I have an audition for a school musical on Wed. I'm really scared. What should I do???

Okay, well, first off, if you're nervous, you're most likely to mess up and nobody wants to do that--so be cool about it.

First off:

Do you know who you wanna audition for? Have you gotten in the character's shoes and points of view in the play? If they're suppost to cry or stand up for what they believe, would you play that part well? If your answer is "YES" than good job, but practice doesn't hurt and you may wanna practice speech in the mirror and around the house. Hell! Even try youtube (youtube.com) people on there give full advice, don't lie, and rate so you know what they think of you acting.

Second:

Do you have a monolouge and song to perform when auditioning? Make sure you're comfortable with it and ask family, friends, family friends, and neighbors to come over tomorrow night and watch you practice so that way you get their opinions, because they matter, believe it or not. The director is looking to WOW! the audience--are you capible of giving him that WOW! plus 110%?

Third:

Have you had any experince? Any acting classes? Have you ever given a speech? Are you shy, outgoing, or just open to your friends and YOUR friends only? If the 1st or 3rd one, try offering to read that paper that's due in LA tomorrow or talking more to the WHOLE* class a lot in front of them to build up confidence.

Don't worry, just try not to get your hopes up too high, but if you PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! you'll most likely get a part. REMEMBER: If nervous, you'll most likely mess up, you don't wanna do that, so be chill and relax...it'll make you feel a lot better.

Oh! And when you're auditioning, don't stare at the back wall or at an empty seat pretending your grandma is there--Make eye contact with the director and any other possible people who are in the room when you're auditioning---eye contact is the key to a good play and once making eye contact with the audience--they'll feel more connected to the play/musical.

Ahh, yes, I've seemed to forget that this is a musical. Do you have a piano or guitar at home? Anything that you can practice your scale with? If not, just do wacky tongue twisters and breathing teqniques.

Okay, tips BEFORE auditions:

-When mom says, "drink your milk!" on Wednesday morning, don't. DON'T DRINK MILK ON THE DAY OF THE AUDITIONS! Milk clogs your throat basically and it makes your singing voice hoarse.

-Do breathing excersises before going to bed tomorrow night, Wednesday morning, and before the auditions.

-Breath! Don't hold your breath in--we all do it!

If you don't get in, well, then you know to practice. Try signing up for costume design or make up. You'll still get a look at acting and theatre from back there.

Remember, you're the best, you can do this--you're better than any actress out there and you're capible of doing what any other chicka out there can do and more! You are superman on the Earth's last day, you are the best...you can do this and you have this play in the palm of your hands! You, my friend, are better than anyone out there.

Until next time (LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DO!)

Best of luck to you and your auditions,

Angel.

All you can do is your best. You'll either make it, or you won't. But you'll never have the chance if you don't try!!
If you don't get in? Your life will continue pretty much the same as it's going now. You won't have to worry about all those extra rehearsals, costumes, line learning, song learning, and all the other things that take up so much time and effort and energy when you're appearing onstage.

Of course, you'll also be disappointed and may think you could have done better. This, too, shall pass. You'll get over it, you'll grow, you'll improve your acting and singing skills, you'll audition again, and eventually you will get "in."

That said, the way to do your best is to be sure of yourself. Get a good night's rest the previous night, eat decent meals the day of the audition, get a little exercise (a brisk walk around the school buildings should do it) just before going in to auditioon, and be as easy to work with as you know how. (No director in his or her right mind wants a difficult performer to work with, after all.) Be considerate and polite and even kind. Smile. Be friendly. Everyone else is at least as nervous as you are. Helping them calm down will also help you calm down because it will take your focus off yourself. Funny how that works.

Enjoy yourself and everyone else. Have a good time at the audition.
Just make sure you are 110% confident with your song. It may sound stupid, but practicing what you're going to say to the director or whover is auditioning you beforehand. Knowing what you're going to say before going into the room is really helpful in keeping you focused and calm before you start singing your audition. In the world of theater, sometimes you will get in, and sometimes you won't. Don't worry about not getting in until after your audition is over. Just put your best foot forward, practice your song, stay healthy, and relax. Good Luck!
ok this is what i was told to do for an audition

1) smile no matter wat keep ur composer dot let them know ur nervous or if u mess up

2) wear something nice but not overly nice ex. Do Not wear t-shirt and jeans DO wear jeans and a nicer shirt

3)have a song that is short sweet and has a range

hope this helps break a leg =)
Don't worry about it too much. Just remember to breath. Do your best and I'm sure you'll be okay. If for some reason you don't get cast, then sign up to work on costumes, set, or make up. It'll be fun and you'll learn a lot more about theater than you can by only performing.
No matter what you do, try not to be nervous. If you're more confident, you'll do a better job. You own this! Don't worry, just go out there and show them what you can do.
