Q: I really like to act and the auditions for the school play are in december. I do a lot of acting outside of school. I have been acting ever since 1st grade. At the moment I am taking 2 theatre classes. But last year I didn't get into the school play. I was actually crying. I knew I could do it but I didn't. The problem is, I can't sing and the play is always a musical. When I act in front of people it's a peice of cake but when I sing I just can't do it. I really want to be in this play! Any advice? I'll rate a 5 if the advice is helpful.
I have to admit this: it SUCKS that the only play your school does all year long is a musical. I'd try and get them to add at least ONE non-musical play.

But for this situation, I think you should tell the director or casting person at some point that you are really, really passionate about being part of the production, and just want to be a part of it. Also, go ahead an audition for one of the singing parts, but tell them you'd like to be considered for any part in the play. If they see that your acting is really good, they won't 'waste' you.

thanx so much!
