    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

    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.

      @xx_lily_xx1691 Před 7 lety +84

      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.

      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.

  • @megankarow2328
    @megankarow2328 Před 7 lety +1202

    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.

    • @sophiamurray3440
      @sophiamurray3440 Před 7 lety +65

      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.

    @nyq4217 Před 7 lety +201

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.

      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.

      @notveryiconic_username5854 Před 6 lety +39

      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?

    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!

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)!

    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

    Here's a tip: No matter how good you sound singing Michael in the Bathroom, Burn, or Lifeboat in character, don't try to get too in character. If you're auditioning for Into The Woods and you want to play the witch, try not to do everything that the character does, try not to sound too evil. If you're auditioning for Next To Normal and you want to play Gabe, don't try swinging around on poles like how Aaron did it at the 2010 Tonys. It'll be too obvious that you want the role.

    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.
