I saw Heathers in the thumbnail, and like a simple person, I click at the speed at light.
-Don't sing Say No To This-
HB FS Yep two very true statements. XD
So ture
HB FS yes so true
HB FS -Don't sing Dead Girl Walking-
HB FS -dont- sing meant to be yours
Here's a tip! No matter how good you might sound singing Micheal in the bathroom, burn, or lifeboat, you should never sing a song from the current "hit musical". Especially if it's a school or local show. Trust me, they've already heard people sing waving through a window with eight different note patterns at least ten times today.
Pick an unknown or less popular musical or song.
This.
*slowly shuts up*
The.dreamer. Jpg literally nobody in my school knows broadway in the slightest so I'm fine to use them XD
Haha. Where I'm from there's not a lot of musical nerds and/ or musical/acting opportunities outside and inside of high school production so basically every musical (no matter what musical) is an unknown musical and even if you sing a well known theatre song, no one is gunna care (if anything they'll be ecstatic) because the reality of someone else singing that song is next to nothing. However this is a good tip for when I move to a big city for university.
DJ fluffyZ Sushi
Same, except for maybe Hamilton I can sing whatever but in terms of songs in my vocal range that I know I'm going for a less known musical.
Also you dont want to sing sad songs like Stay Alive Reprise because you'll start crying.
Eurgh I know!!!! Listening to Stay Alive and then when Stay Alive Reprise comes on straight after on shuffle and you're just a mess... you know!
Kelsey Rocks DONT DO HAMILTON ON SHUFFLE. I had Helpless, Burn, Dear Theodosia, Blow Us All Away, It's Quiet Uptown, then WLWDWTYS
Sealpet252 AJ OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK UNIVERSE IS AGAINST YOU
I can sing any sad songs from hamilton
Kelsey Rocks I STILL CRY EVERY TIME
plz dont use a song thats part of the show ur auditioning for
VERY true!
Owain Milliken i mean unless that's what your theatre calls for. for chicago we had to sing All That Jazz
Owain Milliken hey wow we have the same last name
Unless they specifically tell you to. I auditioned for a production of Joseph and they gave us Joseph songs to sing.
Owain Milliken my school makes me 😂
Extra tip: don't sing songs that multiple people sing, or have layers and everyone says something different, basically songs like non-stop, good for you, upgrade, the money, evelyn evelyn, hello, and maaaaybe candy store
Soooooooooo true!
for candy store you could do something like alice lee's rendition because that was beautiful
Yep
imagine trying to sing nonstop on your own
history has its WHY DO YOU ASUEM STAIFISE LOOK AROUDN LOOOK A NONSTOP HE WILL NEVER BE SMARTEST IN THE ROOM WHY DO YOU SATISIFIED WHY DO YOU WRITE LIKE YOUR RUNNING OUT OF TIME WHY DO YOU A DLIKE HISTORY HAS ITS EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYS ON YOU
5am Forever MAAAYBE
I auditioned for Martha in a 9th grade heathers play. I got Heather Chandler. I was so fucking confused.
Hahaha this is the best thing ever!!!
Amy Lovatt I had to wear 4 inch heels because I was too short compared to the other heathers...
Classical Penguin omg why does this never happen to me?!?! congrats! I am sure you were awesome 😊 Also how did you do heathers in 9th grade... isn't it a bit.... much for 9th grade? 😂
_.Tyler Joseph! at the Pity Party._ No... my high school was a dark place.
Classical Penguin lol. you are lucky. My school wouldn't even let us say one cuss word in the school musical 😂
I can't even sing I just came for Heathers
Just Ryan
Your profile pic is TRIGGERING me! I JUST got over MCRX and your profile pic REMINDED me!!!!!
Just Ryan same
Just Ryan SAME
Hercules Mulligan MCRX
Just Ryan same I can't sing either
Her: don't sing songs that are to fast for you
Me: guns and ships?
5am Forever lol as long as you don't go "IM TAKING THIS HORSE BYTHEREINSTIDKDICJSJFJEJ"
Victoria Long i can almost sing guns and ships perfectly just the "i'll burn em' up and scatter they're remains' part always messes me up
You haven't heard the disappearance of Hastune Miku yet.

