please can you teach me how to hit this and note. i’m playing the part of wednesday in my school production and i can’t do it. thanks!

[@meganmakenziekolod]

Jessica Shord try saying the hard notes on pitch. Normally when you can do that you can also sing the note on pitch. Also, think of saying the vowel more then anything, because once you think that your mouth will do what it naturally needs to do. I hope this helps and break a leg!

[@jessshord8711]

Megan Makenzie Kolod thank you so much! my production isn’t until february next year do i have time to practise. you truly are an amazing wednesday!

[@meganmakenziekolod]

If you need anymore help, let me know ❤️

[@jessshord8711]

Megan Makenzie Kolod i am unfortunately still struggling with this high note at the end of wednesdays solo. i can do it but i always go flat. can you help with that?

[@meganmakenziekolod]

Jessica are you singing with the original recording? Try singing the last note with the original recording to hear the pitch and to see how off you are. That will give you a form of reference. And as I said before try saying the note on pitch with the music! I hope that helps a little :)

[@teamkinnear]

I am going to be Wednesday for a musical at the theater near me and this is helping me so much. Such a beautiful voice!

[@meganmakenziekolod]

Awww! Thank you so much for the compliment 🙏🏻 I’m so glad my video has helped you! Break legs as Wednesday! I loved playing her, and I’m sure you will too 😊

[@Bumble.bee_vee960]

For one normal night someone in our cast was really good at doing tricks like aerials and stuff, so during the part with the ancestors when they go: “one normal night, one normal night, one normal night Wednesday wants.. etc.” we had her do aerials and dance moves. And it fit perfectly because she was the ballerina ancestor too. Sadly I didn’t get to see it though since I was Pugsley and I wasn’t onstage, but when she did the first practice I got to see her do it. It was actually pretty cool!

[@saralucia2859]

He didn’t catch feelings for me so I can only hope it’s the same case for who ever plays Wednesday. Idek what I’m saying at this point but yea

[@supersebac320]

Well, wednesday goes through a lot of transformation, my recomendation is to look for some of the original material, that and try to not emulate one of the portrails of the actress, play a lot, try also to watch beetlejuice, both the musical and the movie, specially since lydia in this portrails is a lot like wednesday in the musical, try to avoid the cartoon since her portrail is way different, Break a leg!

Hey “Wednesday”, I’m hoping to audition for the role, but I’m not quite sure where to draw the line between dark and funny(cause I know she’s supposed to be both) Any advise?

[@meganmakenziekolod]

The Girl With The Uke It depends on the song in the show. I personally think Wednesday starts off completely dark, but because of Lucas slowly changes, but when he won’t come with her she goes back to dark. Instead of changing back for him he changes for her! As for the humor she likes dark humor, but the only time she should be like actually funny is in “Pulled” where she doesn’t know which way to act, and doesn’t know if she likes that or not! Hope I helped a little 😁

Hi I got cast in a summer production of Addams family and I really want to be Wednesday! Do you have any tips? You did such an amazing job in this btw❤️

[@meganmakenziekolod]

Carmen Awwww thank you so much! That means a lot! Acting wise I would watch the live action movies for inspiration. I based my Wednesday on Christina Ricci’s interpretation a lot. However be sure to show the dramatic difference on how Wednesday is feeling in pulled, like how she likes this stuff but is confused as to why. Singing wise when it comes to the belt don’t scream it that’s very harsh on your vocal chords and could hurt them, think up and over almost as if you are mixing the sound instead of straight up belting. You should feel the buzz of you voice both in your ribs from “chest voice” and eyes/nose area of your face from “head voice”. I hope I explained it good and you understand everything hahaha.
