Tips on nailing a broadway audition

Hi everyone even though we are in the middle of a broadway shut down and there are no auditions going on and broadway has gone completely dark. The lights will eventually light up again and the music and tunes will be enjoyed on stage again. This is an intermission not the end of the show. The last show I saw before this went down was mean girls. I enjoyed it despite the rainy day it was almost a year ago. I had planned to see mean girls again with the new cast members and wanted to get tickets to jagged little pill. I had no idea that broadway was about to shut down or ill see it so dark. Here are some tips on nailing an audition whether its broadway or any other show. I hope you like these tips if you plan on auditioning.

!) Take some broadway workshops-You learn things by going to class for instance your writing skills improve when you take an English class. Find some broadway workshops and take at least 8 workshops. You will learn from them and they will help you with the knowledge you need in studying the notes from things such as the music sheet. They will help you get some exercises such as improv and getting into character.https://www.broadwayworkshop.com/ where you can find some great workshops and they are online during the COVID 19 pandemic.

2) If you the musical is based on a movie or show watch it !-If the musical or show you are auditioning for was based on a movie or even has a book or if it was something that was remade go watch it. Go watch the scenes about the character you are auditioning for. For instance, if you were auditioning for cady heron of mean girls go watch a lot of cady scenes from the film. Both the characters from the movie or film or book will share similarities with the new version. If I were to audition for any character in the mean girls musical ill probably go for Gretchen. I shared similar traits in grade school except I didn't bully others. 

3) Movement- Remember 3 keys about a musical the characters arent just singing or moving around on stage. There is movement and that movement goes along with the sound. 3 Keyes on stage movement-sound and emotion. All 3 keys are tied together emotion-movement-sound. Remember as you going along with the sound and emotion. When directors and the makers are looking at the audition they are looking for those key points I speak from experience.!

4) Don't be nervous-I know how it's hard I've been there but try to be your self and not the nervousness get to you. The feeling of being nervous is what causes most auditions to down the toilet. Just be your self and be the character as your auditioning for the part.

5)Study music sheets-There are a big part in especially if you are auditioning for a musical.

I hope you enjoyed and if you do audition for a part for any show I love to hear your comments xoxo-Stephanie

Can a guy and a girl really be friends?

Two people meet each other and they are the opposite gender a man and a woman. Whether it's at a coffee shop or at a school or just being in public. They like each other and eventually become friends to exchanging glances to eventually numbers. The kindness and happy passionate feeling of a new friendship between the two individuals. This new friendship can a guy and a girl be just friends or something more? I think it's very hard for a guy and a girl to be just ''friends'. Its human nature the bond between 2 individuals of the opposite gender. They are cases where a guy and a girl can be just friends. If they don't have much in common or understand each other in all levels of love. People who usually fall in love understand each other on all levels. They don't just talk like regular friends or even try to understand each other. They don't need to act like they can't say something or they will offend the other person. They feel like aside from the feeling of cloud nine that's the one person who truly understands them and they can be with them on a deep level. Some people who just met eventually go from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend once they spent a good amount of time with each other. From days to months too late-night conversations those people usually fall in love slowly and all at once. Then they are friendships with benefits that include more than friendship and also have hot sex as well with no emotional attachments though that rarely works. In the majority of those cases, one or both usually gets heartbroken or falling in love. Having sex can bring all sorts of crazy emotions and attachments as well. In the end, it usually depends on the case 90 percent in the time, in my opinion, a guy and a girl cant be friends without either some crazy emotions in the way or even falling in love. When people do fall in love it usually deep feelings of understanding one another completely and threw that builds trust and commitment. I wanna know do you think a guy and a girl can be just friends'' I love to hear your comments.
