WAAPA Music Theatre Audition
Sun, 19 Nov 2006, 08:22 pmHi all
I'm confused :S I have been preparing for my WAAPA MT audition by 'performing' my songs as if I were in a production of the musicals...one in particular with quite a bit of movement...using a chair etc. My friend told me today, however, that there is an X on the floor which you are supposed to stand on, and that - although you can move slightly - you are primarily to simply sing with expression.
Can anyone clear this up for me - particularly those with first-hand experience - because I am extremely confused...and worried :S
I feel like a bit strange asking this, but I will feel even more strange if I 'perform' my songs at my audition to some very confused auditioners that expect me to stand on an X.
Thanks :)

Well what your friend means
Sun, 19 Nov 2006, 10:42 pmWell what your friend means is..
first off it depends on your song choice...
I mean take the song "she loves me" from She Loves Me...
The song is fast, and has movement, but that doesnt mean that I have heaps of movement in it.
I will stand on the spot,
and convey the emotion through hand movements expression and some movement, but not walking across the room etc...its a bit excessive..You can use a chair to sit on, then stand up etc...but dont do like a full dance routine or anything like that...just relax and sing and do your best...:D
they mainly wanna hear if you can sing, and convey the message of the text....
What songs you doing?
My auditions coming up....should be interesting lol
