Tip: DOn't use a song with multiple people singing it confuses the casting director and they're trying to figure out why you're having a conversation with yourself
So some examples I can think of off the top of my head is Candy Store, Beautiful, Big Fun, Sincerely me, Schuyler sisters, and the climax of Defying Gravity.
Jayce Todd, I totally agree. Some girl sang “My New Philosophy” for auditions. It was a good performance, but it didn’t work because she went to the left when she was singing for one character, and went to the right for the other.
Tip #1 ~ 1:44 -- wear something different Tip #2 ~ 2:53 -- go comedic Tip #3 ~ 3:31 -- make strong choices Tip #4 ~ 4:48 -- stand out by being prepared Tip #5 ~ 5:53 -- make a human connection with the panel Tip #6 ~ 6:13 -- be professional
I auditioned for my school musical but didnt get in, not even in the chorus 😪 What frustrates me is that a girl who never went to audition got a lead role
B. .-. LITERALLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!!! THE GIRL THAT GOT THE LEAD COULD NOT SING AT ALL!!!! Even my mom said so too and she is a voice coach!!!!
My school did school of rock and the ensemble went from around 20 people to 7 people in a week. Another fun story relating to that practice ran afoul ten minutes into lunch so a few people were practising choreography on the stage, this girl ran onto the stage and started shouting at everyone for being “ theatre kids” ( wow really ) a small fight broke out and teachers had to intervene. Anyway turns out that girl had auditioned for summer but got ensemble and quite in anger
Lmao same thing happened to me but my friend refused the role because she knew I was the most deserving of it but I still didn’t get it but that’s fine it got cancelled anyways LMAO Edit: this sounds narcissistic. What I meant was that everybody just auditioned so they could skip class. Everybody knew I was the only theatre kid in my school.
We are doing 2 plays for the start of the year; we've got back the casting list and I'm one of the main roles! I didn't really want a big character since I was waiting for my shot in Matilda the musical. I really want to be Matilda, I think I have the potential since I've had been in various solos that my drama teacher has assigned. I really hope these tips work! Thank you in advance. :) Edit: I GOT MATILDA! It’s been a while since I’ve made this but I actually got the role of MATILDA!
Katherine: It drives me crazy when people don't do the homework Me: *haves flashbacks to when I seemed like the only one who practiced the required audition song*
First we take over Broadway, then the world, then the UNIVERSE?! (Also Kat, did you hear about the Prom turning into a Netflix movie coming next year and the cast list came out today!)
Hello Sunshyne They never said if it would available in the UK. They only announced the cast, that it will be on Netflix, and the release year which is 2020
OMG SHE LIKED IT! Kat you’ve inspired me so much. I had no theatre for a little bit because my theatre company got shut down. Last fall I did my first production in 2 years and killed it by watching all your theatre videos. You’re a true inspiration.
The be prepared one is super important. At my audition I was the only one who had memorized my monologue and got all of the feelings behind it (they had ones you could use there). And when they asked me to repeat different parts in different voices I knew which parts suited the princess voice, the war general voice, and the valley girl voice. And you know what happened? I got a callback, and got casted as one of the main characters. Prepare kids!
This theatre Thursday it’ll be opening night for Legally Blonde, where I’m playing Elle!!! I’ve never been so nervous & excited at once. Thank you so much for this video, super helpful :)
I'm not auditioning currently, because I'm part of the chorus in a production of Beauty and the Beast. It's not main cast, but I'm happy I'm in the show and it bulks up my resume for future shows. 😊
Remember the ensemble is just important as the cast. Everyone makes it come to life whether you speak or not you are very important you might not know it but the audience is watching you.
I've made a number of short films. I've sat through alot of castings for them. I loved your advice. One thing I would add (why would you not have a resume???) Is to include unique traits and abilities on the resume. I know that everyone doesn't read the resume, but why take the chance? Sometimes the casting process is just so fast and robotic - but I have gotten into conversations with people about the resume. If they can... wiggle ears, speak Klingon, moonwalk, etc... It will show more of their personalities, makes people memorable, may give you something to bond over.. When you're trying to decide and you think a couple of people are roughly equal to the role, something that makes you stand out can make all the difference. Could be your bold choice in clothes, could be that you had skills that made people laugh. Just a thought. 🤔
At my audition in high school, for the dance audition I had holographic filas and dance clothes. When it was time to sing, I put on a dress and gorgeous sparkly heels and when I walked in they were going insane. Like I was known as the shoe girl the entire production. Every audition I do something spontaneous with my wardrobe
I wore a black leotard and like a pink little dress cardigan and jeans and heels for the lines/song, and then the same leotard with shorts and sneakers for the dance auditon
I’m auditioning for my schools socially distanced production of Annie get your gun, and I REALLY needed help since I know NOTHING about the show or how to audition for it so thank you for this
Actually got a part in a ballet based on these tips because when you walk into the room the casting panel is looking for someone who is a team player, is polite, is on time and you all have to wear the same uniform essentially, but that big smile makes such a huge difference. If you're auditioning to be a snowflake, be a snowflake! Be gentle on the breeze, float through the air - people weren't really getting that aspect of auditioning. The casting panel actually laughed when I messed up but ended with a flourish!
