Best audition rule: Don’t do what Rachel Berry does

Hi I will be auditioning for the role of JD’s mom from Heathers, I will be singing Waving Through A Window from Dear Evan Hansen

I sang lifeboat from Heathers for Frozen and got Olaf. 😂

Hello, hi, I am auditioning for the role of Elphaba, and I will be singing It Ain't Easy Being Green by Kermit the Frog.

hi i'm gonna be auditioning for annie today and i'm singing dead girl walking from heathers🤦‍♀️

I sang Dancing Queen auditioning for Eponine and I got it!!!

Hi, I will be auditioning for Elsa from Frozen and I will be singing burn from Hamilton.

You really remind me of Zoella .... like a theatre fanatic type 😂😂

When people say "oh, sing a song you know really really well", all I can think of is how Rachel followed that advice in Glee and bombed her drama school audition because of it.

Hi I'll be auditioning for Michael from be more chill and I'll be singing blue from Heather's the musical

I sang think of me and defying gravity for a musical audience, got the part🎉 Johanna from Sweeney Todd 😍 😍 😍

Can you do a video on specific songs you wouldn’t recommend for an audition? Live overrated songs maybe? Xxx

Hi I will be auditioning for Javert from Les Mis and I will be singing more than survive from be more chill

5:06 The phrase "know like the back of your hand" comes from the old way people used to learn to read music. It was called solmization (similar but not exactly the same as the modern version of solmization) and one of the ways people remembered it was by visualising the notes on the palm or the back of their hand. Thus the phrase evolved, as you had to "know the back of your hand" very well to read music fluenty.

I failed an audition for my college production of Legally Blonde because my drama teacher told us all to sing 'Omigod you guys' and it's not in my vocal range, he basically set some of us up to fail.

I have been bingeing this channel so much recently! Love you Georgie

I sang popular for my audition of heather chandler and ended up getting Veronica 😂

Just found your channel and loving it! Thanks for this video :) :) Really helpful!

Thoroughly enjoyed this!! Maybe you could say about not using the most popular/overused songs as casting directors hear them a lot so you want to stand out a bit too by singing something different...? I’ve made one of these mistakes before; made too many cuts to a song and soon regretted it once in the room😂🤦🏼‍♀️

You’re just the best KZfaqr , this channel is SO helpful💗💗

Hi Georgie! Love #5 tip. Much agreed :) I always recommend that as well and try to make sure I follow that rule myself too when auditioning. Love following your channel. I haven't had the opportunity to work on the West End yet so your channel is really informative for me here in the States. Thanks again!

On the same subject don't forget to research what your song is about and prepare a basic summary of the plot in case you're asked! Totally embarassed myself before at an audition when I was asked the plot of the show and my mind just went blank!

Thank You so much for this video! I was literally researching audition songs for drama school as you uploaded this, its helped so much! 💜💜

Hi Lovely video as alwayssss! I would love a video on how u have set out ur rep as in what folder/book you have used and best way to give ur sheet music to the pianist! Would be very useful for my drama school auditions xxx

A great approach to this video in (spoiler), not highlighting individual songs. Very useful and continuing to love your content :)

I'm so glad you didn't outright say "don't sing ___ song" because I am SICK of hearing people say "dOn'T sInG AnYthInG fRoM WickED" LITERALLY WICKED IS THE FIRST MUSICAL I EVER SAW, IT'S THE ONE MUSICAL I KNOW ENTIRELY BY HEART, AND ELPHABA IS PERFECTLY WITHIN MY CASTING TYPE. I DON'T MAKE THE RULES OK I JUST KNOW MY RANGE AND I KNOW WHAT I WANT. Having said that I am working on expanding my rep book to other stuff too, but if I'm ever really stuck, The Wizard And I might just end up being a life saver for me! THANK YOU for offering solid advice without belittling people's taste in musicals! It's ok to like something that's "overdone"!

I’m loving this channel ❤️ your soo amazing xx

I love watching your videos. This was so helpful thank you as I’m reauditioning for my musical theatre group as you have to re audition each year so this has really helped 💕

great advice

İ sang white christmas at my audition for Annie

hi! i'm auditioning for a musical theatre group at ny school but i don't know what song to sing. i'm thirteen, and a mezzo soprano / alto ( i'm not sure but i do have a larger vocal range in the lower keys, and can go as high as a E5 any suggestions? my audition's on wednesday and i really wanna get in but it's going to be super competitive ...

jason robert brown to stop writing beautiful songs with hard music challenge

Was at an audition and two people in my group sang two different Jason Robert Brown songs, long ones at that too - my heart just went out to the poor pianist! Pianist was fantastic and managed fine, but there were several parts where they did simplify the accompaniment, which I guess is another reason for not picking something to difficult as it’s more likely that your accompaniment won’t sound like it did when you were practicing! (I guess that’s just a general audition note though because I’ve had an audition before where I’ve had an easy piece and the pianist then jazzed it up a little when they were playing which threw me a bit - just know your songs well enough that if the accompaniment isn’t what you’re expecting, you’ll still be fine!)

I am auditioning for Matilda the musical the teen ensemble and i can sing alto and soprano and idk what to sing

What do you think of auditioning with Wishing you were somehow here again from phantom? Is the break near the end too long?

