The Best Audition Songs for 101 Dalmatians KIDS – by Character
Do you have an upcoming audition for 101 Dalmatians KIDS? Well unless you have specifically been asked to sing a song from the show that you’re auditioning for, it’s generally best not to.

Step 1: Read your audition details
*Important!* In some auditions for 101 Dalmatians, they may actually request that you prepare a song from the show. They also might specify exactly what they’d like to hear (a nursery rhyme, something comedic, etc.). So please read your audition details carefully, and select a song that’s appropriate for your casting call.
Step 2: Study the show
Before auditioning, you should get familiar with the show. Here’s where you can learn about 101 Dalmatians KIDS➝.
Step 3: Pick an audition song
Next, based on your personality and vocal type, decide whether you’d like to audition for the ensemble or a specific character. Just keep in mind that if you audition for a specific character, you still might not be chosen for that particular role.
There’s usually a spot on the audition form asking if you are open to being in the ensemble or accepting a different role. I would suggest ticking that box and taking whatever you are offered. Every role is important, and you will earn valuable experience in a show.
And on that same note, even if you audition for the ensemble (rather than a specific character), there’s always a chance of being cast in a leading or supporting role!
To summarize, keep an open mind and try not to take the process too seriously. And when you’re ready, choose the song that you feel most comfortable with from the list below.