I’m auditioning for Pinnochio for Shrek the Musical Jr. at my middle school. Thank you so, so, so, so much, your channel has helped me so much when it comes to acting and auditioning!
i have an audition tomorrow for “the little mermaid” and i’m super nervous. i’m binging a few of your audition tip videos and they’re really helping. thank you so much kat!
My next audition is the Genie in Aladdin Jr. I’ve always wanted to be the Genie! Thanks for asking! You’re my favorite theatre 🎭 cult leader! (Btw yesterday was my birthday)
Same! I’m trying to prepare a song, but I feel like I can stand out because I’m a gymnast and I have a lot of tricks and things I can do in friend like me or something like that. I’m really hoping I get the part as I think it’ll fit me well.
Krista Tyre omg! I have nothing to do with this comment but I was Fastrada in pippin two years ago and it was THE BEST. The whole cast was great, even if the show is messed up ahah
My school is doing Heathers the musical (High school edition) I’m auditioning for Veronica Sawyer tomorrow! I’ll get the call back on Friday. We’ll see how it goes! 💞 UPDATE: ackk, sorry for never updating. i completely forgot that i commented this,, it went well and i got the role as veronica :)
I personally did a derp during the Auditions for Spamalot (to be performing this summer) and I remember feeling like I wasn't going to get anything and then somehow I got Patsy. I recently found out that the cast is going to comprise of some of my best friends from that company. So I am thrilled to be chasing one of my best theatre friends around the stage with coconuts.
The Addams family. I’m trying to go for Lucas (I’m a trans male that hasn’t fully transitioned in highschool) so I’m hoping I’ll stand out in a good way.
I'm also a trans male and I'm going to be auditioning for a Halloween-themed musical on Monday. I also hope I stand out in a good way. I hope your audition went well!
I'm auditioning in August for the college of my dream! I'm so so excited but also super scared. The minute I started working on this audition I found your UA-cam channel, you've been so helpful, thanks Kat! Xxx
I have my high school's vocal auditions tomorrow for the musical grease. I know I will do well. I'm preforming some of the song "Look At ME, I'm Sandra Dee"!
I can't believe I JUST found your channel. I've recently started getting more involved in community and college theatre and it's kinda scary. My high school theatre never had serious or professional auditions so your guides are so helpful! I will definitely be following your channel more closely. :) My next audition is for Fiddler on the Roof!
Hi Katherine! I love your videos! I do theatre all the time and I have some requests for videos. 1. What are some techniques that casting directors use? 2. Why do I always get sick during shows? 3. Why do the best actors or actresses sometimes get ensemble? 4. What do you think about the Tony Awards? 5. What is the worst thing that ever happened to you during a show? 6. How do you get yourself to feel better after a show ends? 7. How do survive being sick during rehearsals/ tech week/ THE SHOW? 8. Jr. Shows 9. Getting Over Not Being Cast as The Part You Wanted 10. Waiting To Hear If You Got The Part These are just requests but it would be cool if you made videos about them or responded to me. Your so amazing Katherine! Thanks for making such a great theatre channel for all us thespians! OTHER PEOPLE: Like this if you want her to do any of these things or reply with your own ideas
This comment is rlly old but one reason why you might get sick during shows is because you get less sleep and then your immune system is compromised, which paired with being in close proximity to other ppl makes you get sick
My next audition is for Newsies at our high school theatre! I’m going into freshman year and I am SOOO excited for their drama program and I really want to have a really good audition. I either want to audition for Katherine Plumber, Crutchie, or an ensemble newsie. Any suggestions for audition songs?
I auditioned for Amelie the Musical 4 months ago, and I didn't get the part I was hoping for. I went up on stage, was in the middle of singing, and I froze. Mind you, I have spend months, preparing this. Therefore, I didn't get the part. But what I learned from that is, even if you, never stop trying. And don't fail to try. Like, if I didn't get the part, then there is another audition around the corner.
