[Fatty]

These have been taking the musicals.net forums by storm, so I thought I'd start one here.

You can either record or type a song of your choosing; make sure you include your name and what part you sing (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). Also include what part you are trying out for. Auditions will close January 20 with callbacks posted January 22.

If you do decide to record, send the recording to my e-mail address at phantomphreak4@yahoo.com.

[piscesmoni]

is anyone actually planning on doing this virtual show [i.e. has anybody sent in auditions?]

[Fatty]

No auditions yet...I don't think this is going to work out, sadly.

(walks in confidently and cheerfully...wearing a peach sweater set, a flowing black skirt, black pumps, and a neat string of pearls) (i have long auburn hair, big brown eyes, and a thin, but volumtuous figure)
(hands virtual resume to the director--includes ellen in miss saigon, and ayah in the secret garden)

"hello, i'm jill sheridan. i'm 16 years old (but can play early 20's), and a soprano (to top C). I would like to be considered for one of the Kates...but any role is fine! i will be singing a section of "how could i ever know" from the secret garden. "

How could I know I would have to leave you (questioning gently, with left hand to chest)
How could I know I would hurt you so (clasps hands in front of me)
(strong and clear) You were the one I was born to (dreamily and sweetly with a smile) love
Oh, how could I ever know (reaches out, slightly left to imaginary archibald)
How could I ever know (hand slowly falls down, next to me)

How can I say to go on without me (take a step forward, slightly to the left)
How, when I know you still need me so (looks down, almost guiltily)
How can I say not to dream about me (head slowly rises, looking at "archibald")
How could I ever know
How could I ever know (slightly shakes head)

Forgive me (takes two steps forward-left)
Can you forgive me (reaches out, pretending to caress archibald's cheek)
And hold me in your heart (brings both hands, gently, to heart)
And find some new way to love me (posture rises, voice growing)
Now that we're apart (leans in, looking lovingly at "archie")

How could I know I would never hold you (slowly wraps arms around myself)
Never again in this world (almost in tears)
But oh, sure as you breathe (looks up, and smiles widely through the tears)
I am there inside you (pats heart with both hands)
How could I ever know
How could I ever know (hands come back to each side)

Thank you so much for your time! (collects music from the pianist) (turns to leave, smiles and waves) Have a good evening!

[Intothewoods4]

(Hands music to accompianist.)

(stares out--emotional)
How could I know I would have to leave you
How could I know I would hurt you so
You were the one I was born to love
(smiles)
Oh, how could I ever know
(shakes head)
How could I ever know

How can I say to go on without me
How when I know you still need me so
(clenches fists and puts them to heart)
How can I say not to dream (hands out) about me
How could I ever know
How could I ever know

Forgive me
Can you forgive me
And hold me in your heart (hands to heart)
And find some new way to love me
Now that we're apart

How could I know I would never hold you
Never again in this world
But oh, sure as you breathe
(smiles)
I am there inside you!
(louder)
How could I ever know
(quieter)
How could I ever know

Thank you for your time!

I walk in. I'm wearing a knee length beige skirt, a sleeveless dark brown top that's slightly low cut. my hair is tied back in a loose knot.

Hi my name is Anne, i'm 14 can play up to early 20's. I'd like to be considered for one of the 3 kates but anything is fine. i'll be singing "Someone Like You" from Jekyll and Hyde.
(starts off softly)
I peer through windows, (looks around)
Watch life go by,
Dream of tomorrow, (clasps hands)
And wonder "why"? (looks out to audition pannel)

The past is holding me, (makes a restricting movement)
Keeping life at bay,
I wander lost in yesterday,( looks down)
Wanting to fly -( looks up with hope in her eyes)
But scared to try.( looks down again, then looks around)

(starts with more strength in her voice, still delicate)
But if someone like you (smiles, looks hopeful)
Found someone like me, (smiles, clasps hands)
Then suddenly (looks up)
Nothing would ever be the same! (smiles, clasps hands)

My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive - (smiles)
If someone like you
Found me! (revels in happiness)

So many secrets (looks down, looking up slightly)
I've longed to share! (clasps hands)
All I have needed
Is someone there, (sighs)

To help me see a world (looks out)
I've never seen before -
A love to open every door,
To set me free, (smiles)
So I can soar!( throws arms out in outward gesture)

(starts getting into belt)
If someone like you (smiles)
Found someone like me, (looks down blinking)
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same! (looks at audition pannel, with wide eyes)

There'd be a new way to live, (smiles, extatically happy)
A new life to love, (smiles, extatically happier)
If someone like you
Found me! (large open gesture)
(belts)
Oh, if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!

My heart would take wing, (smiles broadly)
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you (looks at panel)
Loved me...
Loved me...
Loved me!... (cross hands over chest, is overjoyed)

"thank you for listening!"

[BelleCinderella]

*Walks in, smiling confidently. She brushes a stray curl out of her face as she hands the music to the accompanist*

"Hello, my name is Kate. I am 15 years old. I sing a mezzo-soprano range, and I will be performing the song 'Over the Rainbow,' from The Wizard Of Oz."

*The music starts and she begans to sing*

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
Way up high,
There's a land that I've heard of,
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish up a star,
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me,
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
A way above the chimney tops, *she raises her hands slowly in the air*
That's where you'll find me...

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why, then o why can't I?

Happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

*The music stops and so does her singing. She smiles as she walks confidently out of the room*

[thegoodseed]

*walks in confidently
Hi, my name is thegoodseed and I am auditioning for any female role and will accept any role given.I am a soprano and I will be singing "Out here on my own" from Fame. I have been in many musicals such as Godspell and Honk!, and was also Cinderella in the ITW virtual cast. (hands director her resume)
(hands music to accompianist and waits for music to begin)
*kneels and begins to sing, starts off softly
Sometimes I wonder
Where I've been
Who I am
Do I fit in
Make believing is hard alone
Out here on my own

We're always proving
Who we are
Always reaching
For that rising star
To guide me far
And shine me home
Out here on my own

*stands up, and gets louder
When I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes
so I can be with you
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

Until the morning sun appears
Making light of all my fears
I dry the tears I've never shown
out here on my own

But when I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

*gets soft again
Sometimes I wonder
Where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in?
I may not win
But I can't be thrown
*suddenly gets louder
Out here on my own

Out here
On my
Own

Thank you for your time

...all that God requires.

"When wilt Thou save the people?
O, God of mercy when?
The people, Lord, the people,
Not thrones and crowns, but men!!!"

*Walks around stage and "talks" with heaven*

"Flowers of Thy heart
O, God are they.
Let them not pass like weeds away.
Their heritage a sunless days.
God save the PEOPLE!"

*Quiet and relaxed with rich sound, singing to audience and then to God*

"Shall crime breed crime forever, strength aiding still the strong?
Is it Thy will, O, Father,
That men shall toll for wrong?
No say Thy mountains,
No say Thy skies.
Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise!
And songs be heard, instead of sighs,
*Faster, with powerful sound*
God save the people!!!"

"When wilt Thou save the people?
O, God of mercy when?
The people, Lord, the people,
Not thrones and crowns, but men!!!
God save the people
For Thine they are,
Thy children as Thy angels fair.
God...save the people...from despair."

*Hands out toward the skies*

"God save the people!!!"

Thank you.
