How to Prepare for your AMTC Audition

What should I wear to the audition?

Dress in neat, casual, age-approriate clothes- nothing dressy, nothing sexy! Keep your appearance fresh and clean. If you wear makeup, keep it minimal or none at all! We like to see your hair natural. If it’s curly, wear it curly. If it’s straight, wear it straight. This will give us the best idea of what you really look like!

Should singers or dancers bring costumes?

Singers and dancers do not need to wear costumes. Our AMTC Scout is interested in your ability, appearance, and personality- rather than a costume.

Do I need to bring a picture or a headshot?

Yes! Please bring a snapshot that we can keep to remember you. *You don’t need to bring any professional photo(s).

What else do I need to bring?

Bring a parent! Anyone under 18 years old must have a parent present. We encourage adults to bring a parent, spouse, or close friend. AMTC believes family should be involved every step of the way!

Can singers bring accompaniment?

Singers must sing a cappella. However, singer-songwriters may bring a guitar or keyboard.

What about babies and toddlers?

The minimum age to audition is 4. As far as bringing family to watch you, an AMTC audition is fun, but serious. If your child can’t sit quietly through the information session and audition, please leave him or her with a baby-sitter.

What are you looking for at an AMTC audition?

AMTC is looking for actors, models, singers, dancers and comedians who love God and feel a calling to perform: ages 4 – 84!

What is the audition process like?

The AMTC audition is more than an audition. It begins with an information session: It’s an insider’s look at the entertainment industry and what it takes to succeed. Most importantly, you’ll find out about God’s movement to launch models, actors, singers, and dancers as role models and stars. After the information session, individual auditions will begin. The audition process usually takes about 2-3 hours.

Is my child ready to audition?

Does your child love to perform? Kids who are marked for the entertainment industry often start performing around their house at an early age; they may “mimic” TV commercials or put on skits for family and friends; they speak easily to strangers; they are verbal and smart. Some are beautiful. Some are characters! The most important attribute for children is personality! Your child must be at least 4 years old. (Occasionally, AMTC will accept a very mature 3 year old.)

Can I audition in more than one category?

Yes. You are encouraged to audition in whatever you feel called to do: acting, modeling, singing, or dance (or all four).

If I am primarily interested in singing, modeling, or dance, do I have to read a script?

Yes. No matter how gifted you are in modeling, singing, or dance, you will not be successful if you do not act and speak well. Give us your best effort. We don’t expect you to be a pro. If you have good potential in modeling, singing, or dance, AMTC has coaches who will teach you how to act if you are willing. You can download an AMTC script, prepare a short monologue (30 seconds), or get a script on site.

What VIP’s attend the AMTC Conference?

The AMTC Conference in Orlando is attended by 50-100 of the top Agents, Managers, Casting Directors, and Music Industry Professionals in the world. It’s a “Who’s Who” list of industry insiders who can make careers happen. Success is all about “What You Know” and “Who You Know.” If you are accepted in the AMTC program, we’ll teach you what you need to know and put you in front of who you need to see. For more on our “VIP’S,” take a look at the VIP Section of our main website.

Who gets a callback?

Though we love all who come to an audition & respect their dreams – Not everyone will get a callback to AMTC. The reality of the Industry is not every match is a perfect one. We must be selective to keep our event quality high and our VIPs coming back. AMTC must maintain the same high standards we set 28 years ago when we began our mission to launch stars.

Callbacks from an AMTC Audition are based on four factors: 1. Goals 2. Intelligence and/or Life Achievements 3. Personality 4. Talent. We call back people who want to be a light in the entertainment industry, those we think are ready, and those we think we can help.

If you do not receive a callback, don’t give up! You are welcome to audition again for AMTC. Our office will keep your audition notes for two weeks. You are welcome to call for advice within this time frame.

How much does an audition cost?

AMTC does not charge a fee for the information session and audition. If you are invited to join the AMTC program, we do have a tuition fee for training and to attend the National Conference. The AMTC package is detailed in the FAQ Section of the main amtcworld.com website.