Hey Kat! Saw Light in the Piazza on West End the other day and it was amazing! The story and music are beautiful, and they are outside of my usual taste. I went because I heard about it from you, so thank you for helping me step outside of my comfort zone! I loved it!
Just saw this video, so I am Super late to this comment but I do have an Audition and Callback coming up. The latter is for a Shakespeare company and the former is an Equity Chorus Call for Hamilton. I’ve known is coming up and, because it’s my favorite musical of all time, I’ve had some trouble letting go of the “importance” of it and not making it a thing. Some things that have helped included; working on material during classes, pretending it’s the audition itself. Going down to a studio and working the material out super slow and deliberately. And I’m also taking private lessons and dances classes to just bounce my ideas off another human being in preparation. One thing that has always helped is getting just one person’s name in the room and repeating it out loud. It makes them, and hopefully myself, a person person and always brings a bit of myself into the room. Thank you for making these videos! Break a leg out there!
in about 2 hours i’m auditioning for anne of green gables in my city, dreaming for gilbert, hoping to get in the show, probably am gonna get cut, i’m thrilled!
I’m 13, and I’m just getting into musical theater. I get so nervous during auditioning and this is definitely something I want to with my life but, I feel like my voice isn’t good enough for it. But, I REALLY want to do this for a living and my dream is to get a Tony Award one day🥺 . Thank you so much ! This video helped me out a lot .! Ohh nd I’m auditioning for Frozen Jr.. please wish me luck .!🌚🌟
GOOD LUCK!!! (I know you typed this 3 years ago but you probably forgot about it and reading it over and remembering how you felt might put a smile on your face!!) hope you are still Persuing your dreams!!! ❤
I binge watched all your audition videos before my last audition and followed your advice and I just got cast in my first non-ensemble role. 🥹 The part I was auditioning for and everything 🥲 Maybe it's luck, maybe it's the right show, but also, maybe it's Kath Steele. 🥰
Bestie when you do cold reads for an audition…. READ THE MATERIAL IN ADVANCE. The amount of people who don’t do this is insane, it makes making choices when your doing the scene so much easier because you already have an idea of how to present the scene way in advance. You can experiment with making unique choices. You aren’t just reading words on paper.
When my sister wanted the role of old crone in a production of Snow White, she sang “What is this Feeling” from Wicked for her audition. The first “loathing” the casting team all either jumped out of their chairs or nearly fell over cause the expression on her face scared them so badly….. She got the part!
Ohh my gosh i need this!! Im having an audition to the beauty and the beast musical in under a month and was wondering how i could stand out! Thank you so much Kat ❤️
I've been bingeing all of your audtion videos because I have auditions for Legally Blonde next week and I really want Elle! All of your advice has been wonderful!!! Thank you!!!
I had an audition and used these tips, I didn't get the main role vis they said I was to young but then they said they would write a whole new part for me!
I’m auditioning for a school production next week, it’s a group audition and its my first time doing an actual show. It’s not a musical but I’m really looking forward to it!
Thanks to this video I helped my mom get into a community theatre after she moved. They were hosting an Andrew Lloyd Webber cabaret and you could audition with any and as many songs you wanted.... Of course my mom wanted to audition with Think of Me from Phantom AND Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again AND Memory (from Cats... right after the movie came out) I told her to stray from all of those songs, pulled out our Andrew Lloyd Webber Piano books, and gave her With One Look from Sunset Boulevard. She did go in with that and Wishing, and ended up able to sing both on stage. 5 different people came in with Memory, and twice as many with Think of Me. Always go with a second choice, or a lesser known option. Casting directors don't want to hear the same song 5 times... and if they do, they probably won't remember your audition unless it was absolutely perfect.
Going for callbacks in 5 days. It’s my senior year of high school, and we’ll be doing Little Shop of Horrors. I have callbacks for Mushnik, Orin, and Audrey2. I’m very much looking forward to this! (Hoping for A2, but really it’s whatever is best for the show:)
I’m auditioning for my school’s Sound of Music. It’s weird because I’m non-binary (female at birth) and have a strange vocal range, so I’m singing one of JM Barie’s songs from Finding Neverland.