We were reading a book in English and there was a character with the last name Lafayette, everytime they were mentioned people would ask who they were so while the teacher explained Lafayette for the HUNDREDTH time two girls in my class began rapping Guns and Ships FLAWLESSLY and I was just saying the 'Lafayett''s in the middle. It was great
the best song to sing is Blue from Heathers. *10 out of 10*
BETH MICHAEL WHAT DID THEY DOO TO YOUUU
BETH MICHAEL THEIR HANGING SADLY
yes definitely very appropriate
Or maybe Blue (reprise)
BIG SWORD FIGHT IN HER MOOOOUUUUTHH
Cassie Blue that sure sounds crowded
This is a an inside joke. My old Troupe is not allowed to sing Hairspray. Everyone sang Hairspray for an auditions, the director said he "heard the whole musical 10 time"
Capra Illustrations lmao
even more advice!
if you're going to sing a song that is traditionally belted (ex: memory from cats), and you're singing it in your head voice, stop and go rethink your life choices.
hahahah that is brilliant... and very true!
Megan Karow I absolutely disagree-
I played Miss Hannigan in Annie and the day before the show I got a cold. I tried to belt the last note of little girls and hurt my voice. I couldn't talk for the rest of the day (but I thankfully recovered and was able to hit the note in the show). Don't overwork your voice, and if you need to take a break, (lol Hamilton) then take one. Don't hurt yourself.
+Founding Father With A Wand if you're already in the show it's pretty much fine. but if you're singing a song for an audition that you can't sing properly, you're not very likely to get the part.
Megan Karow
GrizzzZabellla the glaMour CAT!
Megan Karow Did you see the Seth Redensky video?
"If you sing Defying Gravity better than Rachel Tucker, unlikely as it is, you may as well... go for it.
But if you don't, THEN DON'T." - Truest statement ever!!!😂😂😂 Hahha loved this video!❤️
Thanks so much Carrie!!! So happy you enjoyed it :) X
No one else
Carrie Rose *Xrawls out of a hole* Donna Vivino is better. *crawls back into hole in satisfaction*
Thankyou... I'm preparing for for an audition and almost sang defying gravity... no

Peggy Sullivan lucky wait your school is doing heathers what grade r u in also like if your young then what are Veronica and JD going to do for dead girl walking
I was one of 13 girls in an audition session for Annie. Every single girl except me sang "Tomorrow". 😐🔫
Juce That's sad. People should never do a song from the show they are auditioning for
Bethany Hooper lmao "my heart will go on". And I sang the ENTIRE thing 😂😂😂 I feel so bad for those producers now
Juce You get in?
I did actually. I got the police officer at the beginning who tries to take the dog to the pound.
At my audition for The Lion King, almost everyone did tomorrow. I did Can I Get An Amen by CG5.
*tries to imitate Idina Menzel and Phillipa soo* Well it ain't workin' for me
Theatre kid And Hamiltrash WORK!!!*dramatic finger/hand flick* sass
lmao
Lmao me :')
That me but with Sierra B. And Kaitlyn Frank... and Kara Lindsay... as well as Pippa.
why am i here? i don't even do musical theater
memogenesis symphony me neither
Me too... I'm a competitive dancer
YOU DONT???
@@lolyoudonthearthepeoplesin668 i would do musical theatre, but I sound like a dying cat
olivia grace IKR, I’m literally a writer. I love musicals but I’m not actor.
dont sing any of these:
Defying Gravity from Wicked
No On Else from Great Comet
Anything from Heathers
Burn from Hamilham
Anything Les Mis
AND IM TELLING YOU, NOTHING DISNEY
The Holy Goddess Of Hellflame I thought for a second you were saying "And I Am Telling You" from Dreamgirls 😂
I think no one else is not that taboo or overdone (yet anyways) if you can pull it off i say go for it
I'm singing beautiful because you said not to >:3
Heather McNamara we need an update. Did u get the role singing beautiful 😂😂
@@user-dt1fo9jz4f no results yet >:c
Don't sing guns and ships guys because rip
Theatre kid And Hamiltrash But... I can do it perfect
lmao true
Erin Aldrich same 💛
but... im so close ;-;
But... I spent a week practicing it at get it 7 or 8 times out of 10....
#1 non-stop from Hamilton
Lefse
#2 96,000 from In The Heights
Yeah. Non Stop is a bad idea. Way, Way, WAY too many different parts.
