cp star don’t you mean to young for the role of Velma cos that’s the name of the character lol

Molly Dyke yup that’s exactly what I meant idk why I wrote that 😂. I’ll change it now thx for correcting me

With six it has alot more energy which is perfect for her

Seren Lewis idk y but I kinda felt bad for her but also kinda happy that she didn’t get it because If she did she probably wouldn’t have got Anne Boleyn 💚👑

[@misterroboto9999]

Thinking about it, if she got velma, we probably wouldn't have heard of her. Instead, she popularized a new role, standing out, and thereby cementing a place in all our hearts.

And now she be in be more chill

I kept not understanding why this was popping up in my recommended and then I realized ITS MILLIE AND THE TURKISH RUG

[@Gryffindame]

Interesting that they do dancing first over the singing

[@Shinybuddies]

The dancing for Velma is really hard - it will eliminate more people, faster, than the singing

[@maceylamb8922]

Most people can sing and act but struggle on the dancing side. So they try and eliminate more people during the dance sessions than having to sit through loads of singing

[@felicitylittler]

Thats how all auditions🥰
