By Robert Palmer

Are you an experienced singer, dancer, musician, or other entertainer looking to get hired as a cruise ship performer? If so, you may be wondering what the process is like to become a part of a cruise ship show. Well, the good news is that it’s not as hard as you might think.

The first step in getting hired as a cruise ship performer is finding out who the casting directors are and how to get in touch with them. Many cruise lines have their own casting websites where they post open auditions and list contact information for their casting directors. You can also find out who the casting directors are by doing some online research or talking to other performers who may have experience on cruises.

Once you have the contact information for the casting director, it’s time to prepare your audition materials. This will usually include a resume outlining your experience and training, headshots or other photos that show off your looks, and any video or audio recordings of past performances that demonstrate your talents. It’s important to make sure that all of your materials are professional and up-to-date so that you make a great impression on the casting director.

After your materials are ready and sent off, it’s time to wait for the audition call!

This could be weeks or months away depending on when the next round of auditions is scheduled for. When you do receive an audition call, make sure you arrive on time and prepared with all of your materials ready to go.

At your audition, you’ll be asked to perform one or more songs from the repertoire of shows that are currently running on cruise ships. You may also be asked to demonstrate any special skills such as acrobatics or stunts if applicable. Be prepared with multiple songs so that you can show off all of your talents!

If you make it through the audition process successfully then congratulations –you’ve just been hired as a cruise ship performer! The next step will be rehearsals where you will learn all of the choreography and blocking for each song in the show so that when opening night comes around you will be ready to give an amazing performance!

Conclusion:

Getting hired as a cruise ship performer is an exciting opportunity if you have experience in singing, dancing, music or any other form of entertainment! The process involves finding out who the casting directors are and submitting professional audition materials including resumes, headshots and recordings of past performances. After auditioning successfully then comes rehearsals where performers learn all about their roles in order to give an amazing performance on opening night!
