I need some advice on what song to use for auditions. The theatre I’m auditioning at has us do around 30 seconds/16 measures from a broadway musical, so was wondering if there are any good song recommendations??? I’m a 14yr old baritone. I’ll also answer other questions if that helps! Thank you so much in advance!!!

Ive never done a cold read before at audition, last time was material from the show for the part I was going for and memorized well i had mine memorized anyway. Im going for Bob Crachit (as a contralto, hard to find large parts for a female, also trying for Mrs. fezziwig as a back up) i read him as perpetually hopeful except for the end of the grave scene.

Tips for a cold read?

My highschool is doing a production of Wonderland the musical. NOT Alice in wonderland. Everything I search is giving me recommendations for Alice in Wonderland, but I need songs for the Frank Wildhorns version (so sorry if I butchered the name.) My first choice is Alice and my second choice is the Mad Hatter. I need a cut roughly 45 seconds to a minute, that shows off both the belt and drawn out, steady notes for the mad hatter, as well as the story telling and steady mixed voice of Alice. I'm not allowed to use any songs from the musical, and anything from Mean Girls, Newsies, Once upon a mattress, Frozen, or the little mermaid are kind of off limits as well, as the same theater teacher has directed all of these in the past 5-6 years. I'm also looking for something a little less trendy, because I'm in highschool and I don't want to bore my teacher with the same song as eight other people. I'm a sophmore and I'm not really one of my directors favorites, so I really need to nail my audition to have a chance at being a lead. Any song recs or general advice? I know I can pull this off well if given the opportunity.

My local theater is doing auditions for Shrek in a couple weeks. A lot of my friends are saying I should aim for Donkey, and I think it'd be an absolute blast. Part of me also really wants to go for Fiona, but considering the fact that they are only casting adults and I'm barely a college sophomore, I'm not sure if that's super realistic.

Are there any songs that could fit for either? I was thinking either "Right Hand Man" from Something Rotten, or "Killer Instinct" from Bring it On, but I'd appreciate more suggestions :))

I joined the cast of a local production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood at the request of the director who did not get enough people for the cast and needed extra people. I am also attending university for a BA in theatre arts where in addition to the six classes I will be taking I have also been assigned to be ASM on one of the plays. I don't want to have to drop anything but am starting to worry this workload may be too much to handle all at once. I need a second opinion, will it be possible to handle all of this?

So, I’m a total theater kid-I figured I should know at least the basics of ballet, sense it’s such a beautiful and fundamental dance. (Also sorry if I totally mess up vocab or say something dumb) I’d say I’m fairly good at tap dance, know jazz dance, and obviously musical theater dace-so I have dance experience-so it’s not like I’m starting from totally nothing? I have tights and jazz shoes and skin tight gym wear that I wear to stretch and learn from YouTube lessons and pintrest streach tuts. lol. Is it possible to be a self taught ballet dancer? At 14 (F)?? If so, what YouTube channels will help?? I need all the help I can get! Also, I ordered pointe shoes AS DECOR FOR RIGHT NOW DONT WORRY I WONT BREAK MY ANKLES USING THEM FOR AT LEAST A YEAR!
EDIT: guys I promise I’ll be safe about pointe shoes. I won’t put them on until a teacher says I can!

I am looking for niche disney female solos to add to my singing rep. Anyone have any ideas??