Hey there!! Here’s a whole playlist on advice- pretty much every topic is covered in here (including how to find the perfect audition song!). Break a leg ☺️ ua-cam.com/play/PLQT9aHBtN_y8GZBgldiqRMFM6tjrCL9XQ.html
QOTD: Cinderella in Cinderella Youth Edition! It's my 8th grade year and I'm finally not competition againt the girl who is the fav (she is a year older than me) so I really hope I get it.
I haven’t auditioned before, but in a few weeks I’m going to be auditioning for a School Of Rock play at my local theater. I’m auditioning for summer and I hope I can get the part! Your videos have helped out a ton!
Power move: audition for Shrek the Musical with All Star
Blueboxjuker XD I’m actually about audition for Shrek...and I have no clue what to sing....
Dark Rose Animations same i’m having such a hard time deciding
🤣🤣🤣
Smile Lile Break a leg, broski!!! You got this :)
i was a duloc performer and the dragon when i was in shrek the musical :)
Tip: DOn't use a song with multiple people singing it confuses the casting director and they're trying to figure out why you're having a conversation with yourself
So some examples I can think of off the top of my head is Candy Store, Beautiful, Big Fun, Sincerely me, Schuyler sisters, and the climax of Defying Gravity.
Also like the majority of Six
Hermione Granger honestly super popular new musicals are a bad choice in general
Jayce Todd, I totally agree. Some girl sang “My New Philosophy” for auditions. It was a good performance, but it didn’t work because she went to the left when she was singing for one character, and went to the right for the other.
A-are you saying I can’t sing Alexander Hamilton aka. the best song ever?!?!?!
Guess who’s playing Rapunzel’s understudy in a professional production of Into The Woods? I’m so freaking excited!!!
Yay!! Congrats!! 💕
Katherine Steele Thank you!!! ✨✨✨

Tip #1 ~ 1:44 -- wear something different

My school did school of rock and the ensemble went from around 20 people to 7 people in a week. Another fun story relating to that practice ran afoul ten minutes into lunch so a few people were practising choreography on the stage, this girl ran onto the stage and started shouting at everyone for being “ theatre kids” ( wow really ) a small fight broke out and teachers had to intervene. Anyway turns out that girl had auditioned for summer but got ensemble and quite in anger
Lmao same thing happened to me but my friend refused the role because she knew I was the most deserving of it but I still didn’t get it but that’s fine it got cancelled anyways LMAO
Edit: this sounds narcissistic. What I meant was that everybody just auditioned so they could skip class. Everybody knew I was the only theatre kid in my school.
Don’t be SAD!!!
If u didn’t get that part just work on what u should’ve done better and don’t make them again in the next audition!!!
We are doing 2 plays for the start of the year; we've got back the casting list and I'm one of the main roles!

I’m trying to go for Lucas (I’m a trans male that hasn’t fully transitioned in highschool) so I’m hoping I’ll stand out in a good way.
I'm also a trans male and I'm going to be auditioning for a Halloween-themed musical on Monday. I also hope I stand out in a good way. I hope your audition went well!
@@creepycuddles1015 good luck! sadly mine got completely canceled, i hope you have a better chance then me.
I'm auditioning for Wednesday!

Pickles Plays update us when you get the cast list! :)
I'm auditioning in August for the college of my dream! I'm so so excited but also super scared. The minute I started working on this audition I found your UA-cam channel, you've been so helpful, thanks Kat! Xxx
I got accepted!!
4 years later but CONGRATSSSS THAT SOUNDS AMAZING
I have my high school's vocal auditions tomorrow for the musical grease. I know I will do well. I'm preforming some of the song "Look At ME, I'm Sandra Dee"!
My next audition is my first audition outside of high school its a Christmas carol I'm really nervous and excited thanks for the advise and help!
There’s an audition for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and I really want to be Puck!!!!!! Thank you for this video!!!! I’m very nervous but excited!!!!!
is it a new camera BECASUE IT LOOKS SO GOOD IM DYING
I can't believe I JUST found your channel. I've recently started getting more involved in community and college theatre and it's kinda scary. My high school theatre never had serious or professional auditions so your guides are so helpful! I will definitely be following your channel more closely. :) My next audition is for Fiddler on the Roof!
Auditioning for Chip in my school play (beauty and the beast) next week! I’m singing Human Again because we had a set list of songs to choose from :)
up all night getting ready for my college audition tomorrow 🥳🥳
Hi Katherine! I love your videos! I do theatre all the time and I have some requests for videos.
