  • In a follow up to last week's vid covering overdone audition songs, this week we're discussing the WORST audition songs! In this vid, you'll find categories & guidelines in what to look out for in your audition pieces- plus some real life examples!
    QOTD: what's the worst audition song you're ever used? Comment it down below!
    Also, please keep in mind that these are just my opinions and the opinions of casting directors I've worked with. If you LOVE a song and you know that you'll book with it-- even if it fits into one of these categories-- go for it! This video is just a guideline to help you make future decisions. Every audition situation is different, apply the info in the vid as applicable. :)
    Just because Dear Evan Hansen, Hamilton, Wicked, Book of Mormon, Mean Girls, etc. are in the thumbnail does NOT mean that they are off limits or bad shows. In fact, I mentioned a bunch of show I love in the vid. These are just specific examples within the context of this video that I would recommend against. :) If
    you are someone who would realistically be able to play a missionary in Book of Mormon, BOM is a GREAT place to find material. And that applies to every show I mentioned.
    If you're new to my channel, HI! I'm Katherine and I put out a new theatre related video on every #TheatreThursday plus bonus uploads throughout the week! My videos cover a variety of topics include musical theatre / acting advice, theatre actor lifestyle, performance reviews, and general broadway geekery. Additionally, I make usual CZcamsr videos, but with a slight theatre-y twist.

The casting directors didn't hear it, but my *amazing* friend turned towards them and said, "NO, AVA, DOING DRAG DOES *NOT* COUNT AS MUSICAL THEATRE EXPERIENCE! TOO BAD FOR YOU, AMATEUR!" 😐😑😶

      Me too! Our high-school teacher directing the musical made it a requirement to either sing the Happy Birthday song or the Star Spangled Banner, because she wanted to know each actor's range. Not being American, I chose Happy Birthday. I started too high and kept plowing through, because I was too nervous to stop and ask to start again. I barely hit the high note, got a soprano part. Great fun none the less.

    Id like to say: "If you can own the song you choice to perform, like in really nail it - Then use it!" Meaning that you can use the simpliest or most overdone run of the mill song like A Castle In the Cloud or Memory IF, but only IF you really can own that song to the point where the auditioners fail into tears of joy.
    But if you do not perform the run of the mill kind of songs to perfection then do not use them or rather use songs that fits the above list instead. Johan.

    QOTD: I sang “Roxie” from Chicago when I was 12 or 13 for my school musical. It was awful but some how I got the lead in the show 🤷‍♀️
    Edit: the show was Annie 🤦‍♀️

    At my first musical audition, i was auditioning for Annie and I sang “I don’t need anything but you” from Annie. So I sang a DUET as a solo and I sang a song from the show I was auditioning for so I broke two audition rules😂

      I auditioned for Bonnie and Clyde with “I’m Alive” from Next To Normal. Didn’t get cast. Was this a bad choice?

    My worst audition song was in 5th grade. It was a school play so it wasn’t exactly professional but they told us to choose a song to sing. I sang... Timber by Pitbull. That probably wasn’t the greatest choice for a mermaid in Peter Pan, but hey, I got the part.
