Hey Outsiders musical fans, I need a monologue for a thing- are there any cool ones y’all know? (Either from the Outsiders play/musical or just from theater stuff in general?)

The Duke of Sussex believes that Prince William and Kate should make the first move toward reconciliation, with a “groveling” apology as the starting point but that just isn’t going to happen...🤣

SONGS FOR AUDITIONS: PLAYLISTS

finding songs that are decent and not absolutely insanely popular for your auditions can be really difficult, so i've taken the liberty of making two playlists with rare-ish/uncommon/less common musical theatre solos; one for male voices and one for female voices <3

take a listen and see what's best, and please @ anyone you think would find this helpful! i want to make sure i span as many songs and musicals as possible, so please name some of your obscure faves in the notes/comments too!!

okay i want to audition for a wizard of oz musical this fall (ensemble auditions) but I've never done theater before. Unless you count that one time in 4th grade we did a black history month play and I was Rosa parks. Theater has always been a passion of mine but I'm not exactly well off and I had no avaliable recourse to start young. I want to know how I should prepare for auditions. I've already searched it up on Google but I need answers from actually theater kids because I'm stressing out a lot. I don't have friends who do theater so yeah. I just want to know like ehat should i expect, how should I dress, etc etc. Sorry for rambling so much

To anyone who sees this and does musical theater...

I need advice... again. this time it's a theater thing for all my musical theater performers out there who wanna help a girl out 😔🙏

🔮 I'm having an internal crisis.

So i've been into musicals for FOREVER and I love singing songs at karaoke and getting into character and stuff whatever THE POINT IS recently i've been considering actually trying out for a musical?? the last time i didn't theater was elementary school if that counts and i've never been apart of a choir so no i can't read sheet music or know what it means sos the closest i've gotten is orchestra. I'm just nervous because i've never done THEATER before and i would have no idea how to prepare and i feel like id make myself look stupid at any auditions if i did; now im here on tumblr again asking for advice!!

🔮 *googles how to get my voice to work*

i don't think i'm a BAD singer but i'm not anything out of this world, i think i'm anywhere from an alto to a mezzo-soprano?? (my most comfortable songs to sing are JD's songs from heathers or ngrom from waitress, i can also sing from like deja vu to 505 if that helps to any music nerds anywhere! thanks) anyway i don't even know my voice range and whether im a good singer; also i think that 99% of the time im singing with my head voice and idk how to belt or sing with chest voice so if anyone has any vocal advice on how to sing better and warmup my voice for stuff like this it'd be greatly appreciated i'm literally clueless when it comes to singing so if you think any piece of advice is stupid and common knowledge it's probably not for me and i'll gladly take it

🔮 fake it til you make it??

I DONT KNOW IF IM A GOOD ACTRESS EITHER UGH i don't really get stage fright bc i do multiple sports/activities that require me being in front of an audience i just don't want to look stupid 😓💔 I can memorize lines and stuff like that it's just the performance aspect in worried about so if anyone has tips on how to scope out my acting ability or how to improve it reach out please i #needthat

🔮 auditions exist... unfortunately

uhm how do auditions work bc i don't wanna embarrass myself if i even decide to go for it bc what if i make a fool of myself and ill have to fall off the face of the earth and no one will be able to see me again? what if i mess up at auditions and they think im terrible? what if i don't mess up and they still think im terrible? it's so scary as a newbie someone please sos

🔮 do i even go for it?

with all these issues and roadblocks do i even try to go for it... i have a friend that does theater and i'm scared they'll judge me if i mention trying out for it 😭 the urge to try theater again (kinda) has been so strong lately and me being watching musicals and singing songs doesn't help! please be brutally honest i need it, toodles!

Getting the casting directors attention

The first step to creating a killer self-tape is getting the casting director’s attention. With so many actors submitting tapes, you need to make sure yours stands out. The best way to do this is by delivering a memorable performance right from the start.

In addition to the 5 Elements To A Killer Self-Tape, here are a few more tips that will help you stand out: One effective way of grabbing their attention is through your slate. Your slate should be confident and charismatic, showing off your personality and unique qualities as an actor. But never over the top. Just friendly and to the point.

Additionally, pay close attention to lighting and sound quality in order to create a professional-looking video that draws in the viewer’s eyes and ears. Proper lighting can help highlight facial expressions while good audio ensures they won’t miss any important details in your performance.

Remember, catching their eye doesn’t necessarily mean going over-the-top with gimmicks or flashy techniques; sometimes simple choices made with boldness can have just as much impact on capturing their attention!

I still can't believe Neil Newbon 1 called my name fancy and 2 completely changed my outlook on acting (I mean it's a process obviously but it's something I'm working at) and now I THINK I can audition for stuff without RSD ruining it

[moxmuffin]
