Guys! Important announcement! Today and yesterday I had a snow day, and since I recently heard that my school is doing theatre productions next year for the first time in (school name) history, so I decided to pour my heart and soul out into a well-structured essay explaining why we should do musicals and why one of the musicals should be Annie because ya boi wants to be in Annie again plus I think it would be good for my school to do, and I made, like, a MILLION points on why we should do it in order to convince them. I'm going to print out the essay and give it to my principal and soon-to-be theatre teacher tomorrow, wish me luck!

[@Graceisprobablyonline]

Also, do you think you're able to do a video showing how to develop vibrato, please? If you can, of course!

[@jaylasaige1715]

sisi saurus I can do vibrato but I don’t know how I can!!!

[@quteru2654]

You develop one overtime, especially when your voice starts to mature. Until it starts to come you can’t really make yourself do one if it’s not natural. Best of luck! Just keep singing!

[@ireminan772]

everything I've read always said it comes with developing your breath support!

[@artyzara1799]

+1 Yes@@quteru2654

[@theaternerd5145]

you cant just get one, it develops over time. there's nothing you can really do to get it to come faster. idrk. my vibrato started developing at 12, but that's different for everyone. i hope you get one soon if not already!! break a leg!

I kinda want to genderbend the question about male musical dream role. Instead, I want to answer my female dream role (if that's okay). My female role is Eponine in Les Miserables. I feel like as a guy, a gender bended Eponine could bring out new meaning to the song On My Own

Hey Kath, I'm really sorry to bother you but would it be a problem to a Character Tutorial for Mimi from Rent because I have a show coming up and I'd really appreciate some help. 😊 Preferably including a character analysis and thoughts in general about the character and Rent ❤ Again I don't want to come off as rude I just wanted to suggest it as a video idea. Thanks for the great videos they've really helped me grow as a performer, much love Kath 💕

Bobby/Bobbi in Company is a Sondheim officially sanctioned female role too. Have you heard the cast recording of the current West End production?

[@ariannaengnell7218]

Jennifer Garibay I saw the show in London and it works so perfectly for Bobbi to be played by a woman (particularly Rosalie Clark). I love listening to her sing Bobbi’s songs so much.

As a light skinned Latina I FELT THAT when you talked about reading for Maria 😂😂 I LOVED what you said in response to the body type question!! I recently was talking to one of my close friends who’s an actress and she encouraged me to audition for a local production of BATB(my favorite Disney movie/musical) and Matilda(she thinks I’d be a good Miss Honey). I wasn’t sure because I have no experience but I’m also plus size and have struggled with body image issues my whole life. And that was just really really encouraging and gave me a push toward actually auditioning. So thank you 🥰💕

Plus I really feel like my grades would be WAY better if I was Belle lol... 4:31 oh please, if you're gonna make me choose, at least make me choose one from each of the 4 Orlando parks!!! (I don't quite live on the east coast but I'm close enough. It's the only Disney place I've ever been. Yes, I've done all 4 parks) 10:12 hmmm....Beauty and the Beast (obviously), I really want to be involved in Mean Girls in some way or another but I have zero role preferences, and I like the idea of being in Into the Woods (either as Red or Cinderella) but I don't think I can handle Sondheim just yet lol (also Nessa in Wicked is technically within a comfortable part of my range, albeit relatively lower, but literally my only reason for wanting the role is that I never have to stand up or dance etc...I'm such a weirdo)
