Surely not another HSM audition...!Alas, I'll be trying out for High School Musical next week. I can only wonder why it has become so popular as a school production... *sigh*
Anyway, moving on. I would really like to go for either Taylor (first pick) or Sharpay. Audition materials are very limited; everyone will act out a completely random role chosen by the casting director (from each of two scenes). Next, everyone has to sing one of the two songs provided, which are Start of Something New and We're All in This Together.
I want to really shine as one or the other girl... but I have no control over who I read for, or if I even end up reading more than one line. As for the song, I sound best on Start of Something New. Problem there is it's a difficult song to put "attitude" into.
Any advice would be wonderful. I know you all know what you're doing.

AND you're better than everyone else and had to make your own thread because why?
Anyways, my adivce would be to learn the characters of each role. PREPARE!

if you go for Sharpay, dress in very sparkly things, with sequens and such.

That's what my jr. high musical auditions were like. Just practice for all of the roles that you might have to act out so you'll be ready when assigned one and show you can adapt to being different characters.

Hmmmm, "shining" as Taylor or Sharpay really just depends on your attitude. I would show the directors that you're not afraid to put yourself out there and sing the song or read that 1 line with enthusiasm!
If you know for a fact that one of the songs sounds better than the other for you, than I would definately sing that one. Say the words to "Start of Something New" as a monologue and find out words to emphasize; every song tells a story, find out what it is!
Break a leg, babe!

Be nice!
You're essentially wondering how to stand out when you're performing the exact same things everyone else will be performing? Good question! I struggle with this as well!
Aside from making sure you're getting lots of dance and acting training through classes, lessons, and books, here's my piece of advice:
be different.
So often when the same scene is being read over and over by 50 people, it all looks the same. Very often, one girl does something neat and then every girl after her incorporates it or tries to one take it up a notch. (Specific example, when auditioning for Man of La Mancha, I read the scene where Sancho asks Aldonza for a love token for Quixote and Aldonza gives him a rag. When I did the scene, I decided to blow my nose in it before I gave it to Sancho. From then on, the women reading the scene after me all did progressively more disgusting things with the rag, eventually culminating in a woman pretending to rip off her underwear and give that to Sancho. Sure it was funny at first, but it got UNfunny very quickly. Lame and tired.) So whatever other girls are doing, don't just imitate them while also trying to take what they're doing to the next level - just do something new! Don't just re-enact the movie, either. Make new choices like, (I have no idea what happens in HSM so this is gonna be a poor example,) let's Sharpay is yelling at her little lap dog theater friend to do something for her. All the girls ahead of you are acting impatient and demanding. You would decide to perhaps guilt trip sharpay's friend into doing something for her. Or to turn on the water works. Or to suck up to him. Or to even flirt with him. I wish I knew of a specific scene in it so that I could give you more specific suggestions, but this is the best I can do.
Best of luck!

HSM AuditionsI just auditioned for HSM last week with a similar process to yours, except we only had singing and dancing auditions. We all had to sing from 1 of 3 songs for our singing audition. Because there was no reading, the director wanted us to show as much personality as possible in our singing and dancing. If you sing as sweetly as a bird but don't act the part, you ultimately won't be as good as someone who sings well but embodies the part. I know that this is seems obvious, but it was amazing how many people just stood there staring at their music (we're allowed to carry it up there with us, I know that's pretty sad). Also, make sure you are singing in the style of HSM. If you go up there and sing your song lightly, versus the pop style of the musical, you have less chance of getting a part (another mistake I saw alot).
My other advice is to make sure you're having fun up there. For my callback, they had me sing a couple of segments which weren't in the best part of my range, but I belted them out smiling anyway, and I think that helped me get a part (Kelsi, the playmaker, which I'm really excited about because Kelsi is actually accompanying Troy and Gabriella onstage in our show, and I can finally put my piano skills to use, as well as have a couple solos).
Oh, and lastly, if you're in school, be prepared for more than the average amount to try out. I go to a school of 600, and over 100 tried out. We ended up with a cast of 48. With so much interest in the show, I think you see why it's an obvious choice for a school production.
I don't know if you wanted to know any of the above information, but now to directly answer your question:
If "Start of Something New" is your best song, go for it and act the part of Gabriella, rather than trying to put attitude into it. It's better that you can act the song you're singing rather than act the part you want with a song that doesn't fit the part. I sang "Start of Something New" in a duet for my audition too!

Not saying whether i like HSM or not, but people like YOU make me sick. First off, being that rude to someone for their opinion about a musical. It is not like the person made a racist or prejudiced remark. He/she likes a disney thing. So what? That DIsney show is making mad cash for disney and is giving many actors jobs. As a professional actor, any show that will pay me to do it, I'll do it. Also, The People who think they are the all-knowing and all-final opinion on good theater. It is totoally fine for poeple to have different opinions. I love musicals, probably more then you do, but never would I treat someone so rudely about their like or dislike of a "Musical>" If i am correct-you are still in highschool. Grow up! I woudl rather be someone who likes HSm the be an arrogant, ignorant, little shit.

