How to Audition for the Muppets

[Frogster]

I was wondering if you wanted to audition for the Jim Henson company, who would or how can you get ahold of them? And i mean by any means necessary; email, phone, adress, etc., etc.

You might wanna try disney since its their muppets now.As for henson from what i hear they are going for the live action and creature shop road.But dont take my word i think you should go for it and let us know how it all turns out.

I hope that this helps you. Good luck with your occupation with the Jim Henson Company!

What I plan to do is send in a video tape at least one every year. So for me that means right now while I'm a sophmore, then one when I'm a junior and then one when I'm a senior. What I would do is get your name out. Performing at school, church, birthday parties because they will look for experiance as well. For normal auditions for puppetry teams, like onewaystreet all you have to do is send in a five minute video showing your abilities as a performer... Other than that keep going for your dreams!

Just to clarify - it IS Henson that you want to contact, not Disney. They will be making the shows for Disney and supplying the puppeteering talent. I believe Kevin Clash is a good person to write to.

Unfortunately I don't think it works quite that way.

You're absolutely right, I wrote Kev about two months ago about muppeteering jobs in the future (like when I finish hs and college), but all he sent back was a great autograph photo of him and Elmo. Oh well, I already have a puppeteering job right now anyway that I'm satisfied with.
