Audition sign-up sheet
Auditions run on nerves and timing. Performers want to know exactly when they are on, and the panel wants a steady line without a crowd outside the door. Bookable slots give both, and they save you from writing names on a paper sheet taped to the rehearsal room door.

Slot length
For a school play, choir or community theater, five minutes covers a short song or monologue. Ten minutes gives room for a second piece or a quick conversation. Bands and orchestras often need longer for scales and sight-reading, so use 10 to 15.
Leave a five-minute gap every half hour. The panel needs time to write notes, and you will run behind by the fourth performer otherwise.
Group calls
Dance calls and ensemble readings work as one slot with a larger limit. "Group dance call x12" holds twelve people at once. Everyone signs up for the same slot and you teach the combination together.
What to ask
Keep the questions short, but ask the ones you will need:
- Part or voice type they are auditioning for
- What they will perform
- Rehearsal conflicts over the production period
- Age or year group, if it matters for casting
Conflicts are the question directors most often forget, and the one that causes the most trouble in week three of rehearsals. Ask up front.
Privacy
Performers, and especially teenagers, may not want everyone to see who is auditioning for which part. Show booked slots as "taken" rather than with names. You still see the full list on your dashboard and can export it for the panel.
Reminders and changes
Send a reminder the day before with where to wait and what to bring, such as sheet music, water and comfortable shoes for the dance call. If someone cannot make their slot, they can move to another one from their own link. The waitlist means that when a popular evening fills, the next person can still get in if someone drops out.
Callbacks
Make a second, private sheet for callbacks with fewer and longer slots. Send the link only to the performers you want to see again. It keeps the main schedule clean and spares everyone else from checking a list.
A ready list
The starter text above sets up two afternoons of 10-minute slots plus a group dance call. Paste it into Dibs, change the times, and post the link or a QR code on the noticeboard. Performers book from their phones with no account and no ads, and get a calendar file for their slot.
Audition sign-up sheet: questions
How long should audition slots be?
Five minutes for a song or monologue at a school or community audition, 10 if you want to hear a second piece or chat. Build a gap every half hour so the panel can catch up on notes.
How do I run group auditions?
Make one slot with a larger limit, such as 'Group dance call x12'. Everyone in that group signs up for the same slot.
What should performers tell us when they sign up?
The part or voice type they are auditioning for, their song or monologue, and any rehearsal conflicts. Conflicts are the question you will be glad you asked.
Can I use the same tool for callbacks?
Yes. Make a second sheet for callbacks with fewer, longer slots, and send the link only to the people you are calling back.
