I like fairies (thus why I am wearing fairy wings in the picture). Good grammar rocks, too. It doesn't have to be perfect but I get frustrated when people completely disregard it. I like every color except pink. I hate the wind. Sometimes, I carry around a little teddy bear I found at an antique store. His name is Robert. I dress very eccentrically. It's not unusual for me to wear a prairie dress one day and a Mod dress (think Austin powers) the next. I don't dye my hair, or wear much make-up. I think it's sad that no one puts any emphasis on natural beauty anymore. I think it's a good thing to be open and educated about sex and other issues that are considered taboo. I have a hard time seeing where homophobics are coming from.

Basically, I'm just some weird teenager in Arizona. If I haven't scared you off already, feel free to drop me a line. -Danielle

I'm 13 and about to audition for a musical. We're supposed to prepare a song and a monologue. I've gone through an array of broadway songs. Finally, I listened to "Wishing You Were Somehow Hear Again" from the Phantom of the Opera. It's beautiful! But before I get the sheet music, I need to know; is it a difficult piece? Vocally demanding? I'm in a very advanced chorus, which means that I can sing a lot, but there's no real way of telling whether this song is too overreaching or not just by listening, you know? If anyone has had any experience with this piece, could I have a few tips?

And PLEASE do not say "go see a vocal teacher/go take a voice lesson/idk lol hope i helped." Even though I'm in an advanced chorus, I can't afford a voice lesson. I know that puts me at a disadvantage, but that's JUST LIFE.

If it's for a musical, I wouldn't suggest something from phantom. Not only does it not quite fit but almost no 13 year olds can successfully pull off phantom because their voices aren't mature enough yet, no matter how advanced- but that's just my opinion. I'd say try something from south pacific, meet me in st. louis, guys and dolls, or maybe even fiddler on the roof. these are really general suggestions since I don't know what musical you are auditioning for, but you can always shoot me a message with more specifics. also, a good website is livejournal.com/audition_help. good luck!

Good point. I'll check out the sheet music at the library, see if my voice is mature enough (it probably is, but I'm not sure). If not, I'll just look around for more songs. But just not from meet me in St. Louis. I hate that movie!
