The rule is to wear the same thing to the call back. It helps them remember who you were at the initial audition.
Consider picking up a book called Audition: Everything An Actor Needs To Know To Get The Part by Michael Shurtleff. Even though the advice is decades old, the book is widely considered the bible on the subject.
I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tightrope dancer, so that no incompetent would dare step upon it. -Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Picture it...
An audition for "Fiddler on the Roof"
A girl audtions wearing a peasant dress.
And a headscarf.
Barefoot.
Sings REALLLLLLLLLY sharp.
It was horrifying.
The unbearableness of that moment was made much more painful by the outfit.
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

Posted: 7/26/04 at 6:18pmAudition by Michael Shurtleff is perfection. I love it!
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

Posted: 7/27/04 at 12:19pmI'm currently holding auditions for my new musical 'Midtown and the angry 10" inches.' All cute male BWW members are invited. There is nudity--not in the musical, but in the audition. I will schedule SPECIAL private auditions for Matt_G and JRB.