And guns and ships
JaniPup26 Sings okay i can actully kind of sing the rap but still
If I did a audition and sang a song from Hamilton I would sing either dear Thedosia or you'll be back in
I've seen it a couple of times in this comment section, but rule 11:
Do NOT, NOT NOT NOT, sing a song from the musical you're auditioning for. If a theater requests that you sing a song from that specific musical, they either don't know what the hell they're doing or they don't have confidence that the audition attendees know what songs are good for their voice and for the show.
Be a true musical theatre nerd; go for shows that not many people have heard of. I've heard some amazing auditions from people who chose songs from Zombie Prom, Evil Dead, Love's Labour's Lost, etc etc.
Even digging up some classics like Music Man and Hello Dolly at least show a shred of appreciation for the history of theatre.
TL;DR, you sell yourself as an actor with the songs that you chose. Don't be a repackaged good.
Nick Smith why, though?
You’re so wrong
Singing from the show is literally just making the job of the casting director(s) much easier. It gives them an idea of how you sound in the specific show that you are doing. If a song from the show fits your voice well, you should do it!!
When I auditioned for West End/Broadway Casts, if you are auditioning for a specific role, you need your 16 bars AND 16 bars from A SONG FROM THAT ROLE AND ANOTHER 16 bars from ANOTHER song from that role/from that musical if the role only have one song. And I'm not taking about the call backs, I'm talking about the first round of audition.
"#2. Don't sing songs that are too high for you." Wait, shi-... That means all of them. :(
Same...
Quizzerd Story of my life....
Me, a sad contralto
Quizzerd lol as an Alto everything is either too high or too low
Yes
I can't sing, I can't even try to sing, but I see heathers and be more chill and I click
Heheh thanks for watching!!
Idc if I can't sing, I'll sing (especially if it's Rocky Horror or Joseph)!
same 😂
So me right now (still) 😂
i sang funny girl- "don't rain on my parade" and didn't make the cut, week later i attended a musical camp. i sang it, they said i sang it perfectly, but the reason i wasnt chosen was because they heard it 28639287399639829768860 billion times and they were done hearing it.
here's a little advice, if you're a soprano, don't you dare sing i feel pretty.
do you know how many times people have sung that?
my gosh!!
ive heard so many i feel pretty auditions it annoys the heck out of me.
please.
thank you, i love you.
I KNOW!!
I mean... I'm a mezzo personally, but if I was a sop... I wouldn't... for you... and everyone else.
kath schulz must've been PRETTY annoying
Sing something like someone like you from Jekyll and Hyde
@@AmyLovatt1If u were a soprano I wanna see you on Christine you so look the part
The only thing I was expecting was:
For #3 the part in Our Love Is God when Kurt and Ram count "one, two.." and JD comes out with a gun and says "Three *boom!*"
YES
Heathers!
WAIT OMG YESS
Diaries Of The Popularly Impaired I played JD in a showcase once. One of my teachers ran an audition and a group of my friends auditioned with a song from heathers (seventeen) we got it, but she asked us to sing freeze your brain with me as JD...
Top 3 songs not to do for an audition;
3. Anything from a modern musical (Dear Evan Hanson, Hamilton etc.)
2. Blue, Heathers. Pretty self explanatory.
1. On My Own, Les Mis. Also, pretty self explanatory.
Yeah Blue is totally self explanatory XD
You make my balls so blue...
kei you hurt them badly
You make my balls so blue...
Yeah especially a high school audition, I got like a week of detention from the head of the theater department .
Okay, I hate that I’ll have to do this, but I’m auditioning for Eponine and it is required to sing a song from the show. 32 bars and no less. Guess what is the only instance in the show where she has 32 bars of music to herself???
(It’s On My Own. It’s freaking On My Own.)
I thought u would say to not sing any songs with cursing in it (*cough cough* Heathers *cough cough* Don't worry I STILL LOVE HEATHERS) if it's a school play audition or something
Yeah that's a fair point!!
That's a given ahahaha
satan
Or Lifeboat
sing dead girl walking (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
oml imagine someone singing someone the shine a light reprise.
I can't even sing, why am I watching this?
Ive sang on my own for so many auditions my god
SAME! I'm trying not to anymore... I don't want it too be so overused that I can't stand it anymore... 😢
it’s like the best song ever tho
Cora Fitzgerald I love On My Own and I really want to use it because it's such a comfortable range but it's over used as hell
Lmao same
However I got accepted into what I was doing so 😂
I sang Good Morning Baltimore and I Can Hear The Bells so many times for auditions.