It didn't seem sarcastic.
Why not defend your statement if you really believe in it? I personally kinda agree with you; though I wouldn't have used the same words.
I was recently asked to audition for HSM and being considered poppy and pretty (not how I would descibe myself, believe me- but in the words of casting directors) I would probably get cast in the show.
But I just don't want to; I don't think it's credible to what I want to do with my acting career/experience- and I'm okay with saying that. However, I'm also okay with people trying out for the show if they want to; just not my cup of tea.
Doing Grease was difficult enough for me; but heck, lots of people love the show, so whatever; more power to 'em!

Just dont put HSM on your resume if you do decide to do that horrid show.

If i am correct, she is in Highschool. It is what her highschool is putting on. I am sure anyone would rather be able to do their hs show then do nothing. And Salome there are some awesome regional theatres doing HSM in the next few months and you WOULD put it on to show the theatre.
And Jenem, you don't think it is credible. Are you Meryl Streep? No! YOu take what you can get until you can pick your own parts. For all of you who think you are too good for HSM, you should take alook in the mirror. Those actors in that movie and teh actors in the great regional theatre productions are atleast working on TV and at these great theatres and getting paid mad cash. What are you doing? Sitting on a forum and not on TV or a great regional theatre. DO I htink it is an amazingly written show. No. However, I think it is a good choice for highschools to do. Overall, not many people in Highschool are totally familar with musicals (pther then teh super popular ones like Wicked, etc). So a show like this is a good way to atleast introduce them to it. Atleast they would be bale to relate to these characters, compared to a high school kid trying to be Sweeny or Valjean. SOrry I am being so bitchy, but for some reason I am sick of the HSM bashing. It is what it is. Light fluff. There ar epoeple who don't wanna go into the business, they just liek to perform. I htink it would be a fun show to be in, I love to dance. How fun! And Salome-I have respect for you, however I don't think you are right by saying do not put it on your resume. No offense hon, but some of the pictures you posst on here, you should not post or let anyone see, not very flattering, age appropraite or fashion savvy.
To Sweeny- Everyoneis allowed ot there opinions, but then again I look at some of your othe rposts (telliong a 13 year old girl to sing Send in the Clowns for an audition, and then I realize you have NO idea what you ar etalking about, so I appologize for my first response, since I did not knwo your ignorance.

Who are you and what have you done to my shadowdancer?  
*Looks under a rock, behind the bushes,...*
But seriously, I think what makes people upset about a show like HSM is the fact that this light fluff is what non-theatre people look at as "real" musical theatre. Just because there's money in it doesn't mean it's truly artistic. A lot of these people are hoping to see that musical theatre is evolving artistically and creating a thought-provoking medium for everyone involved. Perhaps this is one reason I'm sitting at my desk today. I'm not necessarily ashamed of that fact. Broadway doesn't mean what it used to. There are projects that I think twice about because I want to get something real out of the experience...I swear I was born in the wrong era! LOL! (And trust me, I would do SOM again if the price was right! LOL! But oftentimes, regional theatres are more about growing artistically than making the big bucks...)
I personally believe that while HSM may be a cross-over musical for kids who may not have had previous interest in musicals, that kids in the educational system should be exposed to the classic musicals that have a bit more substance...while perhaps Sweeney and Les Mis may be a bit over their heads, musicals like Oklahoma, Guys and Dolls, etc. have endured...and for what reason have they endured? That is something kids should be exposed to as an expansion of what has turned them on to musical theatre in the first place...If they are exposed to what they saw on TV in high school, their knowledge of musicals really doesn't go much further beyond that if they don't have a lot of exposure to theatre outside of their high school experience...(Like how I grew up! LOL!)
Anyway...that's my piece...You know we are still totally compadres! 
Just don't scare me like that again!

I, being the queen of sarcasm, can usually tell when others are being sarcastic. IF I'M TALKING TO THEM IN PERSON. However, it's much more difficult to tell sarcasm from seriousness when all I can see is the words you're saying, not your expression or your tone of voice. Please keep this in mind in the future.

No, I am not Meryl Streep. Far from it actually, and I don't remember saying this.... 
I said that I don't think it's credible to what I want to do with my acting experience; meaing that it doesn't align with what I want to learn for myself. Anyway, since it didn't come across the way I had hoped, what I mean is that I choose my shows carefully. I have to, becuase I do mostly community theatre. And HSM is not something I think I would enjoy doing. That is all. I'm so sorry to have offended you this much.
I will take a long hard look in the mirror tonight though. Thanks for the enlightening advice.

Oh no I stand behind what I said. I was saying sorry to the people the post was not directed at that they had to read it(plus my horrible spelling/typing skills)
And jazzy, I agree with what you said. However, if it takes even one student to start with HSM who then goes on to become more involved/knowledgable in theatre then it is worth it in my book. Obviously there are people who dispise HSM and still don't know much about art or theatre. And on the other hand, I am sure there ar epoepel who like and accept HSM and are very knowledgable and wise.

