WESE Audition Scoring Rubric

for Aspiring Anchors, Reporters, and Skit Players

2006 - 2007

This is the rubric used to score the auditions for anchor, reporter, ad skit player. Every student that applies for one of these roles will receive an audition. Each student should come to auditions prepared. Memorizing the script is a good idea as students are often nervous. Auditions are conducted in the studio by Ms. Alexander and taped so that the Teacher Selection Committee may view them later.
