love all of this. thank you for sharing!

[@bryanedward23]

My audition that I recently did felt like riding a bike after years of being off of it. It felt old hat but still very nerve racking after being out of the game so long. You guys have really helped me learn some things that I need to be doing in order to make a living in this space. Thank you so much for your knowledge and advice. Looking forward to expanding my knowledge and artist book and becoming more confident in my craft.

[@brendaortiz4043]

Thank you for putting this out there, you guys are awesome!

[@32BARCUT]

Thank you!

[@distinctlyuniquems.latrice9647]

Love watching you watch yourself lol. We need to see more of these to encourage us all to go for it (whatever "it" is) knowing that perfection is a figment of our own imaginations. Also second: that vibrato 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@32BARCUT]

Ha! Thank you so much! And I second that - striving for perfection is the thief of joy.

[@leahclo4857]

How could you think it would be terrible? She got the gig😂

[@32BARCUT]

Very good point! 🤣

[@heatherd2583]

This was so fun to watch and I got a ton of helpful tips! Thanks for putting this together ^_^

[@lindaanderson8329]

Yay! Thanks for sharing:) I am in the midst of doing lots of self-taped auditions and it is very revealing:)

Beautiful tones & vibrato! 👏👏👏

[@t59duf76]

Hey I love your work ! I'm french and I came to NYC in november to watch the Lion King on Broadway. Before the show, I wasn't a huge fan of musicals, but after the show, I totally changed my mind ! 😍 The musical was AMAZING, congratulations Adrienne ! You should know you have french fans ! I'm talking about your performance to everyone in France 😂 Please, continue what you're doing, it's A-ma-zing 💪

[@32BARCUT]

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!

[@aprilgrant1957]

PERFECTION! Hopeful and sad at the same time! Are you a mezzo or a dramatic soprano? Good Lord, what diction!

[@32BARCUT]

Thank you so much! Actually that was the big question during undergrad and grad school. I’ve decided that I’m just a singer with a broad range, and I prefer not to categorize a particular façh. Thank you so much for watching and being kind!

[@brandonplays702]

I love it! Love you❤️ Ben obsessed with you and your channel recently!

[@32BARCUT]

Yay! Thank you!

[@richardnottage4737]

Wow. Pipes! That is not an easy song to sing (I can only imagine). Awesome video. Thank you!

Saw Adrienne tonight in the Lion King here in Detroit! Best show ever!

[@32BARCUT]

Hey Missy! You probably saw Kayla Cyphers if you saw the show in Detroit! Adrienne is in the Broadway company only in NYC. So glad you loved the show! We do too!

[@houssosemon]

Wow! What a vulnerable thing to do. Thank you for this! Team vibrato! You sound BEAUTIFUL. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 lol!

[@32BARCUT]

Oh, Housso! Thank you so much! 💗💗💗 #teamvibrato Let’s bring vibrato back to musical theatre!

[@aprilgrant1957]

@@32BARCUT, All in for vibrato! Unless you are singing Gregorian chants, polyphony or Madrigals, vibrates add so much texture.

[@32BARCUT]

Hahaha! Real talk!

[@Filmgirlphilosopher]

Those were so good!

[@32BARCUT]

Thank you so much!

Viiiiibbbrrrrrrrrraaaaatttttoooooo👏👏👏👏👏

[@beltingtokra]

Another vote for tasteful and gorgeous vibrato 🙌

[@32BARCUT]

Thank you! #teamvibrato !

[@fxlyon]

I totally agree with you on the beating yourself up part when you watch yourself back. My vocal couch will make me record myself singing then we’ll both watch it back and critique. But I promise you that I can think of a million things wrong with a performance before I can think of one thing I did right. We will always be our own worst critiques! It can be a good thing to help us grow sometimes but we’ll never think we’re good enough if we always find something wrong. Anyways, I thought it was all amazing really and you deserved that role, wish I could’ve seen it! ❤

[@32BARCUT]

Thank you so much!

[@jkl674]

Also yes to the single 😂😂

[@32BARCUT]

Haha! I’m burning the footage! 😂

[@Filmgirlphilosopher]

I wish I could see the full audition from start to finish with the slate and everything because people do it differently and I want to see how Broadway does it

[@32BARCUT]

Thanks for watching! When you slate, you want to say something like “Hi, I’m Samantha Wilburn, I’m 5’ 6” and I’m based in Chicago, IL. Sometimes they will ask for additional info like for men sometimes they ask if they are willing to shave, or something like that. But a general slate usually only asks for name, height and location. Hope that helps!

Tell the guy to shut up!!! Try to listen to your beautiful voice. He ryuins everything!!!

[@tonyashawvoiceandacting]

Question: Are you singing the “ audition “ version of the song?

[@ProphetsOfRockTV]

Would you ever use a microphone for a musical theatre audition, and would you only keep the song to one minute ?

[@32BARCUT]

Do you mean using a microphone for a self-tape audition? If so, yes, we use a shotgun mic, but you don't have to do that. You can just use your phone. Yes, keep the song short unless they say they want an entire song.

[@brendaortiz4043]

Can you talk about grad school?

[@32BARCUT]

I’d love to! I actually had a poor experience, so I’d love to chat about that in more depth. 💗

[@madelinebrennan9636]

I lived in Kenya for 2 years. Africans do not sing with vibrato :)

[@madelinebrennan9636]

I lived in the country side (Peace Corps) and taught in a school. The school choir, the singing done in churches, etc., no vibrato.

[@kingsleye5940]

Are you guys in a relationship?

[@32BARCUT]

Hi Kingsley! We are married. 👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏻Thanks for watching!
