Tip: DOn't use a song with multiple people singing it confuses the casting director and they're trying to figure out why you're having a conversation with yourself

Tip #1 ~ 1:44 -- wear something different
Tip #2 ~ 2:53 -- go comedic

Guess who’s playing Rapunzel’s understudy in a professional production of Into The Woods? I’m so freaking excited!!!

Kat: “And if you’re not prepping for an audition, why is that?”
Me: “I... I do crew...”

We are doing 2 plays for the start of the year; we've got back the casting list and I'm one of the main roles! I didn't really want a big character since I was waiting for my shot in Matilda the musical. I really want to be Matilda, I think I have the potential since I've had been in various solos that my drama teacher has assigned. I really hope these tips work! Thank you in advance. :)

Edit: I GOT MATILDA! It’s been a while since I’ve made this but I actually got the role of MATILDA!

Katherine: It drives me crazy when people don't do the homework

Me: *haves flashbacks to when I seemed like the only one who practiced the required audition song*

[hailiemackay]

Kat: **wears something other than blush and/or white**
Me: **faints, revives, and goes to Forever 21 to get a similar shirt**

[sophia.scott_]

Who else is loving the new camera angle???

[iszvrje]

I’m auditioning for the queen of hearts with “I want it now” from Willy wonka. Wish me luck 🙏

I've made a number of short films. I've sat through alot of castings for them. I loved your advice. One thing I would add (why would you not have a resume???) Is to include unique traits and abilities on the resume. I know that everyone doesn't read the resume, but why take the chance? Sometimes the casting process is just so fast and robotic - but I have gotten into conversations with people about the resume. If they can... wiggle ears, speak Klingon, moonwalk, etc... It will show more of their personalities, makes people memorable, may give you something to bond over.. When you're trying to decide and you think a couple of people are roughly equal to the role, something that makes you stand out can make all the difference. Could be your bold choice in clothes, could be that you had skills that made people laugh. Just a thought. 🤔

First we take over Broadway, then the world, then the UNIVERSE?! (Also Kat, did you hear about the Prom turning into a Netflix movie coming next year and the cast list came out today!)

The be prepared one is super important. At my audition I was the only one who had memorized my monologue and got all of the feelings behind it (they had ones you could use there). And when they asked me to repeat different parts in different voices I knew which parts suited the princess voice, the war general voice, and the valley girl voice. And you know what happened? I got a callback, and got casted as one of the main characters. Prepare kids!

My next audition is for High School Musical: The Musical as Ryan Evans

[mars]

My next audition is TOMORROW and it’s for “Annie Jr.”

[b..-.]

I auditioned for my school musical but didnt get in, not even in the chorus 😪
What frustrates me is that a girl who never went to audition got a lead role

[conniebuhl]

End of summer I’ll be going for Chip in Beauty and the Beast.







Totally didn’t pause a Mean Girls bootleg to watch this 😉

[helenmendez]

I am just practicing the acting material so after Corona, I will be prepared. My dad really wants me to accomplish my dreams of being an actress!

[ccjoyxtra]

I have an audition August 1st for Nickelodeon, Netflix, Disney and Acting Agencies/Agents. Thank you for this😄
