If I don't get the role on my first audition, I will keep trying to get a role. I will believe in myself and I won't give up. I will make sure my dream comes true.

My tips : 1. Wear something that slightly resembles the person you’re auditioning for. (It helps) 2. When you can pick your schedule for and audition always choose the one after lunch because the Judges are happy because they’ve eaten and in a good mood (picking the last one is not really effective because all the judges wanna go home and they’re tired) 3. Always prepare a second song of a different music genre. Also you need the second song just in case the song you were supposed to sing will be sung by everyone ( Singing a song that a lot of other people are singing would lead to comparison like “oh this person sang it better” or also the judges being like “not this again”) 4. Learn fast because some auditions will make you memorize a song in just a minute and ask you to sing. 5. Even though you’re really nervous and have no idea what to do act like you do. (Fake it till you make it). 6. Arriving on time is late. Always be early. 7. People getting the main roles are usually leaders. So practice your leadership. 8. Have good conduct because even if you’re the best singer or dancer once you act rude it’s game over. Be like someone everyone would want to work with. 9. People can be mean and rude. Always be prepared to be yelled at. 10. For your photo you can edit it to make yourself look nice but don’t edit it too much. Look like yourself. 11. If you can’t reach that high note but you really wanna do that one song, try changing it a bit to fit your vocal range. 12. Do research on the play and the person that you’re auditioning for.

her: have no expectations me: i expect to not get the role

she reminds me of Winona Ryder

I absolutely love this women.

This is good advice not just for auditions but to apply to life in general! With my first audition EVER coming up, it was really helpful. Thanks !

My next audition is in an hour! Pray for me!

I just literally passed an audition by watching this video... ♥️ Thank you!!!

For me, it's really tough to sing in front of people, because I'm scared they might laugh at what I'm doing or something like that and IDK what to do could you please help me?

The thing I struggle with is confidence, and I'm not even considering an audition. I enjoyed the video though! Thank you.

On May 19. I'm going to have a audition. For disney

I'm only 12 right now but in the future when I go to high school I want to be in musicals. My dream job is to be an actress. I'm learning many things from you ♡ Thanks 😊

15 years old and trying to get a "the voice" audition by 16

this woman is literally the embodiment of grace and inner beauty just wow ,you're amazinngg first video and im already so impressed by everything you say ,even your body language and face expressions are one of a kind thank you so much for ,it really did help alot thank you ^^

Madeleine, you're like a kindergarten teacher for adults, the teacher that reaches our inner child and really teaches us. I feel like you don't have a judgemental bone in your body. Thank you!

I might be auditioning on YG Entertainment next year.

Seems like she knows how to sign language! Shes so very animated and great! Thanks for the tips!!!!!!

I have an audition tomorrow thank you so much

You should do a video on how to choose the right song for YOU and your audition.!

thus video is so helpful this In January 2017 I will be auditioning for a performing arts high school

Great advice on not pointing out / highlighting your mistakes. I learned that I do this as a way to say "Hey man... I KNOW that was a mistake - I'm at least good enough to know that it was a mistake". I'm trying to get better.

I was having a little problem lately because people kept staring at me for no apparent reason... With this video I just found out why xD By the way, truth has been spoken! I agree on everything. :3

THANK YOU SO MUCH! you are such a generous person, sharing all knowledge that a person like me need! love youuuuu

THANK YOU SO MUCH. this is going to help me a lot, and I felt so great to be in my own skin, listening to this amazing words of kindness... THANK YOU A LOT, ILYSM. you gained a fan. ❤

Make sure you choose a song that is good for that character. For example if you’re auditioning for Alice don’t sing a belting song. If you can’t figure out what song to do, you can look up songs for that role on the internet. Also if you have the opportunity to read the script, make sure you memorize the long paragraphs because casting directors are more likely to have you read long paragraphs for your first audition.

Can you do a video on how to sing riffs and runs pleeeaaase??

I am hopefully auditioning for Eponine in my school's production of Les Miserables (they haven't announced it yet but they're kinda hinting at it. I'm getting my hopes up lol) but since I'm a lowerclassman I'm looking for ways to stand out in an audition and some of these tips help! Thank you!

I've been with theatre for a few months and I plan to start auditioning for things soon. So, thank you for the help!

That advice you give is so clear, im like omg " THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE" and i always enjoy viewing you videos. You are such a light. Shine on Queen Harvey

This has helped me so much! I'm a student in middle school, and I'm not huge on acting, but I want to be well-rounded. I had no idea how to act, sing, or what people look for in auditions, but this little series has helped me a lot! Thank you!

You're absolutely amazing! Thank you for this really helpful advice❤

Loved this! I have my first performance as a singer tomorrow so your tips were very, very, very helpfull! They made me feel like I don't have to be perfect and live up to expectations. I can just be myself and do what I love to do and that is singing! Thanks a lot for the reminder of that. And you have a new subscriber!

this is the most helpful advice i have ever heard in my entire life . thank you . ❤️

Thank you!! This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Wonderful lesson and insight!

Thank you sooooooooo much i feel so confident about going to my next audition!

Oh Myyyy, I have a vocal coach but she explained it a little more to me..... Great job!

I only started musical theater about 5 months ago at the end of my senior year, and later this month I'm auditioning for my university's theater program. You have been such a help over the past few days haha, keep doing what you're doing, you're amazing!!

I'm 34 and going to do my first audition ever in about 2 hours, thanks for the tips. I've been researching and these tips are very comprehensive, thanks!

i love every line you had said. so applicable

This had a great impact on me. I have always dreaded auditioning, but now I don't feel that dread! Especially when you said to make "friends". I had never considered that before. Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this video!!!

These are amazing tips! Thank you so much! I have an audition on Sunday and it’s only my second formal audition ever, and it’s the first that hasn’t been in front of people I know. So I’m kind of nervous, but this really helped settle down my mind lol. Your videos are amazing! Your other ones are helping improve my singing! All around great channel. Please keep doing what you’re doing

Thank you so much for giving a breakthrough that I have been waiting for. You said to be comfortable with attention. I have never thought about all of this in that context before because I have been trying to figure out what is keeping me from learning and pursuing the career of singing and acting. I just realize I am not comfortable with attention with people looking at me or thinking of the possible thoughts of my performance, when stepping back on stage in years with little experience. So thank so much for your advice and now I can finally have goal to get comfortable with attention that will help me finally to start living my destiny with no fear or insecurities.

Thank you so much for the tips! I love acting! I have auditions later and I can’t wait to see what following your tips will help me accomplish!

I’m auditioning for a play and I was happy because my friend wasn’t auditioning. I love to be with her but I’m hoping for a main part and she’s really good. As soon as I saw her name on the audition list, I looked up how to be good in auditions. This really helped. Thank you!
