audition for a musical

I would love to be in a musical but not as a lead my family say I can’t sing and when ever I open my mouth to sing they say things like stop singing it sounds like cat dying…when I know it doesn’t because day after day I sing..I hate it when you build your confidence up about something you enjoy and the people you love bring you down every little bit at a time until you totally give up on things but this I will never give up on I hate my nose because of the shape and size and loads of people take the mick out of it and I get really upset because of it..I’m only 15 and I have really big aspireations (not sure if that is the right spelling)

In high school I begged and begged my choir director and the drama director to put on a musical. They never did do it:P haha.

Then when I was attending college before I REALLY wanted to audition, but I was too shy….I didn’t think I’d be good enough. I’m certainly not the greatest actor.

However, I’m sure if I practiced enough I would do just fine!

So, I am not going to let this become one of those things that I WISH I had done for the next 20 years:P I am going to do it and make it one of the things I am SO GLAD that I DID.

Soooo, let’s hope I find an awesome musical to audition for this year!

I never audition for musical’s because I’m so scared of that type of audition process. I’ve never had any drama training, never learned belt technique, and I have limited dance background… but I know that if I do it it’ll allow me to let go of a lot of things I think about myself, not just within the world of music.

i want to audition for something larger than your local theatre group
but how?
ive had plenty amateur experience at playing lead roles and want to take it a little further
but nothings pointing me in the right direction

And even though next year, we’re not meant to have one, we think we can get our new theater teacher to put one on.

Too bad I’m too much of a chicken to audition for anyone. Well, that, and I can’t dance. At all.

Oh, but I NEED to prove to myself that I can audition, and audition WELL. I am a darn good singer, and I will not suck up the audition no matter how badly I (don’t) dance.

But if only the musical was Evita or something, in which there is minimal dancing… hmm. Evita.

that’s a song from the musical entitled “Avenue Q”
and it says much about how i want to audition for a musical.

i dont have any musicals in mind,
but whatever. i WANT TO BE IN A MUSICAL.
i sing well. i act well. i dance well.
i have had past experiences in this career.
and college just took me away from everything.
from my dreams of becoming a broadway star,
just because everyone in school was way better than me.
i hate it.

now,
i gather up my courage again,
to walk up to that room for the auditions
of that musical.
whatever musical, i dont care.
i just want to be on stage.
be back in the spotlight,
singing, acting, dancing.

it’s just not fair that i was blessed with these talents
and all the opportunities just doesn’t want to knock on my door.
wtf. i need to be in that musical.

Although it was only a high school musical, auditioning helped me get over my fear of public singing, and I made it in. Just believe you can do it, and you will.

Ok, so I have seen Dreamgirls twice. That is fun! I don’t think there is a part in that one for me, but maybe beyonce!

Nah, I’m more looking for the leading man role, Suave, debonair… Sky Masterson etc.

Fun

After three nights of madness, I’m finished with the audition process for Thoroughly Modern Millie. I didn’t get called back to audition for one of the lead parts – but there were only 3 or 4 for girls, and 82 people showed up for the auditions, so I’m hoping for a chorus part or a small speaking roll. Whatever the case is, the judges started laughing during my humorous monologue, so I was pretty pleased with myself for that. I really enjoyed this – even though it was a lot of work, it was totally worth it!
