Auditions
I'm auditioning for a musical (Throughly Modern Millie) and I have a few questions.
It says my song should be 24-32 bars long. How long in that in minutes/seconds?
Does anyone have any tips for singing? (I can't afford a voice teacher.)
I'm thinking about singing "If you got it, flaunt it" from The Producers. If I do, should I sing it with the accent? (If I don't, I'll sing "What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line".)
Thanks.

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
If the song has to be 24-32 bars long, that really depends on how fast the song's tempo is, what the time signature is, (3/4 time, 4/4 time) etc. But if you are singing in an audition, they will usually tell you when to stop singing.
Before you sing, don't drink milk or eat any dairy products because it's not good for your voice. Have foods with vitamin C in them. Drink tea with honey in it; it will help your throat. Practice vocal warm-ups before your audition; if you have a piano, play a couple of scales to sing to, or get the sheet music for the song you're singing and play piano and sing at the same time, it will help.
If you're singing that song from "The Producers" I don't think you should sing it with the accent, unless you can pull off a really good Swedish accent lol. But, I would recommend you sing the song from "A Chorus Line" instead, so you wouldn't have to worry about the whole accent thing haha. Good luck with your audition. =)