I’m auditioning for honors drama at my school and I’m singing if that’s what it is from 13

i doubt you will see this but i have a bit of a problem, im going for elle in a small production of legally blonde however they have given us the songs they want us to sing for it and i can only sing in the high notes on a good day, any tips? love your channel btw really helped me out recently xx

Hi I am just wandering if their are any shows or musicals that I could audition for as I have been in school of rock and jophese and goodnight Mr tom and I have been in the assemble but I am wanting to push myself to sing solo or say lines. Many thanks jack

Do you think it’s ok if you sing a song that isn’t usually sung from a current musical? There’s always those 3 or 4 songs everyone goes to, but there’s a bunch that get looked over in the process. What do you think??

I sang one song glory from rent for an audition for a gentleman’s guide to love and Murder which is not genre appropriate or my casting type. Ah the mistakes you make when you’re first starting out.

What age did you audition for drama school?

I just found your channel and I love it! I’m not even a musical theatre actress (I’m an acting student), I just love your channel xx

what about songs with swearing in? what’s your thoughts on that?

3:23 OMG is it Darren Criss' voice ?!?! I love it hahahahaha When I saw him singing this song 2 years ago I was like.... Omg this can't be real hahaha

Hi!!! I'm new to musicals but my highschool is directing Urinetown and I would like to audition for Penelope pennywise. But I don't know what songs to sing that will showcase that c6, any suggestions??

What kind of songs do you take to an audition? Is it just musical songs or can you sing like pop songs? (I’ve never done an audition before and would like to know for future me!)

When I was younger (child) I went to a panto audition and they gave us each a section of the song How Far I'll go. Me not being a massive fan of disney hadn't heard the song and I messed up the timings because I didn't know it. I asked everyone who got the part if they had known the song and they did! Still get frustrated at that today!

I’m going to a summer school experience day at emil dale academy, we have to bring a song. I’m at a loss of what to sing?! I’m a low mezzo-sop ( I belt better lower) any recommendations??

Hey so I was wondering would a song from the sound of music be a good fit for an audition

I'm a girl and I'm going to audition for the part of Oliver from oliver twist and GOD I dont know what to sing Edit: I got the part of bill Sykes in the end lol I'm happy

starts at 1:10

I'm auditioning for a 9 to 14 theatre group to do 33 shows and its puss in boots and I have no idea what to sing I have a low ish voice, any ideas?

Hi I know you work on west end have you ever considered working on a musical tour?

I have an audition coming up for this musical I also auditioned for last year but was giving a reserved position. In the audition we sing a song and try and pick up some choreography. So atm I am trying to pick the song I am going to sing. I’m tied between Legally blonde (the song) which is more a build up song that would showcase my voice nicely or So much better (from legally blonde) which I could showcase how enthusiastic I could be. So please give me advice one what one to pick or if I should try any other songs?💖💖

I know this may be personal but is the west end a good job not just fun but does it get you good money and always have jobs or is it like sometimes you get a job but sometimes you may not have jobs for like years

Is satisfied from Hamilton a good song for an audition for a good college such as Julliard or should I pick a different song? 💓✨

One song I could really connect to is good kid from the lightning thief the musical, and I’ve always wanted to play him. But my next audition is for the lightning thief the musical lol so idk it’s definitely not a good idea to sing a sing from the musical they said to do whatever so I’m not under to much pressure I doubt they care I might do the Aaron burr part of dear theidosia, or don’t let me go shreck. I’m trying to audition for Grover and dear theidosia is kinda like tree on the hill and I guess don’t let me go it’s kinda like drive. I’ve already practiced this much for this musical I already bought a script before I even knew about this audition so I already know this by heart

I actually got to see you as Christine Daaé!!!

The song FROM NOW ON from the Greatest Showman would be a good pick for me. I already sang it a few times (once in front of some friends as well who liked my performance of it), so I know the song very well concerning rhythm, melody, etc. I know the emotions of the song very well and also the character who sings it and the song matches my vocal range. And it is not a current West End song

Should you always sing a song from a musical when auditioning for one? I'm starting out my musical theatre career hopefully

Interesting. X

Hello! I am auditioning for Mrs Honey from Matilda The Musical and l will be singing He- had it coming! From Chicago! 🤣

I’m auditioning for ensemble in Highschool musical the musical It’s my first show PLEASE HELP

I'm auditioning for shrek the musical to play dragon what should I sing??

Why is it bad to sing a song from the musical I auditioning for ? I know you shouldn’t but why not ? Like if I need to convince them that I could be Evan hansen way not sing waving or words fail or for forever?

My favorite thing I've ever done is sing good morning balrime at a KRISTIN CHENOWETH BROADWAY CAMP audition 💀💀💀

Do you recommend any dramatic monologues for auditions cause I am really struggling...

I'd also stay clear of the warhorse songs that have been overdone throughout the years. They probably have heard them already that day- so you're being compared directly- and have probably heard them enough to last a lifetime.

How do I decide my casting type in a song?

Hello, I would like to audition for Christine Daae and I will be singing Guns and Ships from Hamilton for you ✌️😂 weirdly enough, the harder songs are the ones that I usually nail, even if I'm nervous. Like, I will 1000% nail "wishing you were somehow here again" or "think of me" but I will easily fail at easier songs 😂

I’m saying I might get the audition because of you so please can you

Should I audition with a song from Anastasia like in my dreams?

U might love our comedy song "It's All About Me"

I have a question! I've been told to only sing Sondheim when I audition for a Sondheim show. So does the pianist rule still apply there?

This is my homework for performing arts college

If a song is ‘written’ in another accent say American do you sing it in that accent or your own accent? *assuming the show doesn’t require an accent*

This is such a helpful video, thank you. I love your channel x insta kate_hegan
