auditioning
Testing for parts
Auditioning is the process of trying out for a role or position by performing for those making the selection.
Actors audition for parts, musicians audition for orchestras, dancers audition for companies.
The word works as both a present participle and a gerund: She's auditioning for the lead or Auditioning is nerve-wracking.
