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!! (link)

I recently auditioned for a play. I am an alto as well. There is a wonderful broadway style song called Altos Lamente. It is a wonderful audition piece and may be just what you are looking for.

My friend's favorite thing to do was always acting, and she always wanted to make it big time. She recently tried out for a broadway show, but didn't think she'd get a part. It turned out that she did get a part, and a good one too! The thing is, she got so nervous about going into fame and all that, that she's not really sure she wants to do it anymore. I mean it's her dream to be famous and all, but she's just kinda nervous about it. I know that if she turns down the offer she'll regret if for life. What can I say to her to remind her of the good things in fame? Also, what are the advantages and disadvantages of being famous? (link)

In my opinion, it doesnt sound like her heart is in it. It sounds more like she is so caught up in being famous, that she has lost touch with the dream of being on Broadway. Obviously she has talent. She needs to use it to her advantage, and quit worrying about being famous. Very few Broadway players become famous. Sure there are a few,Idina Mendez for example. But it took a major motion picture for her to get national recognition. I would tell her that if her heart is not in it for the show, and the magical feeling a person gets when on stage, then she should not pursue. There is more to acting than fame. It is a passion, all of its own.

I was with my girlfriend for 2 years when she got pregnant. It wasn't a planned pregnancy but we decided that we would deal with it. The first week that she brought that baby home things were good. We got a little apartment and I was working full time during the day and she would work a couple hours at night just until I could support us with only my job. Well one day I got home from work and she was gone. She left a note saying that she wasn't ready for a child and that she's leaving our daughter with me. It's been a week since then. I've been doing the best I can but I don't know the first thing about being a parent and I have no one to ask about it. I grew up in foster homes my whole life. I love my little girl to death but I just don't know what to do anymore. She doesn't stop crying. I've tried feeding her, changing her, rocking her, everything that I can think and she keeps crying. I brought her to the doctor and he said that there is nothing physically wrong wtih her. I don't know what to do. If anyone has idea of what could be causing this please let me know. I would also appreciate it if any one knows anything about taking care of a 3 week old baby. Please help me.

Hi Jack. I am very sorry about your situation. I am a single mother to an 8 month old girl. There are a few things that may help you. First, go tothrough the basics.
*is she hungry?
*does she need changed?
*does she want to be walked around?
*is she just bored?
*try changing her position
*try putting something new in front of her
*take her for a short car ride
*give her a warm bath
*change her clothes into something lighter/heavier (depending on the weather)
*feel her tummy. if it feels hard, try mylicon.
*try talking to her
*has she slept recently? if not she may be over tired.
If none of this help, she may just want to cry. sometimes babies just get frustrated, and dont really need anything. There is nothing wrong with letting her cry if you have gone through everything, and she needs nothing. I would reccomend trying to find a support group for young or single parents in your area. Also, I would reccomend investing in a parenting book. I have read four of them, and have found that the best one for me was "what to expect: the first year" It will tell you everything from how to hold her to when to take her to the doctor. I wish you the best of luck with your daughter. Parenting can be a beautiful thing. Just keep your head up, and be the best influence on your daughter that you can.