Yeah you can guess my dream role.
Somehow I think she'd make a great Mrs. Lovett. Not sure why I just do
Ava you have just made my day! Mrs Lovett is such a huge dream role for me!!
Ava Hendricks I kinda see Madame Thenardier...
~:~
Amy Lovatt Arent you MrsLovatt?
Her look and her name?
Not going to lie I thought that too.
Why "The World Was Wide Enough"?! WHY? ;-;
It was 10 Duel Commandments...
Live Love & Draw they're actually to seperate songs
Why not?
YOUR HAIR IS SO PRETTY 💕💕💕
Aww thank you so much Amanda you sweetie! x
i went into an audition, i sang On My Own, and not ONE of the EIGHT people on the casting team knew what the song was or what the musical was. Not ONE person knew what it was when i told them what i was going to sing. I couldn't believe it.
WOW, even before I first saw Les Mis I had heard On My Own (not sure where, but I definitely recognised it when I first saw the movie). Did you tell them it was the musical "I Dreamed a Dream" was from?
EH?!?!?! That's insane!
WibblyWobblyTimeyWimey no i didn't. I walked in and slated my name, and they asked what i was singing and i said "On My Own" and they asked what it was from and i was like "Les Misérables" sorta in disbelief and they were all like "hmm, never heard of it" i couldn't believe it !! So i just sang and thanked them and left in disbelief lol.
Jesus Christ....
Wtf
So my school is doing Les Mis next year, I really would love to play Fantine so I'm preparing myself now even though the audition is 7 months away. I've decided on I dreamed a dream (because in my school, we have to choose two songs for auditions, one from the show and something else) and burn from Hamilton (because Burn is another, yet different song that is powerful but filled with emotion0
Awesome! I wish you luck! ^_^
Tayden Overton oh I sang her part!
From les mis
kisabelle04
Tayden Overton That's strange. We were told to never EVER audition with a song from the musical we were auditioning for. We needed 30 seconds of music that wasn't from that show or pop music
Songs not to sing:
Seasons of Love
Defying Gravity
Getting to know You
1. ON.
2. MY.
3. OWN.
Say no to this
blue
Non Stop, Yorktown, 96,000, Mama who bore me, Apex Predator, Stop, Meet the Plastics, Colder by the Minute, Rose's Turn, Santa Fe, Dancing Through Life, I dreamed a dream, Popular, No one mourns the Wicked
ALSO!!!!! Don't sing a song that is meant to be belted in your head voice. A majority of the time it'll be very underwhelming and boring.
VERY VERY VERY VERY TRUE!!!!
Quick question: what is this "head voice"?
Just curious because I love to sing and would like to go into acting/voice work someday and I don't have any musical theater experience >
Flutterbutt225 Head voice is what female opera singers use. You know, the much higher notes?
If you use good technique, you should feel some sort of vibration/sensation in your head when using head voice.
That or you can look up "head voice" on UA-cam/Google lol
Oh, thank you! I might just look it up lol I've been getting on people's cases for not Googling things lately. Nice to talk to someone once in a while, though, you know? :)
I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THE TEN DUEL COMMANDMENTS
Aerospace LlamamalL I KNOW I WAS WAITING
SAME THO HAMILFAM
There are ten things you need to know-
@@sevencats4964 you're mean
PSA if you are a soprano try auditioning with No One Else in Great Comet
Julia Strauss YASSS that WAS EXACTLY what I was thinking! I'm a soprano and I just fell in love with the great comet!
i sing that song to myself like ten times a day it is my JAM my voice is so high that there's barely anything i can sing easily but it's like perfectly in my range i love it
Lol I'm an alto and I can barely hit an f without squeaking
If you're a mezzo you can sing Sonya Alone! That would be awesome!
I sang "It's Quiet Uptown" for a Wizard of Oz audition. I got a callback for the Mayor of Munchkin city,which is surprising
AMAZING! Well done :D
I sang Popular From wicked for wizard of Oz
I'm singing Giants in the Sky from Into the Woods for my Willy Wonka audition in April
Oh amazing! Good luck Anthony!
i'm very late at this comment, but i was Jack in Into the Woods (i'm a girl but its all good). But Giants in the Sky is such a beautiful song to sing. Its also really difficult. I hope you did well!
