The Doctor is out....forever yo...till tommorow-L.M.*
advice
I'm 16 and I'd like to try out for the school musical, but I'm really nervous. what should I do to have a good audition?
I am in love with theater! I could live my life out on stage!! and it's GREAT that you want to particapate in your school play..
SOme things that are DEAD IMPORTANT that will make you stand out are:
#1 Projection- There are going to be rows and rows and rows etc. filled with people with sucky hearing, great hearing, or there might be people who even have to turn their hearing up to 100, ok, and they ALL nead to hear you! If they are sleeping, YOU need to be the one to wake them up and get into the story. If the director ( or who ever is doing your audition) cant hear you, or their clothes dont blow off them ( GOD hope that it wont!) then you wont stand out and have a better chance off not mking it...sorry but yeah..its true!!
#2 Artuculation- Not only do people nead to hear you,but they need UNDERTSAND you. I mean, whats the point of hearing anything if you cant even decipher what is crawling out of your mouth! A good excersize to help you with this is going
"OO-EE-OO-EE-OO-EE..." over and over again. Its ok if you friends think you are a fire engine because they will be able to understand you when you apologise for being on crack or what ever :)..jk
#3 Be the charater!- very very very important thingy. If you cant feel what the character is feeling, then people with fall asleep drooling and then the person that they are drooling on will jump up screaming(!!!!) and every one else's attention will be lifted off of you and then...all is lost :(
#4 facial expressions- Last but no way in hell is it least! If you don't look like youre CRYING, or you dont look HAPPY SAD ANGRY EMBARSSED RETARTED ITCHY NAUSEOUS and so on, then they wont leave like they just saw the BESTEST play ever in the history of life!!
GOOD LUCK!!
