My tip: Bring extra water bottles! Theatre kids will marry you if you give them a water bottle. I usually pack 3-4 for this reason, and if none of my friends need some, I have extra for next time. Basically: water will you save you in your time of need.

I thought I did really good at my last audition, but didn't even get a callback. I did get an ensemble part but was wondering what I did wrong... turns out the casting directors weren't even watching or listening to me while I was auditioning... 😒 Oh, yeah, and the girl who got the part I auditioned for didn't even know what song she was singing until she got the audition, she was literally as unprepared as it gets. Not only that, but our show opens TOMORROW and she still doesn't have all her lines memorized. Heck, I know her part better that she does. I have a slight feeling there was a little favoritism

I was in a community theatre production once. I thought I nailed my audition, but I only got the understudy. Turns out the girl who got the lead (who was very underprepared) got the part because she was the casting directors cousin. 😑

that’s exactly what happened to me! Turns out that our directors had been casting based on seniority and not talent. No matter how good your audition was, if you were in middle school, you were automatically placed in ensemble. I was in the 8th grade at the time and the girl who got the part was in the 9th. Although the girl is my good friend, I personally believe that her voice did not fit the role and that she was not as dedicated to it as she should have been. Hope this helps make you feel less alone!

at a theatre that i am considering no longer working with the director was on his phone the entire audition

Something I did which built up my directors confidence in my ability to take on roles is to pick up other peoples slack. Are they absent a lot? Ask if you can play their character so things run smoothly during rehearsal, be open minded and ready to help. In first show at that theatre, I got cast as one of the hyenas in Lion King, but the people playing Pumbaa and Scar were absent alot. I ended up playing Pumbaa in the show even though it wasnt who i was cast as. My directors have continued to give me challenging, large roles or having me jump in for people who had to leave for one reason or another. It proved I was ready to take on more.

The two dislikes are "OMG WTF IS BROADWAY" kids

When you were talking about the bullies I imagined it being the Martha actor bullying the Heather Chandler actor. Idk I thought it would be ironic.

TIP: People will love you during tech week and show days if you bring a gallon of water and cups. I probably got married ten times because of this while I was in Legally Blonde.

In literally every production I’ve been in, the leads and bigger parts get *all* the attention. I mean, if you’re totally new and no one knows you, and you get a lead, then you’re probably making friends with the entire cast.

Thank you for saying the thing about favouritism! Literally my high school musical theatre director ALWAYS picks favorites and it’s no fair. There’s roles that I’ve gotten called back for that literally everybody I’ve talked with has told me that I would be perfect for the role or that one of my friends would be perfect for the role and everybody has agreed. But then the director has chosen her favorite girl because she “is like her when she was younger” and its gone to that main actresses head.

Wow. Watching this made me realize how incredibly lucky I was to get a lead role for my first theater show (Mrs. Potts, Beauty and the Beast Jr.) when I had never worked with the theater before. I proved how hard I work in a way that I couldn't have in the ensemble. Thanks, you made me so much more grateful for that opportunity!

I was doing a audition and they had everyone sing, and then do a cold read.. like normal. But when it was my turn... They DISMISSED me without a cold read! I tried my best when I was singing and they never gave me a chance to show how good I was at that character I had to speak for! I got a ensemble role and the lead had no idea what she was doing until tech week! It was pretty sad..

And don't forget, the bully doesn't have to be another kid. My niece and another girl in a Broadway show had an adult wrangler who was bullying them a bit. I think she didn't want to be working with kids and was taking her frustrations out on them (ignoring them, snapping/yelling at them when she was paying attention), and these are two very well-behaved girls. My niece immediately brought it to the attention of my sister and brother-in-law who spoke with the director. Problem solved. If you or other cast mates are truly being treated badly, let someone know.

My first lead role was in Alice in Wonderland. I was Alice, and it was so cool. It was, however, in a super small group. There were 5 of us. That was interesting. One of our people was playing the White queen and rabbit. Right near the end of the tea party scene, the white rabbit runs off. I then have to get really annoyed and storm off, and the white queen has to come on just before and lead me to to the next square. Basically, she had 5 lines to change, the longest one being 2 sentences. Great. We spoke as slow as absolutely possibly so it sounded really weird. Also, we were in a theatre that we didn't own and we weren't allowed to use the wings. We had to change behind mats that were rolled up in the corner. Also, they decided to give me the costume. They gave me a women's Alice costume, which was just plain slutty. I was 11. Yeah, that show was a mess.

Hey Katherine, I'm currently in a teen theatre group where I am the oldest and the tallest. I also have professional vocal training but I've been cast in a really small role because the directing picks and casts favourites and this is my first year in the program. The director also doesn't give us sheet music but expects me to teach everyone the songs because of my background. The show is in a month and the cast is too busy goofing off that we haven't even got to the second act. How would you recommend dealing with role jealousy and a cast that doesn't seem to care about the show?