Juliana Mini OMG I PLAYED JACK TOO!!!! I thought my school was the only one who cast a girl as jack haha
Stephanie Conklin OMG YASSS QUEENNN!!! how was it? giants in the sky was soo difficult for me. but jack was one of the best parts I've ever played#
Juliana Mini I'm an alto- mezzo belter so I actually had a better voice for it than most of the males at my school haha and it was so fun! People didn't even know I was a girl until they saw the playbill haha or I came out and said hi to the audience
Don't sing Sondheim unless it's for Sondheim. Just please.
Tru dat
Broadway 2 Be LMAOOOOO
As a classical singer, I turn to Sondheim all the time (opera companies often do Sondheim). Why shouldn't you audition with Sondheim for shows other than Sondheim shows?
Ashlee Bickley I realize this is like a year late 😂 but most of the time it’s because Sondheim is so hard to follow in the music, and if you miss anything you’re never going to be able to find your place again
You mean I can't sing A Little Priest for the role of Cristine for Phantom?
My favourite video of yours!!
1. I got the too fast one. I know exactly what it was.
2. You missed so many.
3. It's never good when somebody gets up to do Rose's Turn (Patti Style or not)
4. I like your face.
K bye.
Haha thanks Pal!! Maybe we should do a video with the ones I missed?!?!
Peter Macfarlane I.
@@AmyLovatt1 was the fast song Guns And Ships? (also lol I'm a year late)
Lmao i assumed it was ‘getting married today’ from company
was the fast song Guns and Ships?
Something that not many judges expect is a Comedic song. So something like, "On My Phone." From Forbidden Brodway, is something they won't expect, most times it's actually Really funny. It'll definitely make the judge remember you.
I sang For Forever from Dear Evan Hansen at my schools talent show, was that a good choice? (btw i won)
YES!!! Such a good choice! That song is gorgeous and well done for winning!!!!
I would've done if i could tell her or anybody have a map. But that's actually not too great cuz theres too many people doing it.
Gloria González López that is such a tough song too! congratulations!

...Yeah!
I literally grew up listening to Sondheim because my dad is a huge Sondhead and turned me into one as well. So I can confirm it is possible to learn to sing Sondheim from a CD but only if you've been listening to it basically since you came out of the womb. Also, another reason Sondheim songs don't make for great audition songs is that you don't know how well the pianist will be able to play them. The only two Sondheim songs I can think of that are fairly safe to audition with are Anyone Can Whistle and I Remember.
haha I sang on my own for a Broadway camp audition
kill me
jorj washingmachine well did ya get the role?
fangirl cupcake I got into Broadway camp so that's good
BANG BANG YOURE DEAD BANG BANG YOURE DEAD
This really fits your profile picture.
@@duckislord7187 he is looooooord
Once was tossing the idea of singing "Everything's Alright" from Jesus Christ Superstar for an audition, but decided against auditioning entirely due to schedule conflicts. Only to find out that the director actually really enjoys hearing people sing that song and it may have actually gone over well... darn.
Aww noooo! Sending you the best of luck for your next audition though! x
Thank you
As soon as I turn 17 I'm auditioning for Heathers because it's my fave and I could totally pull off a jd 💣🔫🚬
I feel like I'll be a great Veronica tbh 😂😉
I've always wanted to play Heather McNamara
I have callbacks for Veronica and all the Heathers coming up.
Black Knight 1022 i think id be a good veronica
I would be Veronica cuz I can match her notes really well
3:40 is funny because as an Alto 2 those notes are easily in my range.
Laurel Crown same lol
Me too lmao
lol I'm a soprano 1 and those notes are also in my range
I don't even know what I am and I can sing them
Laurel Crown same lol, well I'm technically a soprano but I can hit them pretty comfortably.
"bring on the men" from Jekyll and Hyde is always a good one for a sasay popular girl.
Ahhhh yes I LOVE that song!
@@AmyLovatt1Same I love Jekyll and Hyde it's such a good musical! I listen to it on Halloween sometimes
As a Stage Manager who has been apart of over 50+ auditions. I agree.
Yay! Glad to hear Josh :D
... I understand every word in Hamilton. XD
Jade The Leafbreon me too!
me to
Jade The Leafbreon same
Jade The Leafbreon you're right XD
Same
Honestly, I have literally found one song that is too high for me. Now, too low for me is a whole different story. So many songs.
