[apoemtothedead]

Too ugly to get the job. Don't bother.

[anamericangod]

So you've never auditioned for anything? Is this a straight up musical, or a play with musical parts?

[airik625]

blow the judge beforehand (if it's a guy)

[resrchmnkygrl6]

Aww. How sweet.




Uhm. Tips? Ehhhh. Be yourself?
Haha. Sorry, I'm no help. I don't do drama. "/
Good luck, though!

My advice is not to have lame excuses to talk to someone. You're a cute girl, if you have a good personality you shouldn't need any excuses. Good luck though.

To take a third page out of the cliche AP reply book, you two should probably kill yourselves. She's clearly not ugly by any stretch, and even if she were, you guys weren't even funny about it. You were just being dicks. Real cool.

From my experience with choir in college, I would do some kind of vocal warm up. Do a scale or something. If you could also run through the song(s) once before auditioning (assuming you know what they are already), that would be excellent as well.

I've done some commercial acting and modeling. Gay. Go ahead reem it out.


But anyways, at a few conventions I've been to they taught you to learn to put excitement and feeling into your auditions by practicing them while shoving someone if its an audition with a monologue of anger, doing pushups or jumping up and down while doing a monologue or dialogue of matter of fact statements, spinning around in circles while doing a comedic monologue, or other retarded fucking activities such as that.

Perform your audition in front of a group of friends first.

Don't try to retain any social status while doing it. (Don't worry about looking cool in front of people while reciting a shakespearean drama.)

Think about your actions and what to do prior to the actual audition. During the audition think about nothing.

If your audition is a monologue directed to one person, speak to the judges only. If it aimed toward a crowd speak mainly to the judges but also keep in mind there is a crowd around them. If it is a dialogue, when making specific points or factual information look out at the crowd(judge). If you want the person you are speaking to in a dialogue to know something speak directly to them, ignore the crowd.

There's some other shit, but I'm bored now.

[imperfectstarx]

Usually when I went to audition for things, I just pretend I'm by myself practicing so I dont get too nervous. Might sound dumb, but it works.

Nope I've never auditioned and I'd say it's a play with musical parts.

Well at least you can act.

I went through a lot of auditions in high school and college and here is what I can tell you:

1) Don't sing a song or perform a monologue from the play you are auditioning for. That being said, pick a song that has a similar musical style to that of the musical you are going out for.
2) Make sure you pick a song in your vocal range. If you are straining to hit a note...you need a new song.
3) Make sure you read the entire play before hand and pick what character you would like to play. If it is a serious character...pick a serious song/monologue.
4) And practice. No matter how many auditions I had...I was always nervous. So don't worry about being nervous. Just go up there with confidence and you will nail it.

Also avoid soda and dairy the day of your audition. If your throat hurts or is not lose: Hot water + lemon juice + a little bit of honey + plus a little bit of Jack Daniels. Will loosen your throat right up. You can do it without the Jack...especially if you are only 17.

[meliisssaaaa]

just relax and tell yourself it'll be over before you know it. and be yourself.

I know making scathing comments about complete strangers is kind of your thing, but you've really outdone yourself this time.

very sound advice!

i would also suggest not singing songs from very well known musicals, namely les miserables.

i really don't know a lot of the technical stuff, but i know a couple tips for right before shows and stuff. having friends that are hardcore theater kids sort of rubs off on you. plus i've been doing set design/construction and props for a really long time now. if you have any problems with that kind of stuff, i can always help!

[Faustus]

Pick a song that suits your voice and shows your range. Remember, the song you like may not necessarily be the one that fits your voice.

Don't try to be fake. Be energetic and enthusiastic, but not fake. Judges/directors can always see through that.

[DeliriumTrigDC]

Let us know how you do!

[llwilliamsll]

first make sure you're not getting yourself into a pron audition, because we all know how those start out...or maybe just me
second lots of whiskey and cigarettes, helps the vocal chords
thirdly have fun with it, practice before hand, take care of those vocals
fourthly probably just take the third advice

Also, make sure to stay up 24 hours before you audition. Trust me, this helps.

Also, take up smoking.

Also, anal the judges.