1. What are some techniques that casting directors use?
2. Why do I always get sick during shows?
3. Why do the best actors or actresses sometimes get ensemble?
4. What do you think about the Tony Awards?
5. What is the worst thing that ever happened to you during a show?
6. How do you get yourself to feel better after a show ends?
7. How do survive being sick during rehearsals/ tech week/ THE SHOW?
8. Jr. Shows
9. Getting Over Not Being Cast as The Part You Wanted
10. Waiting To Hear If You Got The Part
These are just requests but it would be cool if you made videos about them or responded to me. Your so amazing Katherine! Thanks for making such a great theatre channel for all us thespians!
OTHER PEOPLE: Like this if you want her to do any of these things or reply with your own ideas
This comment is rlly old but one reason why you might get sick during shows is because you get less sleep and then your immune system is compromised, which paired with being in close proximity to other ppl makes you get sick
Im not auditioning because im In a musical (The Little Mermaid) and my health can only take being in one show at a time.
My next audition is for Newsies at our high school theatre! I’m going into freshman year and I am SOOO excited for their drama program and I really want to have a really good audition. I either want to audition for Katherine Plumber, Crutchie, or an ensemble newsie. Any suggestions for audition songs?
omg i know it’s like 2 years late but what did u get??
How did you do? It’s been two years. Did it get cancelled because of covid?
@@dumbsheep1134 it did get cancelled, i wasn’t a great role and the production wasn’t managed well anyways :/
@@reha3063 Aw, what role did you get?
I auditioned for Amelie the Musical 4 months ago, and I didn't get the part I was hoping for. I went up on stage, was in the middle of singing, and I froze. Mind you, I have spend months, preparing this. Therefore, I didn't get the part. But what I learned from that is, even if you, never stop trying. And don't fail to try. Like, if I didn't get the part, then there is another audition around the corner.
next audition, it’s for a comedic play for my school (i think it’s comedic) and i’m SO READY FOR THIS. i will get in this play >:)
i’m taking a small break in the summer from audition but my last audition was for our town ♥️
Hey Kat! Saw Light in the Piazza on West End the other day and it was amazing! The story and music are beautiful, and they are outside of my usual taste. I went because I heard about it from you, so thank you for helping me step outside of my comfort zone! I loved it!
YAY!! I’m so glad you enjoyed ♥️♥️
What is happening?! 😭 I’m loving these bonus uploads!! 💞
Just saw this video, so I am Super late to this comment but I do have an Audition and Callback coming up. The latter is for a Shakespeare company and the former is an Equity Chorus Call for Hamilton. I’ve known is coming up and, because it’s my favorite musical of all time, I’ve had some trouble letting go of the “importance” of it and not making it a thing.
Some things that have helped included; working on material during classes, pretending it’s the audition itself. Going down to a studio and working the material out super slow and deliberately. And I’m also taking private lessons and dances classes to just bounce my ideas off another human being in preparation. One thing that has always helped is getting just one person’s name in the room and repeating it out loud. It makes them, and hopefully myself, a person person and always brings a bit of myself into the room. Thank you for making these videos! Break a leg out there!
in about 2 hours i’m auditioning for anne of green gables in my city, dreaming for gilbert, hoping to get in the show, probably am gonna get cut, i’m thrilled!
I’m 13, and I’m just getting into musical theater. I get so nervous during auditioning and this is definitely something I want to with my life but, I feel like my voice isn’t good enough for it. But, I REALLY want to do this for a living and my dream is to get a Tony Award one day🥺 . Thank you so much ! This video helped me out a lot .! Ohh nd I’m auditioning for Frozen Jr.. please wish me luck .!🌚🌟
GOOD LUCK!!! (I know you typed this 3 years ago but you probably forgot about it and reading it over and remembering how you felt might put a smile on your face!!) hope you are still Persuing your dreams!!! ❤
Curious since this was years ago, did you get the role you wanted?
I did frozen jr too! I got callback for Anna!
I just finished a performance for frozen jr this night! Only got Townsperson 1 tho (Auditioned for Anna or Olaf)
@@keiko9968 I did townsperson 6 heh
I binge watched all your audition videos before my last audition and followed your advice and I just got cast in my first non-ensemble role. 🥹 The part I was auditioning for and everything 🥲
Maybe it's luck, maybe it's the right show, but also, maybe it's Kath Steele. 🥰
CONGRATS!! THATS AWESOME
Bestie when you do cold reads for an audition…. READ THE MATERIAL IN ADVANCE. The amount of people who don’t do this is insane, it makes making choices when your doing the scene so much easier because you already have an idea of how to present the scene way in advance. You can experiment with making unique choices. You aren’t just reading words on paper.