Ah a lot of songs are too high for me! I would love to be able to sing some really high stuff!
I would love to be able to sing low stuff. But we always want what we don't have I suppose.
imveryclueless I also have a very large belt, but I can also go very low. that is why I sing opera. you should give it a try
Rebecca Martin I actually sang a song from an opera for a singing competition. It was Art Is Calling For Me from The Enchantress. I did very well.
Haha, I can’t sing high *or* low
:(
I wanna sing Satisfied, Or You'll be back, I'm so dead XD
I can't hit the notes on Satisfied, and You'll be back talks bout murder
Lunamare MoonStarr Same! I was practicing satisfied for a talent show, and I cant sing about murder at school.
I'm pretty sure they'd actually let that slide in school because it's historically accurate and they probably wouldn't mind because they teach that _in_ history. (Murder and shit)
TwentyOnePilotsDanAndPhil PATDAndMelanieMartinez
SAME THOSE ARE MY FAVORITES FROM HAMILTON RIP ;~;
Satisfied also has multiple parts. But you'll be back is great. I swear get a friend and do a duet and then sing Farmer Refuted
I see Hamilton,I click.
You're a smart person!
Have you seen my Hamilton playlist??
catastrosphic kittiez I see Animal Jam icon, I cringe
Sæm
catastrosphic kittiez || same
is it ok to sing dear Theodosia for an audition?
Suuuuuuch a good song!
Jenna Momenna I did and landed the lead
If it is a duet audition. Since there is an Aaron Burr part and an Alexander Hamilton part.
But it is an amazing song in general
Jenna Momenna yeah because it's not too hard to pick one person's part
IS IT WEIRD THAT I WANNA SING
'WHO LIVES WHO DIES WHO TELLS YOUR STORY'
OR LIKE
'BREATHE'
O R L I K E
'MICHEAL IN THE BATHROOM'
K BYE
Eliza and Peggy Schuyler all amazing songs, but stay away from them during auditions!
I started to laugh because am doing Hairspray the Musical and the Boys had to Sing "It takes too" and the my where very Bad and I said to my friend next to me the my should not use this song for the audition 😂
Two*
La Soto we did Hairspray The Musical at School and the boys had to sing It Take Two this year!
I'm so glad you didn't use Blow Us All Away for number 7...
Same tho
I auditioned with I Speak Six Languages from Spelling Bee (mainly because most the singers in the musical aren’t stylistic, so I have tons of room to play around with the notes), and it got me a musical voice acting role for a series that airs in the summer of 2018! The whole character part of this video is definitely true. No one ever really got anywhere trying to put on a character they didn't quite care for.
Loved this comment so much!! I used to always sing I Speak Six Languages for auditions and it got me into 2 drama schools!
Amy Lovatt It seems like a song that wouldn’t be very effective with an audition, but it’s the opposite, and it surprises me every time lmao
I DO THAT TOO! I even got marcy when I actually auditioned for the show
But seriously if you can do Guns and Ships on your own very well, do it! (Also that cushion being so close to the lit candle is making me anxious 😆)

WE RENDEZVOUS WITH ROCHAMBEAU, CONSOLIDATE THEIR GIFTS (I think that's the lyrics???)
If it’s needed. Rapping for a musical theatre audition isn’t recommended because you aren’t singing properly, you’re using sing-speak and it isn’t really good for a musical audition
Another tip: (I’ve cast shows and been cast myself so I know the struggle is real) don’t sing a top 40 song in a musical theatre style. It doesn’t wash
I sang Adele for my scholarship audition and somehow got it? Everyone is sharing their story and I wanted to say something ignore me.
Well done! I'm glad you shared it!!!
I haven't had the chance to do an audition but if I did I would sing hallelujah
OOOOOOOh I love that song! x
King Cold yea so would i
no it's so annoying
i mean like overdone
King Cold I like that song
Singing too low is a huge problem for me!!! I have a really high voice so most songs are too low! So I struggled with most songs. -_- is Like I auditioned for James and the giant peach in 6th grade and the opening song was too low for me so I was like "oh it's been years maybe my voice is deeper." Nope. Search it up. Yeah. But hey at least I can sing Galinda's part in no one mourns the wicked (from the show wicked)!
