about

Hi! I'm BroadwayBabe629. As you can see I am a theatre lover. I am highly involved in music and theatre. Those are my areas of specialty. Got a question about either? Ask away! Got a question about something else? I'm always here.

Is "Another Suitcase In Another Hall" from EVITA a good audition song for a 13-year-old girl?

Hi! I adore Evita, especially that song. Think about the show and role you are auditioning for. If you are auditioning for an older person [than your age] this is appropriate. If its a comedy or something younger I would say try something a little more fun. Best of Luck!! Let me know how the audition goes >_^

I signed up for the school talent show. Suddenly today, I learned that it will be held at the assembly. And it's too late to drop out. I have a terrible case of stage fright. I'm singing a song from THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (Wishing You Were...), and it's going to be hard to liven up a beautiful broadway piece next to all the other singers, who are singing stuff like Ice Ice Baby and Alicia Keys. How do I relax?!

Just Breathe. It sounds so trivial, but that's all you can do. You chose the song for a reason. Personally, I adore that song. I use it for auditions all the time. It's a beautiful song and it's emotional. Let yourself enjoy it and just have fun. If you're super super super nervous just get some friends together and ask them if they will listen. You'll get used to a small audience. This sounds really weird, but sometimes I sing when I walk down the hallway. Not like belting it out, but my friends and I will like sing and dance down the hallway [very La Vie Boheme-esk from RENT haha] but, as odd as it sounds, I'm way less self concious. Sing when no one expects it. It actually handles fear really well. Best of Luck!
