waapa audition HELP!
Thu, 16 Nov 2006, 04:41 amHey,
I am 19 and have spent the last year training at the Conservatorium in classical voice.
However I want to make the change into my true love - musical theatre and hence audition for
a BA of Musical Theatre. However the only advice I can get from my parents etc, is that operetta
and more operatic songs like "I hate men" in the words of my mother "show of my voice". Having
a very high, big soprano voice - can I get away with singing Gilbert and Sullivan? I can sing pure
MT but it tends to be the more operatic romantic lead stuff. Please Help me!
Sing what you enjoy

Sing what you enjoy singing, don't do G&S or anything from the classical opera repertoire. I Hate Men would be a good choice, as would any number of songs from the same era - check out things like The Boyfriend, She Loves Me or even Princess/Baker's Wife stuff in Into The Woods.
Show them that you love performing - be natural and, contrary to the above post, sing the right notes.
Good luck.
