What it's really like auditioning for Broadway shows

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy this vlog. I take you on an inside peek of the life of a musical theatre performer. In this video I auditioned for The Outsiders and The Great Gatsby! I also show sides of my day jobs and other fun and realistic NYC moments.

In Ireland doing "the" hustle seeing casting agents and seeing amazing plays presented by the Dublin Theater Festival. Going for my dream, making my own miracles. Thanks for continuing to inspire, Miss. Mel!

Thank you for taking us along a week of auditioning and being transparent about your experience. I live in NYC and my goal is to see at least one Broadway show (or off Broadway) per month, and I can't wait to see you perform. I started this goal in July when I saw The Wiz, but I already missed August. My September show will be Hell's Kitchen.

Love your vlogs. I’ve been to NYC twice this year (I live in the UK) and each time I thought of you and your stories. I saw Gatsby and loved it - you’d be great! ❤

It’s so funny how you said that Cabaret is one of your dream shows, bc for some reason I saw you and immediately got Sally Bowles vibes. But anyways, thanks for making these types of videos, as someone who wants to be a Broadway actor, it’s so helpful to hear what it’s actually like auditioning in NYC while working a full time job. Keep chasing your dream‼️

You are fierce and have such a strong work ethic! Are the articles you wrote for the new Starbucks and CFA beverages available online?

3:38 What made you define the combination as masculine? Were the movements sharp and crisp rather than slower, flowing lines?

Is it worth still getting your Equity Card if you don't have an agent yet? I had planned to get mine in November-December so I can be ready for the audition season in the new year, but if you don't have an agent--does that kinda lessen your chances?

What is the writing work that you do? Are you employed by a company? Do you freelance? How did you find the position?, etc.
