Auditions

I just have to rave for a moment about all the great auditions we saw last night- we had 37 people and we still have a night to go! It's so interesting to me what people chose to audition with- some people sing Broadway, some country, some rock...although traditionally you would chose a Broadway song for a musical theatre audition, I don't require it- your song choice tells me a lot about you!
We had people sing in trios (with guitar!), duets and solo auditions. We also had a brand new auditionee who sang Bring Him Home fro Les Mis and brought the house down! I always say- just don't bore me! Tonight we have some 'epic' auditions that will be happening- some of my students have created full audition pieces with sound support, costumes, casts, etc. I love when people get creative with their auditions (although no, it won't help you get cast!). It shows me that you're willing to go out on a limb and take a chance- and that's an actor I want to work with!!