In my experience commitment gives u a crazy bonus in the eyes of the director (yeah it might not get u the part necessarily buttt), if you are super committed and always attend every rehearsal you're required for, and if you're just a nice, polite person towards the director and whoever is around you in the company, it can really give you a boost. And even if you don't get a huge part, the director knows you're reliable and you want to help out, which can definitely benefit you if not now but later on in your career😉x

Really good info! Thank you for sharing. 😄

alright, i was the new girl this year and i came in with an understudy role and two supporting roles (apparently i made an older girl cry because i got a better part than her, sorry!!) and everyone was so nice to me! they gave me hugs, told me i was great, and i made so many good friends from the performance.

Ok so I just got a role in Disney Aladdin at a theater in my town! I'm so happy I didn't think I would get it.

I'm glad I found this, I'm going out for Belle in my school's production of Beauty and the Beast!

AND THEN THE WORLD ❤️️❤️️❤️️

Favoritism does happen, so I just made sure to get to know my director/teacher so that he knows I’m trustworthy and now I’m a supporting role and in theatre 3 (advanced/competitive and audition only) after being part of crew less than a year ago and only ensemble for one show.

i second the fact that even if people in the cast already have friends, the may be looking for more. i was one of the only new people in a group of theatre kids who all knew each other from being in the program the year before (this year is its second year of running). i still managed to make some really great friends and fit in just by showing up early, being myself, and being an overall positive person.

I went to a audition once and there was girls as young as 7 auditioning (it was for Annie tour) the director was so rude and when he cut people he simply said “if u r in this group u have been cut... u wanna know why.. ur not good enough” but he said it in such a sour way the small girls all started crying immediately bearing in mind it was probs there first audition,

OMG! She loves Les Mes!!!!!!

I am starting off acting so your realy helpful and when i think of my future I see myselfe doing what I love acting but it skared me when i imagine myselfe being a cashier or some thing .

when i auditioned for seussical I did really good at my audition and got a callback, but of course I was sick that week so i had to do my callback while slowly losing my voice. i ended up getting the role of gertrude because the director already knew i could sing the song because i sang the same song for both auditions. it's definitely important that you do your best at your audition, but don't beat yourself up if you're sick during a callback😃

My director definitely has favorites but her favorites are the best one's who deserve it so I'm like not mad

Can you do a full video on making friends at rehearsal? This really helped me, but being the awkward chicken I am I still need a little more advice.

i just finished beauty and the beast at my community theatre and on the last day they announced that next year they’re doing frozen! i really really really want to be Elsa bc i have her range and i think i’m good for the part, and i also love her. Although i don’t know if i should sing let it go or dangerous to dream. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately I haven't had a lead due to favoritism in high school, but last year (first year of college) I was ensemble in The Magic Flute, and this year I'm auditioning for Lucy in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown!! I didn't get her in high school because of favoritism, but I'm hoping to this year!! The music director knows and likes me from Magic Flute so I'm really hoping I get it!!

I've been super fortunate on the roles I've been cast in. (Lucy in Youre a Good Man, Charlie Brown (first ever show I did, the female lead!), Lion King Jr. as Shenzi, and The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 as Nikki (lead).) I do know that in the community theatre (the one doing LKjr.) I'm definitely among some really talented people but I know that even if I get ensemble I'd be super hype. I just love being involved.

My voice has really grown over quarantine and I just had an audition for a show and I did really good and called back for the lead. But my voice tends to crack when I’m singing unless I cough to clear my throat before I start but at the callback I didn’t cough because one of the directors was pregnant and I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. So I didn’t couch and my voice cracked so badly that they made me sing the song a second time and now I have a part in the ensemble. And for the cast list, everyone who got a leading or supporting role has been a leading or supporting role in literally every other show that we have done. I’ve been with the company from their very first show and I’ve still never gotten a leading role. What can I do to fix this for next time?

I GOT A PART IN THE SCHOOL PART! It's a small part, but this is my first year and I'm just happy I got a part. I got Lady Merrell in Once Upon a Mattress. My audition process was really funny actually. I was gonna do the Belle Reprise from the new Beauty and the Beast trailer, but I decided I couldn't keep tricking myself into thinking I'm a soprano, so I changed to The Gospel Truth 2 from Hercules about 10 seconds before I went on (it had to be really short because there were A LOT of people trying out) and I KILLED IT!

Thankfully the dancing part was really small because I have ZERO coordination.

+Dalia Moreno omg YAYAYAY!!!! 💖 congrats love!!!

My school's director always does ensembles because as a kid she never got parts. She says she does it so everyone gets parts but the same kids always get all the songs. Nobody even auditions she just chooses.
