First off, pick audition material that shows off your talent. Polish these pieces so you know them backwards ad forwards. Ask your drama teacher for a good monologue for you or read some plays and cut them yourself. An important thing about an audition is looking and acting professional. Pull your hair out of your face, where solid colored, non-distracting clothing and minimal jewelry. And as for confidence, the more you work on your audition pieces, and the more comfortable you are with them, the more confident you'll be.

You have already done a lot. Truly dedicated "drama geeks" keep auditioning no matter what. Your dedication will be noticed by directors. And do not fret, most directors go unfortunately by seniority. Hang in there, keep auditioning, and your chance to shine will come!

Q: I am pretty actively involved in musical theater and have an audition coming up soon! For my audition, I need 2 sing a song, but the problem is, I am having trouble finding a good song 4 my voice. Does any1 have any song suggestions for an alto girl? (Broadway or Disney songs are preferred most by the directors, but I'm willing 4 other suggestions 2!) Thanks all!!

If you are auditioning for a musical, try to stay away from Disney songs. They are often overdone and are not in the Broadway style directors want. Try some low belty songs like "Aquarius" from the musical Hair and "Money, Money, Money" from the musical Mama Mia! with songs by ABBA.

Hello, I'm Andrea. My life is focused on theatre, choir, and musicals! Ask me anything about auditioning, conquering nerves, songs, monologues, or anything else theatre related. Other hobbies of mine are fashion, literature, poetry, history, and using big words. Feel free to discuss anything with me...even if it's not related.
