Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
dont just stand and talk or sing, act with your hands and your expressions, sing a song from the show if your allowed to choose. when you sing dont just stand there walk around and again use your hands. good luck.
p.s. im an expert on this ;-)

hey! well for the singing part just do your very best. you obviously know you can sing, or you wouldnt be trying out. but for the talking part just be sure to make your things that your saying VERY animated and theatrical like. xoxo helpachick good luck!

depends what kind of show it is. my directors LOVE comedy and anything funny in shows so i belted, did my scales, made them laugh the whole time and got a good part. some directors like seriousness so be ready for anything. don't be all tense...it's not worth it. make sure you are loose and have fun with it...no director wants to give a part to the shy girl that looks petrified on stage. for the speaking, read it over slightly while the other person is reading the other lines so its not reading from first sight. good luck! if you need anything else, let me know! <3

If you already have your song, practice in a bathroom where it echoes, and also practice in front of people. When you breathe in, sip like you had a straw in your mouth and almost hold your breath while you sing. As you sip in, keep your shoulders down, and think about breathing into your pelvis, which as bizarre as it may seem, actually does help. Learn the solfege hand signs and use them as you sing on the scale. If you have a piano nearby, hit a middle C (the white key before the set of two black keys located closest to the logo on the piano) and do the hand signs, these really help you to stay on pitch and in the same key. For your singing, but mainly for your speaking, be sure to use diction and enunciate your words, they can make or break you. I wish you the best of luck on your audition, and feel free to ask me a question if you need to. <3
