Hey there. Ask away whatever you want answered and I'll do my best. Please avoid unconventional capitalization and spelling - it makes the questions harder to read and so I'm less likely to answer.

I am auditioning for a high school production of crazy for you. though i just bought the soundtrack, i am not familiar with it yet. auditions are soon. i need a monologue and a song for a 2 soprano. tips/advice/anything??!
thank you!! (link)

Unless otherwise specified, high school auditions generally require a song and monologue from any show, not the one you're auditioning for. Having been in Crazy For You, there really aren't any monologues since musicals generally lack them. I'd suggest picking a monologue from somewhere else and using it. Make it upbeat and fun since that's the idea of the show.
Most of the songs from the show should work for a soprano auditions. Listen to the soundtrack and find one you like.

Ok im aditioning for a school play and everytime a start to say my lines infront of my teacher i get so nervouse, shaky, and i just freeze and/or forget my lines. Can someone please tell me some ways how to calm myself and someways to remember my lines better? thankyou all very much, i rate good! (link)

Mmk. To start, just work on the memorization. Once you have the lines down really well, then start practicing in front of a mirror, and make sure you look AT the mirror, not at the floor or other places. Stare yourself in the face as you say your lines. Once you can do that without stumbling, try it in front of your closest friend, or parents, a sibling, someone who can give you feedback about if you need to slow down, or pronunciate more etc. Once you're ok in front of one or 2 people, try it in front of a larger group, just keep building up the number of people you're talking in front of. If you talk in front of people who are listening to you so they can help you, then it's like having someone judge you for a tryout.
best of luck.

I am doing a play for my school called "guys and Dolls" I really want to try out for the role of Sara (if you know which character is) and she is a lead role. People say I act very good and there a lot of people trying out for the school musical. I am just not that used to not getting a role in a play at all. It happened once and I am making a vow never to not get a role again. And I know thats the way life goes but you know I have a dream and I don't want it to start breaking, especially now, I'm young. Plus my ex-friend is doing the play too and what if I get a role where I have to read dialogue with her? Ya know? Me and my Luck! lol

Well, about your friend/ex friend: you're gonna be ON STAGE playing characters. Forget who it really is, and just see them as another character. If you can, try to look like you're looking at her but really don't look directly at her, like look just over her shoulder or something, it does help you to forget who you're talking to.
Best of luck
