If you plan to enter for several roles, you must have the 2-3 examples for EACH role you apply to. -What form these examples take is mainly up to you, but some jobs have certain requirements. *If you are auditioning for an editing role, you need a description and what you want to edit. one option of how to showcase is like this: If you're interested in editing music, you can have examples with a before/after of music you have produced for timing corrections, volume, or effects. For art/animation editors, you could provide examples with a before/after artwork you have edited for cleaning up, coloring art, or refined animations. For writing editors, you can include an example of before/after lyrics, prose, script, or poetry you have edited for grammar, spelling, clarity, or content. Alternatively you can show examples of what you want to edit (i.e. for an art editor an artwork you have created.) *If you are auditioning to be an assistant manager, you must explain why you want to be an assistant manager, describe your organization system, and share how you handle deadlines/teamwork. If there is a specific field you would like to be assistant manager of (animation manager, editing manager, writing manager, social media manager) please provide examples of that specific thing. Otherwise, you are not specifically required to have any additional examples. *If you are applying to be a social media helper, you must provide an example of a sample caption or post idea for ORBITZ (e.g. an announcement post, teaser post, or type message).

If you notice results and next steps are out but you have not been notified, you unfortunately were not accepted. This does not mean you cannot be a part of the team. Later, if I am in need of backups, more writers, or special helpers, auditionees who were not accepted will be notified. If auditions reopen for other roles, you can reapply. -There is no set number of people I will accept. The more the merrier! Good luck everybody, and I look forward to seeing your beautiful work <3333
