Auditions and Portfolio Reviews
Auditions and portfolio reviews are designed to evaluate your skill level, prior training and knowledge in the field and, most importantly, potential for future success. You will be evaluated by a trained and experienced member of the Cornish faculty who will not only want to see or hear your presentation, but also have a conversation with you about your past experiences and goals for the future.
Your audition or portfolio review will carry approximately 80% weight in the admission decision. You should come to your audition or review prepared, ready to talk about your craft, and also to have some fun. Talk to your current teachers for advice and visit our tips for preparing page.
Each major has specific requirements for their auditions or portfolio reviews. Please visit the following links to see requirements for a specific department:
