Sample script for audition recording:

Student: “Hi there, my name is (Student Name) and I am a junior at a Connecticut high school.”

Student: “Throughout my high school career I have taken UConn ECE Biology, History and Calculus. As I enter my senior year, I want to transfer my credits to the colleges of my choice. The only problem is I’m a little confused on how to do that.”

Husky: “Hi there, you’re in luck because today I am going to show you how to go about transferring your credits.”

Husky: “Before we get started, did you include in your college applications that you took UConn courses in high school?”

Student: “I did! Remember that if there is room on the application be sure to include which UConn courses you took even before you send your transcript.”

Please pause and react between your (student) lines.
