Any tips that will help me get Lumiere?

Hey!

My school is doing 'Beauty and the Beast' for it's upcoming play. I want the role of Lumiere badly.

BADLY

Is there any tips on how I can bag the role for the play? I've got 'Be Our Guest' nailed, my french accent, charisma, etc.

Is there any specific tips on how to get this part???


Thanks!

Well, I have auditions very soon, too, but I'm going for Belle, so..
at the risk of sounding cliche,
I say relax. Be very proud you've done so well to prepare. It's awesome you have mastered your song, and it seems you've gotten into character. The week before my audition, I live as the character I want to be.
For example, I'll have a book in my hand all day, instead of in my bag, to be the beautiful bookworm Belle. And I'll try to sound a little smarter and less loud than I usually do Razz

1. Don't kill your voice the day of the audition. This is very important! Last year, I sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow" 34 times in a row b4 my Dorothy audition, and my voice wasn't nearly as good as it could have been.

2. If you're up to it, I'd speak in your accent! I talked like a little British girl for a MONTH b4 I auditioned for Alice in Wonderland (I got Alice, BTW)!

3. Just really feel the part, so you can BE him instead of ACT like him, ya know?

I'm sure you'll do great! Be confident, and lay on that Lumiere charm thick