I feel it's the school's responsibility to expand upon what the student has already been exposed to...To do HSM just to appeal to your students, instead of doing a similar show or one that expands upon that idea that's got more substance is not doing much for the child's educational theatre experience. I feel that directors who appeal to the FANGRLZ are doing their students a great disservice...

I comepletely agree with you Jazzy. And I think you are being too nice to shadowdancer-whose argument I'm still confused by. You were critisizing people for acting as though they were holier-than-thou about HSM, yet that is exactly how you are acting now, about people expressing their opinions in a forum; opinions, which for the most part were misunderstood by yourself.
Also, for the record, a real debate shouldn't have to involve name-calling but for some reason you felt the need to stoop to that level, so your argument is flawed. And yes, it's hard to take someone seriously when their spelling and grammer are atrocious.
I'm surprised someone as cool as Jazzy thinks you're a good person. I disagree with that even more than having myself audition for HSM (that's right, I said myself as opposed to others, who can audition all they freaking want).

Well, guys...I love you both...
I think SD was uncharacteristically snarky, which is why he went on the way he did. 99.999999999% of the time, he's an absolute sweetie.
I think he had just reached a point where he was sick of hearing the same thing over and over and while I don't think he was terribly articulate this time around, I sort of understand where he's coming from...though I may not agree with his point of view entirely.
SD gives wonderful advice and has a great working knowledge of musical theatre, both past and present. He's more than happy to help people and I think that may also have attributed to how he responded to this thread. The poor kid that originally posted can't help the fact that yet ANOTHER high school is putting on HSM...It's important to remember that this is all a lot of kids have for a theatrical outlet is their high school productions...And it does seem a bit like people who despise HSM are attacking a poor kid who didn't pick his/her school musical, but wants to be in a show. (I still think it's a poor choice on the director's part...but that's beside the point of what I'm posting about now...)
Jenem, I love you as well. I think you have a great attitude about musical theatre in general and are learning more and sharing with the rest of the community here what you are learning. I appreciate your generosity and kindness to everyone. You have a great artistic sense and I can tell, without even knowing you, that you are a talented person!
You are also an absolute sweetie and have become one of the people I look forward to hearing from on these boards!
I do agree with what you are saying in terms of the material itself and I'm glad that you aren't backing down from your feelings. I think you clarified yourself well in your second-to-latest post...
You guys are both great assets to the board...
Love,
Jazzy

Awww. I love you Jazzy. 
I'm sorry for being so cranky, and I'm actually most upset about what was said to Salome; I don't think that was fair; I really despise when people have to use immature exterior points to prove the argument at hand. And yes, I know Salome can definitely fight her own battles which is why I haven't brought it up until now
I thank you for your kind remarks, and completely agree with the mention that I am learning more and sharing that information. You know that you are a HUGE part of that. A year ago, I probably would have auditioned for HSM, but when asked recently, it suddenly dawned on me, that I am on a different artistic path now, and I am really proud of that fact. I have so much more knowledge of the world of theatre and I can appreciate well-composed material much more than ever before. Again, to each his own, but I now know what I want to do and realize that I don't have to do everything that comes my way.
And if it still isn’t clear to the others on this board: I do mostly community theatre- where the only payoff is my own personal experience. I need to choose my shows carefully. I'm very sorry if I offended anyone with my remarks, but they were directed only at my personal experience, and not others who wanted to try out for the show.
Anyway, I'll let it rest for your sake, Jazzy. You’re the sweestest; thanks for making my day.

OK OK OK. Sorry I opened a show this past week so hell week it was. I appologize if I offended you Jemen-never my intention. I just felt bad for the kid who posted teh original post. Sometimes super members here just attack anyone and no one will come to their side, so I did. Plus I htink what he said was rude and obnoxious. Yes I knwo I have horrible typing and grammar skills. But just to let you know, I am not that grammatically bad in real life. I actually hold a very high position at a professional theatre and do lots of grant writings, etc.
So anyways, I appologize of I offended anyone, but I felt it was time to stick up for the little guys. I really respect Salome and her theater knowledge but sometimes she does not realize how patronizing she can be. And yes she can handle herself, so if she is offended I knwo i will hear about it. The way I am as a person, if I am being shitty (which I was) then I want to be told so I can fix it.
So I am all about teh big group hug. I like coming here and helping people out with audiiotns, as I have been auditioning in nyc since I was five and rememebr what it was liek being in highschool, so i thought I woudl share some of my experiences and knowledge I have learned working in professional-equity theatre since their are few memebrs on this forum who work at that level (by choice I am sure). Sometimes poepel will make suggestions without really knowing what they are offering. This girl just wanted help. It did not matter what the show was, but she just wanted help and she got jumped at right away.
So I am sorry. I will not type any better though so i appologize for that now. OK group hug!

Totally offtopic but who feels like making a thread just for HSM auditions? There's no seperate show forum and I think we need a place where people auditioning for HSM are going to be safe from remarks about the show.

asdfI agree. It would get people off of the Audtions thread, including me  . It would be wi=orth while considering it is going to be a bid thing for a long time.