Not all of it but parts
Sp-boop I deal with that do. It sucks.
My audition song is going to be Freeze Your Brain, and I'm just going to go for it, I probs. won't get the part tho, I am a girl and it is a male part.
I'm gonna try singing Waving Through A Window cause why not? I'm a girl but I don't care.
Yes!!!! Sing what you want to sing and smash it!!!!!
When our school was doing auditions for Les Miserables, someone auditioned with Blue. They are now legendary.
Your PFP is fabulous
Omg I really love your accent!
Aww thanks Isabelle!
I always try to keep a variety in my rep.
It Normally boils down to Being Alive from Company. Feed Me from Little Shop Of Horrors and Javet's Soliloquy or Stars because they're probably the least used audition songs from les mis.
Ah great songs! I am seriously obsessed with Javerts Suicide... pure beauty!
I just got finished doing little shop! I was the puppeteer of the largest Audrey Two :)
Was anyone waiting for the Hamilton on 10 XD
Fun tip.. Don't sing One Day More from Les Mis at auditions unless you are in a group 😂😂
If I was to audition I would have to cross out these panic songs:
This is gospel
LA Devotee
Victorious
possibly Girls/Girls/Boys
Death Of a Bachelor
and the chorus of Ballad of Mona Lisa
I would LOVE to sing Panic for an audition!!!!
Lol, today I did my audition and I haven't heard back yet, I sung The Ballad Of Mona Lisa to the best of my ability!😊
Me:basically everything cause beeobo has higher vocal range than 13 year old girl
i sang girls/girls/boys for an audition & i got the part!
I lOVE HAIRSPRAY-
It bothers me when people claim to be musical theatre geeks, but their knowledge is limited to Heathers, Hamilton, Be More Chill, and other modern musicals. They've probably never even heard of Miss Saigon, or A Chorus Line, or Sweeney Todd. There's nothing wrong with those musicals, but people need to know about other musicals that paved the way before they call themselves a theatre kid.
Here here!!!
Evan G. I don't necessarily disagree but at the same time let people like what they like dude stop being a snob
Fyyg Fuhvdd I don't have a problem with them liking those musicals. I clearly stated that in my comment. In fact, I like all of those musicals too. What I DO have a problem with is them calling themselves theatre kids when they hardly know any musicals besides the ones popular today.
Evan G. Evan G. There's a reason why those musicals are popular. They're genius! You're not superior to people who call themselves theatre geeks, but like a lot of newer stuff. Hamilton is my favorite musical because it's genius. It wasn't my first musical at all.
Just because something's older doesn't mean it's better or more superior. A theatre kid is a kid who obsesses or even just likes theatre. You sound like a snob when you say things and it can hurt people's feelings.
You don't have to know every Broadway show to know your stuff. I like Miss Saigon and Sweeney Todd, but I've honestly never heard of A Chorus. But, I bet it's very superior, right?
Truuuuue
I'm so upset because my school has this huge auditorium yet they don't do musicals or plays. I'm only in eighth grade so at least I have other chances in high school, but my old middle school didn't even have an auditorium and we put on this AMAZING musical
A Human Person Named Catherine i relate
Maybe try and join a local amatuer dramatic society x
I spotted heathers on the video thang 😂
Cewfee toot thumbnail* 😂
Please dont sing certain Avenue Q songs, please...
Darn, I guess my Everyone's A Little Bit Racist audition didn't go so well, huh :(
(this is a joke. someone is probably going to take me seriously on this i stg)
Unless it's a fine, fine line that's pretty pg
Just stay away from that unless it’s for a raunchy comedy
for number ten, my high school theatre director said to not sing songs from new shows because most likely only one person has had that role so if they've heard that song then they've heard just that one version and when they hear that song they will only be able to imagine that one specific sound
Amy: Don't sing songs that are too fast for you.
Me: *I'MTAKINGTHISHORSEBYTHEREIGHNSMAKINGREDCOATSREDDERWITHBLOODSTAINS!*
Amy, from Company: hold my veil
and for people in my school’s drama program: DONT SING BOTH PARTS OF DEAR THEODOSIA WTF
Hahahahahaha!!!!!
I know this is kinda unrelated but I love whenever you bug your eyes out, it's hilarious and adorable.
Hahahahah thanks!?
