Singing Audition Tips
As a director, I’ve auditioned oodles of actors and singers. And
as a performer, I’ve auditioned for everything from local nightclubs
to professional musical theatre. Here are some tips I’ve gleaned
through the years, which I hope will help those singing talents:
Be In Good Voice. If you haven’t sung in a while, you can’t expect to go into an audition and perform well. Singing every day (or very close to it) is essential for keeping your voice healthy and strong. It’s a great idea to look over the score (if you can find it), or listen to the cast CD, and start singing the songs from the show several weeks ahead of time. (Just realize that what ends up in the particular production that you’re doing may vary considerably from the CD...be flexible!)
If the talents are so sick you have a fever, or can hardly sing, don’t put them (and everyone else!) through an audition. If you just have a cold or allergies, you may decide to audition anyway, especially if it’s for a show you’re dying to be in. You may tell the director ONCE that you are sick...but only once! Don’t tell everyone from the front desk to the pianist. Just tell the director before you sing...ONCE! Don't use your sickness as an excuse...it gets old really fast.
