APPEARANCE
describe what a person would see when they first meet you, any outstanding features your character may have, including the way they dress on a regular basis & during rehearsals. also include things like their usual facial expressions, their posture, and comportment.
BY DESTRUCTION DWELL IN DOUBTFUL JOY
BACKGROUND
include how long they've been at scda, including any years spent taking extracurricular classes if applicable. another important thing to mention is their current lifestyle: note that scda is not a university or boarding school, so they must have some way of living outside of the school along with potential jobs that they may have if their parents aren't paying for the school. again, only mention events that would have had an impact on your character or their future. as a general rule, the events you mention should add to the depth of your character and not just act as filler facts that could apply to basically everyone.
RELATIONSHIPS
format this relationships section however you'd like! and include a brief summary of their personality & the relationship you two have.
make sure to have at least 2 relations here, and again they should be substantial relationships. include your love interest here as well.

MISCELLANEOUS
trivia section. habits, fears, anything and everything about your character that's interesting to know or may be relevant to the story that doesn't belong anywhere else goes here. make this section good bc in terms of plot and writing i'm often inspired by trivia sections!!
SCREW YOUR COURAGE TO THE STICKING PLACE
"PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND THE ROLE YOU WOULD LIKE TO AUDITION FOR."
interview section! i strongly recommend including actions and inner thoughts as well in addition to your responses. for the roles, refer back to the casting call chapter.
"GREAT, WHAT HAVE YOU PREPARED FOR US?"
what monologue and skill did your character bring for the audition? emphasis on thinking through the mindset of your character and how they think they can best get a callback with this audition.
"ACTUALLY, I WANT YOU TO DO A COLD READ OF THIS MONOLOGUE INSTEAD. IS THAT OKAY?"
((ps a cold read is when the casting staff gives you a script that you've never seen before that u usually get two minutes to read over, you don't need to memorize it ofc))
"ALRIGHT, LOVELY. JUST A FEW MORE THINGS: WOULD YOU BE HAPPY WITH A DIFFERENT ROLE THAN THE ONE YOU HAD IN MIND?"
....
"I SEE. AND WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT FROM THE OTHER STUDENTS, DO YOU THINK?"
....
"INTERESTING. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US?"
