i stink
i really love acting and drama but i'm definitely not a good singer. i actually want to have some career in theater. i just need to know: do ALL auditions require you to sing? or do some just have you act? dont say you should take singing lessons because i dont believe its possible for you to sing better if you naturally are bad.

Want to answer more questions in the Hobbies category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
The simple answer is for straight theatre (no singing)-no, for musicals-yes.

hi. lol, no you don't have to sing to act. If you try out of something like Chicago or Grease then yeah, you have to sing. But don't worry, if you really love acting and the theater you can be a great actor/actress and never have to sing or do a play (or movie or commercial in the future) with singing in it. If you're great at acting then you're good to go.

Dear "Stinky"
I was quite the theatric in my day, but alas, I cannot sing either. I was able to get roles in musicals and non-singing plays. For a musical, you will have to sing, but you might not be as bad as you think. If you really are bad at singing, then there are always non-singing roles in musicals and regular plays

If you are auditioning for something other than musical theater, chances are they won't have you sing.
But if you are auditioning for musical theater, you definately need to sing well.

It really depends what form of acting you wish to be involved in.
If you want to be in musicals then yes you will need to be able to sing and dance. However, if you wish to act alone, there are a load of shows at the theatre or in amateur dramatics groups where you won't be required to sing.
For example, if you were acting in Shakesperian plays, you wouldn't need to sing or in most theatre plays there are no singing roles. The Importance of Being Earnest, The Woman In Black etc etc.
Just make sure you keep an eye open for any auditions along these lines and you should be fine. You should also be able to phone up and ask if there is any singing required in auditions before you attend them. Failing all this, see if you can rope someone into paying for you to have singing lessons!
Good luck!

It depends what you try out for, if its not a musical, obviously you wont have to sing, if you want to try out for a musicle, but just as an "extra" or something, talk to the producers of the show.
