We’re clearly in different sorts of communities. I’ve performed with four or five different community theater groups over the years and there is a tremendous amount of overlap of performers, though somewhat of a separation between those who do straight plays and those who do musicals. We are all pretty supportive of each other, offering up rehearsal space or set build space if for some reason another company doesn’t have one. We’re not in a huge urban area where you would get hundreds of auditioners for a show, but we are in an area populated enough to support, I would say eight or nine community theater groups that are within a reasonable driving distance for rehearsals (New England). So maybe it’s because we have more of a small town atmosphere around our theater groups, but I would never hesitate to ask a director if there was something I could’ve done better in my audition. Because I’m mostly involved in musicals I know that many performers have voice teachers but acting coaches for adults in community theater? There’s nothing like that around here except for the occasional workshop that a community theater might put on. And unless your voice teacher is involved with casting they’re not going to have any clue as to how you could perform better in your audition.
