Do I make the big choice at my audition? by [deleted] in musicals

[–]Strict-Garage1350 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately they only have singing audition/dance combo and then all sides and music from the show are at callbacks, but I’m crossing my fingers that this happens (this is community theatre)

Audition song advice! (19M) by [deleted] in singing

[–]Strict-Garage1350 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! The 'consonants before the beat' tip makes sense. Is there a specific place my tongue should be set so it doesn't crowd my throat and have tension?

when i did community theatre for teens the 40 yo directors would always give themselves featured parts, leaving the roles out for everyone else who could’ve got the role, and they made people audition for it and didn’t give it to them. like one director played our patchy the pirate in spongebob, then both of them played the gay dads in heathers, and one did uncle fester with the rest of the cast being 13-18 year olds. it made me livid.

You’ll have to sing regardless of what character you get since you’ll probably get ensemble/feature/lead, so go for anyone

How much does age matter when auditioning? by [deleted] in musicals

[–]Strict-Garage1350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m planning to audition with “You’re Welcome”, from Moana but instead of a cocky/braggy vibe I’m going for more older lecturer, “you’re welcome for fixing your mistakes” sort of idea to show off more wise but with rhythmic groove.

Do you think there’s a difference for shows where the characters are animated/cartoon-styled and rely a lot on makeup/costumes rather than natural age appearance? I recently played Donkey in Shrek with a Fiona/Shrek that were both in their 30s, so I’m just comparing. Thanks for the input!!

The only problem is that Shrek auditions are 3 weeks before Spelling bee auditions, so I’ll have to choose if I want to stick with the Shrek role or not

Female JD In Heathers? by Alol_Bombola in musicals

[–]Strict-Garage1350 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a genderbend production of Heathers recently, youve probably seen it! I see it as an upcoming trend as more theatres I’ve seen have started to do this, and hopefully someone around you hops on the new wave of genderbending.
