Auditions are done efficiently, performers can expect very short wait times at auditions, aiming for less than 15 minutes.
Seating available before audition, no standing line-ups.
Typically auditions will be done in front of a green-screen with cameras running.

Many productions are in the studio and green-screen, but some shoots will be on-location.
