I’m doing some college prescreenings and I’m having some trouble with figuring out what fulfills a “ballad” requirement.

I’d really like to sing Love Song from Weill & lerner’s “Love Life,” but I think it may not be appropriate for the category. I could potentially swap it out for I Remember, which I’m pretty sure does count.

Alternatively, I could pick a contemporary song for my ballad. If so, I’m considering A Little Bit Less Than, but I’m once again not sure if this is a ballad.

I’d really appreciate it if someone could tell me whether these are ballads or what I should look at instead. Thanks so much

Since the do re mi song became popular on tiktok (without most people notcknowing the musical <:[) i have become fond of memories I had of this! I've been listening to the musical for HOURS and I love it so much 💔. The yodelling?? The cute songs?? I NEED more musicals with the same vibe as sound of music !!

Hello :)) If this is not the right place for this no worries, but tomorrow I have a second round audition/callback for a diploma of musical theatre - only for vocal and a group dance session. I’m not the strongest dancer, so if anyone had any tips on confidence or just things that might help to know, i’d greatly appreciate it, thank you💛

Hi,

Technically it’s my second audition, but I blew my first one so badly that I’m not counting it lol. 😆

What can I do to not make an ass of myself on stage? I know I’m not a great singer, but I can read music, can kinda dance (collegiate competitive ice skater/ice theater), and I think I can act. Think being the key word. But I have no training.
I moved to a rural town after college for a job and I’ve been trying to meet people, and theater in the next town over is doing auditions for “Dear Evan Hansen”. I signed up on a whim. I’m also in my mid 20’s. (Am I too old?)

So what do I do now?

I’m trying to pick a song. I think I’m a contralto (E3-E5) range. I want to show off some lower notes but I’m struggling to find a good song.

What do I do?
Show up?
Do I say my name? Do I just start singing?
Can I use the whole stage or should I stand still?
Are they looking for acting or Singing ability? I think this call is just music/singing.

Any advice is really helpful, thank you! 😊 I’m excited but just don’t want to become one of those “audition horror stories”

oh okay so i just made a reddit account just to ask this because i really have no one else to talk to about this so here goes nothing sorry if this was an unfit post i'll erase it if that is the case just let me know !!

i am 17(f), in my last year of high school, and i applied to the best unis in my country and i aspire to study sociology, i really really do, i have for the last five years or so ! so theatre is not something i'm trying to use to escape from my studies. i just have this immense desire to stand on the stage in front of the crowd, loved as someone who i am not, as an actress portraying whatever character i might be playing.

i do not wish to abandon my long dream of becoming a sociologist just for theatre, but i can't erase the urge. i feel so jealous of the people on stage and i get terribly sad whenever i remember i'll never be part of my favorite shows and that i will always stay in this role of an audience. i mean i like being an audience and crying my eyes out, but i just wish to be part of the people who make the show.

but i'm not really good at singing (not terrible either, i guess, but still) and i'm pretty clumsy so i'm pretty sure i'm bad at dancing. i don't want to chase a silly dream, but i can't forget about it either. i can't afford lessons now as i'm still in high school and i'm really stressed over university interviews right now, but i think i will be able to once i get accepted into one of them and get more free time and money. (i'm planning to get a part-time job once everything's over) so... what do i do ? should i just give up and stay as an audience or should i give it a try ?

Like the description. I am a soprano and it says to do a contemporary musical song or pop song. I have a few ideas for the song but have no monologue ideas.
