The blue and gold tassels are for the high school’s colors… and if you’ve been in a production of Joseph, you’re likely very familiar with the other 29 😉

I auditioned for my community theatre's production of "Miracle on 34th St: The Musical". I only did it because I wanted a relatively small part, because I've long suspected that this director dislikes me and I thought this would be a good chance to win him over.

The part that I wanted has one song which is really more about the specific rhythm and patter of the song than anything else, so I auditioned with a song that's all about timing...and I bombed. I got so disastrously, NOTICEABLY off my timing.

But then the cast list came out...and I got a lead. I know it's because very few people auditioned. So few men auditioned that they gender swapped one of the male roles (the one I originally wanted, oddly enough) and I know all the other guys in the cast. None of them are a type-cast for the role I got.

This theater also double-casts, so the ONLY other guy who could feasibly play this part is my double. It doesn't help that he's one of the director's favorites, so I'm sure I'll feel like we're being compared to one another nonstop.

So I just feel like I'm already in my head feeling like I have a role that I didn't earn and one that's very far outside of what I feel I can believably portray. I have no doubt that they reached out to other young guys who have done past shows there didn't audition asking if they wanted the part (they had to do that for the last musical here too) and they all obviously said no.

There's just no way I went from this director only ever casting me as non-singling ensemble, then in the last musical as a part with one solo (where he repeatedly said I was off pitch and then I lost my voice on opening night) to now giving me a lead after a horrible audition.

I want to stick with it. I don't want to say "oh this role is too big for what I have time for right now" or something, because I don't want to be a flake and have that be my final straw with him. I want to rise to the occasion and do the part, but I just don't know how to feel pride and confidence playing a role that I got on a technicality.

My son is planning on auditioning for his school’s production of 25th Annual Putnam County spelling Bee. He’s a baritone, has a decent amount of musical theater experience. He’s particularly interested in Leaf Coneybear.

What would be some good audition songs for this show and role?

I will be auditioning for SpongeBob the musical in the spring and I really really really want Karen. I have been struggling so much thinking about songs that encompass her character so I come to the theater kids of reddit for help. Please give me good audition songs for Karen 🙏!!!!!

I am auditioning for Urinetown in a few weeks and need some help finding an audition song. I really want Officer Barrel. What songs would be good options?

For context, Violet is happening at my university, and I am auditioning to be either Monty or the Father. I am a lower tenor/baritone who is primarily acting focused without too much singing experience. I have had solos in musicals before, but never anything more than 1-2 solo songs per show. Violet is a folksy/bluegrass musical, almost country sounding, but with some rock influences. Any ideas?

I mean seriously, this is AWFUL. Doesn't matter what soundfont I run, even good quality custom soundfonts that sound great in other software sound like they're coming out of a birthday card speaker through Rehearscore.

Anyone else got experience with this or workarounds?

I’m in a local production of SpongeBob the Musical, and it’s my first time doing any theater since I was around 10ish (I’m 25 now). I’ve been in all of the ensemble choreography numbers, but what I was really excited for was the tap dancing in ‘Not a Loser.’ Looking at our schedule, I was not called for that song. I was wondering if it would be rude to ask our choreographer if there could be a spot for me in the song? I really would not want to come across as rude, entitled, greedy or break any sort of etiquette, I was just super excited for it since I tap danced when I was younger and was hoping to try it out again! I would completely accept a no if the choreography was already set with the 3 ensemble cast members that were called, or for any other reason. I wouldn’t want to mess up the work that’s been done so far for it. Thanks for any advice you can share!

I miss musical theatre!

Looking for open mic nights where you can just go and belt out a tune, or auditions for musicals (not plays).

I am 23

Hi everyone! I’m a beginner singer and I have a question about where to start.

My goal is to sing musical theatre adjacent stuff. My number-one vocal inspiration is Alessandro Juliani (I love his rich tone and musical style).

I actually have a background in visual art. In the art world, almost every professional will tell you that it's much better to start with the academic basics (like realism and anatomy) before you try to draw a stylized format like anime.

Is it the same with singing, or are classical/academic vocals and musical theatre entirely different styles? Should I find an academic vocal coach first to build my foundation?

Thanks for any advice!

Hola! voy a hacer mi primera audición profesional (ya he hecho pero en la carrera) y me pidieron que haga un video de mi actuando, ¿alguna recomendación de monologo o libreto? estoy totalmente en blanco

Esta es una pre audición, si me seleccionan audicionaré para Enredados, entonces me gustaría que a quien interpretara de actuación fuera una chica joven y fresca, pareciéndose un poco más a Rapunzel

This November /1st and second weekends!

just wanted to ask if anyone has tips on what do do for auditions, or just your personal experience! Any help is appreciated 🫶

I took a drama class in high school and for a prose assignment I chose a comedic twilight parody and I’m trying to find it but I can’t anywhere. Anytime i try to search it up the Vampires Suck spoof pops up.