I could've used this yesterday. When I was singing for my audition the directors looked bored.
I'm auditioning for Spongebob the Musical tomorrow and I'm pretty excited but also nervous. Glad I found this girl, thanks Katherine!!
When my sister wanted the role of old crone in a production of Snow White, she sang “What is this Feeling” from Wicked for her audition. The first “loathing” the casting team all either jumped out of their chairs or nearly fell over cause the expression on her face scared them so badly….. She got the part!
Ohh my gosh i need this!! Im having an audition to the beauty and the beast musical in under a month and was wondering how i could stand out! Thank you so much Kat ❤️
My next audition is for Frozen Jr
I’m auditioning for Elsa
Wish me broken legs!!
Did it go well
Savannah Savercool yeah actually! i got sven but the show was SOO much fun to do!
I've been bingeing all of your audtion videos because I have auditions for Legally Blonde next week and I really want Elle! All of your advice has been wonderful!!! Thank you!!!
Did you get Elle?
@@keiko9968 Nope! I got Margot! But it was still a fun show!!
I had an audition and used these tips, I didn't get the main role vis they said I was to young but then they said they would write a whole new part for me!
I’m auditioning for a school production next week, it’s a group audition and its my first time doing an actual show. It’s not a musical but I’m really looking forward to it!
Show: Matilda
Role: Matilda
My next audition is for Alice in the Addams Family! :))
Hayden Beth Burwick Oooh good luck!
My next audition is for our school musical I have no idea what it is but I am trying out 😂
Lily Davis really that’s awesome after watching this video I’m bringing a headshot and a resume to my school audition 😂
I have an audition for Frozen coming up, so thank you! This was really helpful
KontoGS I am also doing Frozen, do you have any tips?
My current next audition is Steel Magnolias, the play! I'm hoping for the role of Shelby!
I do cheering and our school colors are similar to westerburg’s, so our cheer uniforms look similar to westerburg’s lmao
Shrek: the musical is the next for me I don’t know what to sing....
Update: I’m hoping to get Fiona but I’m thinking of a song Prom
Thanks to this video I helped my mom get into a community theatre after she moved. They were hosting an Andrew Lloyd Webber cabaret and you could audition with any and as many songs you wanted.... Of course my mom wanted to audition with Think of Me from Phantom AND Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again AND Memory (from Cats... right after the movie came out)
I told her to stray from all of those songs, pulled out our Andrew Lloyd Webber Piano books, and gave her With One Look from Sunset Boulevard. She did go in with that and Wishing, and ended up able to sing both on stage. 5 different people came in with Memory, and twice as many with Think of Me. Always go with a second choice, or a lesser known option. Casting directors don't want to hear the same song 5 times... and if they do, they probably won't remember your audition unless it was absolutely perfect.
OMG I GOT SO EXCITED BC I AM AUDITIONING FOR MY LOCAL TEEN THEATRE COMPANY AND WE ARE DOING SHERK !!
Last year I watched this video, and here I am again…..in frozen, dance audition is Tuesday…yipee
Going for callbacks in 5 days. It’s my senior year of high school, and we’ll be doing Little Shop of Horrors. I have callbacks for Mushnik, Orin, and Audrey2. I’m very much looking forward to this! (Hoping for A2, but really it’s whatever is best for the show:)
I auditioned yesterday and I have a call back tomorrow
I’m auditioning for my school’s Sound of Music. It’s weird because I’m non-binary (female at birth) and have a strange vocal range, so I’m singing one of JM Barie’s songs from Finding Neverland.
Hi love ❤️❤️ I’m auditioning for Sophie in my high schools production of Mamma Mia. Do you have any tips/audition songs for me. Thank you, I love you.
Hey there!! Here’s a whole playlist on advice- pretty much every topic is covered in here (including how to find the perfect audition song!). Break a leg ☺️ ua-cam.com/play/PLQT9aHBtN_y8GZBgldiqRMFM6tjrCL9XQ.html
Katherine Steele thank you so much ❤️

I’m currently singing/dancing for carnival cruise lines, just completed a call back audition for the tour of JCS for the role of Judas! 🚀😄
My next play I'm auditioning for is my school's production of Our Town. So excited!!
If anyone is nervous don’t worry it can’t go worse than 12 year old me who fell off the stage when I was told to pretend to be a bird
I’m trying out for a play called the mouse that roared
Oh my I have an audition tomorrow and the nerves are kicking in so I am frantically googling audition tips and this is what came up
