Yesterday I tried out for a musical and for the first time in an audition I had to sing. Well I was nervous because before people have told me I sing bad. But this time I sang "fabulous" from hsm 2 (I know it's a bad song, but it's the only one I could remember!) and the my friends told me I was amazing and one told me I sounded like ashley tisdale. I think maybe this was because I was onstage and I could be as loud as I want, because usually when I sang I was afraid others would hear me so I sang soft and high. Well this weird thing happens to me when I get onstage, like I don't care what anyone thinks. But one thing I really really want to do is to vibratto in my voice. You know how your voice vibrates at the end of a note. I'm so jelous of girls who it comes naturally for! This little girl can do it so good. Is theere any way I can learn?
Here are a few websites you can use to learn about the technique.

Vibrato is a slight constant change in the vocal tone. Do not change the tone too much; you will go out of tune and be off key. And that's one of the worst things a singer can do.

Well at school I used thsi program called Microsoft pulisher or something like that to make a Brochure for this project.
It's due on monday so i e-mailed it to myself so i can finish it thsi weekend and print it off to hand in on time on Monday.
Now when i tried to open it, it wont' let me because i don't have the program. I tried opening it with every single program of photoshop or anything i could!
That program had like designs already made for me!
I could work on it at school but you have to pay 5 cents a page and there's no colour (you're marked on colour).
Is there anyway i could open it up, or does anythign know anywhere else, a site perhaps that I could use to make a brochure on the computer??
I could draw it by hand but there' some very important pictures I need to include and well, I'm not an artist.
I could use a word program maybe, and divide the page but i don't know the measurements to properly divide the page into 3 parts!
This is 30% of my GRADE!
Well, you really do need the program to open it. If you're willing to remake it slightly differently, there is a good website you can use to make brochures, and you do it all online.

We've used this in school many times and it works pretty well. You can't change colors for each design, however. But other than that, it works great.

15/f sophmore
I'm thinking of joining one of the school plays or musicals. I have hardly any acting experience but I can sing very well and i think if I really tried I would have the potential to be a good actor. My dream has always been to play a lead role in a show. Do you honestly think this is possible for an inexperienced sophmore to work their way up and eventually get a lead? Do you think it's worth the hard work and dedication?
This can certainly happen; I have many friends that have done so. If you can sing, dance, act, and do whatever else the part requires, it is possible you will get the role. It is certainly worth it if you are cut out for the job. Also, even if you get an ensemble part the first year, don't give up hope. Be enthusiastic and do your job well, and your director will see that. Next year, you may get a bigger part, and the next year, you'll be a senior and perhaps get an even bigger part.
Unfortunately, yes, you do have to work your way up the "food chain," and seniors are more likely to get a main part. But that is not always the case.
So, good luck, have fun with it, and don't be disapointed. Even as an ensemble member you will learn more techniques and have tons of fun. And no matter what, you're the star of your own broadway show.

Dear Katie Hmmbmm: colon.
I have auditions soon for our school musical, The Pajama Game. It seems like a fun show, and i can't wait to do it. We have a great theater program with great kids. We have a choice of which songs to sing. Should i sing I'm Not at All in Love or Hernando's Hideaway
First, think: What song do you like the best? I personally like "I'm Not At All In Love" better. When you love a song more than another, you will most likely be more passionate, and therefore do much better. Make sure you check with your director to see if there is a song he would rather you sing. If there is a certain part you wish to try out for, you may need to sing a certain song to be eligible.
So ask your director, hopefully he will give you an answer that makes sense to you, and above all, do what you think is best, based on which song you like best and what part you may want to go out for.
Good luck in the auditions!
