Auditioning for Broadway, My First Kiss, & More | Q+A

LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST plays August 16-19 in Thousand Oaks, California!
ci.ovationtix....
Why is my entire channel turning into "hey mom and dad, please don't watch this"? Because today is also one of those videos.
We're gonna talk about if I would ever audition for broadway, my first kiss, stage kissing, just lots of kissing in general. Also, I'm at rehearsal right now and there are a bunch boys singing acapella right now.
If you're new to my channel, HI! I'm Katherine and I put out a new theatre related video on every #TheatreThursday plus bonus uploads throughout the week! My videos cover a variety of topics include musical theatre / acting advice, theatre actor lifestyle, performance reviews, and general broadway geekery. Additionally, I make usual KZbinr videos, but with a slight theatre-y twist.

my first kiss was onstage as hope in anything goes and I wanted to die

[@manuelorozco7760]

adele villa I actually never had an onstage kiss as a student actor.

[@mossybiscuit4226]

My first kiss is going to be as Princess Ninetta in The love of three oranges (of be shocked if you've ever heard of that show) and the show is only a few weeks away which means I have to start kissing the prince on rehearsals soon and IM REAL NERVOUS AND NOT READY

[@SkylarGActor]

adele villa my first kiss was on stage too. I played Patrice in 13 the musical.

[@kenz_shields]

I'm playing Hope in a few weeks, and yeaaaaah I'm in the same situation 😂

[@emmavermillion3132]

do a video all about your stage kiss stories

[@juliaflores257]

Talking about show memes, it reminds me of one in the show that I’m in. I’m in Newsies, and one of Jack’s lines in the middle of the fight scene after Seize the Day is “Cheese it, fellas. It’s the bulls.” Honestly it’s one of the dumbest lines in the whole show, but it’s hilarious. So now every once in a while someone will say, “Bulls it, cheese it. It’s the fellas.”

[@amaranta8650]

It’d be awesome to see you in a show 💜

Kath, you dont happen to have any tips on training your voice for belting?? I have theories about what my senior year musical will be and I really want to impress my director

[@clairelundin11]

Hey, I'm obviously not Kat, but definitely try to get some voice lessons! Belting is great to be able to do if you learn how to do it safely without hurting your voice. Break a leg!

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

I know this comment is from 4 years ago but just wanted to pop in and say that I hope your senior year went well. Happy singing if that's something you're still interested in doing! :)

[@willowkingston4797]

OH MY GOD SHE ANSWERED MY QUESTION YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM

[@themelodystar4286]

"This isn't going into the video; that's way too dirty, oh my god." Kat, more than half of musicals are at least more than a little bit dirty. You know this.

Hi Katherine! I need help figuring out my future...I want to go into musical theatre as a profession but i don't know how to get into it all. Right now, I'm only doing shows at my highschool

[@thelifeofelle1389]

That experience will make people more willing to cast you in college shows; you can also look for a community theatre to get more experience, which can lead to more connections. Those two things can really help you out. Oh one more thing!! Try backstage.com if you want to find more professional stuff.

[@griffin1837]

Try community theatre or summer camps! Do as much theatre as you can !!

[@annika6815]

Seize any opportunity for roles, obviously make sure that you'll have the time and its manageable in your schedule. But just look for community theater productions and maybe some professional ones? Ik I like to audition for my cities (professional) theater, even if you dont get cast, your name is now in the minds of professional directors and such, so that helps, getting your name passed through the grapevine.

[@bowtiemouse]

I think I have two favorite costumes. I loved my costume for "Fiddler on the Roof", because just putting on the skirt immediately got me into character. There was just something about it that made finding my character easier. My second favorite was a dress I wore for the first song of "My Favorite Year." I had never worn anything that sparkly or sleeveless before and I felt pretty damn gorgeous in it. Also, the fact that when I tried it on for our first costume fitting, all the girls in my dressing room went "GUUUURRRRL YOU LOOK GOOD IN THAT" so that was a nice confidence boost. :3

I’ve always wanted to go to Broadway con! Please do a meet and greet! “But I pliéd for you” such a great line!

That bit about the line that you guys memed reminded me about when I was in a production of Groovy. During one of the songs, one of the characters says “I don’t smell that!” And none of the cast ever got over it. We just said it whenever we had an opportunity.

[@emme1782]

[@sisi2654]

[@penib.]

SEEEEE YAAAAA LAAAATEEEER BEEEEROOOOOWNEEEE!!!!

[@pointeofdance]

Funny story about kissing on stage: I was the stage manager for our high school production of The Importance of Being Earnest. We get to the scene at the end where everybody is coupling up and everything is happy. Our director had every person kiss after they said the name of their significant other. Well, we’re in rehearsals and are running the scene for the first time and the director tells them to just go for it. After Chausable and Prism kiss, the guy pulls back and yells out “HASHTAG FIRST KISS”. The whole cast and crew just cracked up😂
