda@artsdavidsoncounty.org with the subject line “Holiday Channel Audition – [Your Name].”

Your Video Should Include:

1. Slate:  Introduce yourself with your name, age (if under 18), and where you’re from.

2. Reading:  Choose and perform one short comedic monologue (30–60 seconds) OR a holiday movie-style scene that shows your personality and timing.
   If you don’t have a monologue, you can perform a favorite movie or TV line in your best “Hallmark movie” style.

3. Improv Prompt (for fun):  Pick one of the following and improvise for about 30 seconds:

   • You’ve just run into your ex at the town Christmas tree lot.

   • You’re a baker whose gingerbread cookies are magically coming to life.

   • You just found out the person you’ve been flirting with all season is secretly a prince.

4. Optional:  If you’d like, tell us what kind of character you’re most interested in playing (funny, dramatic, over-the-top romantic, etc.).

Tips:

• Phone recordings are perfectly fine! Just make sure you’re in good light and we can hear you clearly.

• Keep it simple and have fun with it — we’re looking for energy, humor, and personality.
