I personally also wouldn't suggest singing songs that make you cry intensely for auditions, mostly because I know that some people(myself included) "ugly cry" and that would probably make it a bit weird to sit through(considering that you're kind of just sitting there trying to sing and?? You're just crying a lot) plus the fact that when you "ugly cry" you tend to have difficulty breathing and that would really just screw things up quite a bit.

[@Missbreads]

the “on my own” bit😂😭

[@catherineguillot4870]

These were the (types of) songs: Duet songs Songs with a big dance break Songs that are sung by a whole ensemble Overly sexual songs Songs with a long musical break Songs that you need props for Songs that talk about your age (only if your not the same age as the age mentioned in the song/the age of the character) so basically only sing age appropriate songs Songs with lots of key changes

[@jamesdrrr]

i cant wait to see focus on me the musical

[@AmyLovatt1]

me too - it's going to be a smash hit

[@hollandfray4521]

So my high school did Heather’s my senior year and I originally tried out for Heather Chandler, got a callback for Veronica. During the callbacks our director wanted to hear us sing one a song sung by our character, obliviously I chose Dead Girl Walking. Not really the type of girl that would feel comfortable with normally singing that song, but I made myself do it and I owned it! Literally when I finished both my chorus director and drama teacher just sat there stunned. I thought it was because I was so bad, they told me they never expected me to pick that song just because of the type of person I was. I got the role too!

[@anjirhiannon2912]

Damn have I been subscribed for two years already?! That was the video that made me a fan!!! For 2. I once knew someone who auditioned Anything Goes and did the huge tap dance, for a drama course 😭😭😭 My go-to audition song is 'I'm not Afraid of Anything', it's so vague in terms of character because there isn't really one to begin with and it's a song you can really turn to your favour because the song is almost completely based on interpretation, it's also a good song to show different types of acting styles AND vocal ability :)

[@croissantqueen4415]

Me and my friend both agree that "Lifeboat" is the best audition song from Heathers. Its is short, but just long enough, it has you sing low, as well as high, and it is crazy easy to remember the lyrics and cues. It is absolutely perfect, and I am using it for my next audition after the pandemic, whenever that may be

Amy, do you think I would be able to sing seventeen at an audition coming up in the future? I know there are two people, but I think I could easily sing it with one, but was worries my is the little bit near the end when they stop singing and it’s just music(and they are meant to be kissing), should I do this or just give it up? I just think Heathers is such a good soundtrack so sing to it’s really in my vocal range!

[@notveryiconic_username5854]

an unfortunate reader I would not do Heathers, in my opinion. Although I do not see Heathers as a fake musical, some casting directors will. If you’re looking for something like Heathers that you can sing by yourself, may I recommend a song sort of in that range? It’s called,”killer instinct,” and it’s from Bring it On.

[@acourtofbooksandpages2286]

NotVeryIconic_ Username thanks for the advice!

[@madelinewright5218]

NotVeryIconic_ Username why would they think that???

[@notveryiconic_username5854]

Madeline Wright It’s a common belief that Heathers is,”too modern, basic, etc.” Plus, it’s been done within the last 5 years. I’m not one of those who believe it’s a basic musical, I’m just saying casting directors have weird standards.

[@CarolineForbesAndTaylorSwift]

[@lonelyforestfae]

Amy I need your advice! I have a but if a problem. For the fall there are two shows to auction for. One musical(25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) and one play(12 Angry Jurures.. basically 13 Angry Men). I want to auditim for the play because it's for my school but the musical is something I know a lot of freinds would do and it just sounds more fun. You technically can do both but just not if you have a lead in the musical. It would be hard for me especially during school and if I have to memorize lines for either. Both have rehersals close to home and everything I just don't know if I can do both or can even handle both, even if I want to.

[@myra7011]

I’m not Amy but I’ve been in similar positions before where I’ve had to choose between the high and the one at my community theatre and I’d say it’s better to commit yourself to one than try to do both and stress over it. I think you’ll feel better if you can put your whole heart and energy into just one, whichever one you think you’ll enjoy more.