*Insert a thumbs up here*
Me @ an audition: Hi my name is Helena and I’ll be singing It’s Quiet Uptown from Hamilton.
Everyone else: Ok.
piano intro starts
Me: There are moments that the words don’t- *rapidly starts sobbing*
*cries for an hour*
O h n o
I hate when that just

Guilty of #1
Morgan White did you get the role?
fangirl cupcake well I used it for show choir auditions and I did get in!
Morgan White CONGRATS
Morgan White I too am guilty of #1. I auditioned for my school play in 8th Grade which was Willy Wonka. I got Mrs Gloop :P
Heh.... I'm guilty too. I used the song to get into an advanced drama class and it worked!
Are you really a theatre kid if you’ve never made an audition song mistake? My audition for Alice in Wonderland Jr. was Reflection from Mulan... it was acapella... I got an unnamed flower lmao
can someone help me
im into what people call basic/normie musicals, specifically heathers.
snobs keep calling me a "fake fan" which gets under my skin, and i really want to branch out to other lesser known musicals, i've tried listening to stuff like ragtime, newsies, rent, and chicago but i'm not a big fan of them. people calling me a fake fan isn't the only reason why i want to get into other musicals, i want a musical to fall back on and obsess over if and when my heathers addiction ends. the book of mormon is pretty good, but it's not something i'll be addicted to like i was with hamilton and heathers. and that's the type of musical im looking for. even tho when the full cast recording of mean girls comes out, i'll probably obsess over that for a few months.
thank u for your time
Have you tried Be More Chill? I'm assuming you have since you've heard of Heathers and Hamilton, but if you're looking to get interested in a new musical, try that one!
omg this is the only video i've seen of yours so far and i loveee you!! lol not to be weird.😂 you're just so spunky and passionate about theatre♥️
Aww thank you heheheh! xx
For my 2nd ever audition but 1st time singing infront of someone I did lifeboat from heathers- since it was the only song i knew the best (and also i wasn't planning on actually singing till it was almost my turn-- ((the company i do theatre with is v understanding so it would've been okay if i didn't sing)) and i was so nervous, they let me bring my best friend in and she held my hand. i probably did so bad from my nerves and i know literally nothing about singing 😂 but the musical director and everyone let me know how proud they were of me which was super sweet 💕
This makes me so happy! I'm so glad you are in such a lovely company and they looked after you when you were nervous! That's awesome :D
Amy Lovatt I am too ! 💕 we just finished the first weekends of the show i auditioned for and it was so amazing 💕
One of my friends sang on my own for a talent show when she was in 7th grade and won it then sang it at our school
Buddy, that's completely different...
Platinum Pastel She means if your doing theatre. Like, actually In public.
Freshmen year of high school I sung empty chairs at empty tables and I started a note or two early and I mean I still got a part in the wizard of oz but I mean wtf was I doing
"Don't sing songs that are too fast for you."
*oooHHHH THERES A PLACE I KNOW THAT'S TUCKED AWAY*
oof a place where u and I could stay
I auditioned with candy store for king George in Hamilton, got the part to.
Bob Hoffmam how?? They aren't in schools yet
Bob Hoffmam there’s not fair use though?
They either A: Doing it in another country where they can’t get copyrighted or B: Lying :/ Bc if you are; just stop. That’s not ok.
no you didn’t lol
*gets to fast part *
*_G U N S A N D S H I P S_*
*cries *
i have no idea what song from heathers to sing for school talent show, maybe seventeen but change poker to games and definetley not big fun?
Fight For Me!!! It's beautiful!!!!
Amy Lovatt i'm planning to use that song to audition for my school musical!
Natalie&Samantha Lehto my friends and I were going to do freeze your brain and one of my friends even learned the piano part (which is very difficult and took her two weeks) and a few days before the teacher running it decided that it was a metaphor for drugs and wasn't allowed (we changed the cocaine part) and we emailed the principal and she said the song was fine but we still weren't allowed to sing it and we didn't have time to learn another one.
Meant To Be Yours?
Discorded UA-camr that's literally about JD trying to blow up the gym
We did Hamilton in my school and auditioned with my best friends for Jefferson, Burr and Madison, we sung Washington on your side
When auditioning it’s really good to use a song from an older musical something the people you will be auditioning for will appreciate and yes show off what you have but go for something simple but compliments your voice
This is definitely useful, yep.
