Six Looks That Say “Cast Me As Dog #2” for Your Next TYA Audition

Auditioning for a kids’ show gives you a little license to veer away from the everyday audition uniform. You already know that it’s a good idea to “dress the part” for any audition, but what to do when the part is an animal? From Winn Dixie to Milky White, Hackstage has got you covered. Check out these style suggestions and start practicing your bark!

1. Anything Animal Print

Subtly suggest that you're prepared to bring out your animalistic side with this fun take on your usual audition dress. Big bonus to this look? Your nude pumps still match!

2. A Fuzzy Sweater

Don’t be afraid to play with textures! People love to pet dogs, so generously offer to let the creative team caress your sweater.

3. “Miley” buns

Cleverly evoke playful puppy ears with this great hairstyle! It’s also an excellent choice if you didn’t have time to shower and your hair is kind of greasy.

4. A sack

Called in for the Mom Dog? Opt for this more mature sack look and a dowdy hairstyle so that the casting director will be more likely to see as a 35-45 year old type than a 6-10 year old.

5. Animal Slippers

These “statement” shoes are certainly a quirky departure from your typical nude audition pumps. Claws add a ring of authenticity, while the confusingly placed bunny ears keep them from looking like an obvious choice.

6. Just a full dog suit
