Auditioning for Musicals
Tue, 21 Oct 2003, 09:00 pmIts been a long ambition of mine to perform in musicals, but only very recently one I have tried to act upon. However, I have no idea where to start. I have recently started singing lessons for the first time in my life, and have discovered that I cover the following musical range - lower C to upper G (over 3 octives

I think auditionees are being asked to sing two contrasting songs, although that may have changed, since I booked my audition before the directors had been chosen.
So for your audition you'll need to sing, and probably read a passage from the script. Even if you don't particularly want a lead, pick one to say you want, just so they can at least decide for themselves whether you can act. The one time I said I just wanted ensemble, I didn't get cast, so I think it's safer to be ambitious. And you can always turn down a lead if you do get it. There may also be a dance audition for this one, but I'm not positive. It might just be for people who say they're dancers.
Most importantly, though, be confident. You don't "think you can sing a bit". You can sing, and you can blow the panel away. Remember that, even if you don't quite believe it. And if you don't think you can act, don't worry. Either can I, yet I repeatedly get cast *g*
