The Audition Process
Auditioners will move through a series of classes and assessments. Students will learn material for a production number to present at the end of the experience.
The goal is for us to have an understanding of who each student is; how they work with faculty, how they work with their peers, and most importantly, if there is potential for growth in the J2 Method Space.
Audition Material Preparation
New Students may be invited to stay to present an additional 45-60-second monologue. Preferably from a play. One or more songs can be pop or from a musical. 32-bar/90 sec cut. Please provide your own piano accompaniment track. There will not be a live accompanist.
Since this is class, please bring a journal and a pencil.

The J² Company
An audition-based training program for passionate and dedicated young artists, The J² Company serves as the capstone and unifying element of The J² Method.
Structured like a professional conservatory, the Company provides immersive, year-round training in singing, dancing, acting, and wellness. Led by seasoned industry professionals, the curriculum blends technical rigor with creativity and discipline. Students build a strong foundation across all three disciplines while mastering advanced rehearsal techniques, performance craft, and real-world audition skills—essential tools for success both on stage and beyond.
Yet The J² Company is about more than performance — it’s about people. We believe true artistry begins with self-awareness, so our training emphasizes emotional intelligence and mental well-being alongside technical skill. Through thoughtful mentorship and individualized guidance, students are encouraged to take creative risks, cultivate resilience, and deepen their empathy.
In this high-level yet deeply supportive environment, young artists are empowered to move beyond perceived limitations, discover their authentic voices, and unlock the full scope of their creative potential.
