What I get from my vocal coach is that vocal vibrato is what happens when you have enough breath support and singing in a good position. I have developed a vibrato but usually in high notes and low notes but never the comfort zone and its been 8 months of training. It takes time to fully develop so don't get discouraged if you can't get it right away. Anyway, if you are doing vibrato correctly, you shouldn't be able to feel it. It should feel "effortless". Sometimes, you won't even hear it yourself. It's helpful to record your self while practicing and to get a vocal coach so they can help you with their own methods of developing vibrato. A good tip is to keep your chin parallel to the floor, breathe (deep breaths, in and out with your diaphragm), and make sure you are FULLY opening your mouth. The way you can imagine it is to open your mouth as much as Freddie Mercury does. Make sure your molars are raised. Keep the back of your neck tall ( I know this sounds weird but I totally recommend it). Keep your knees bent so that there isn't any tension in your body. If you feel tension in your neck, stop immediately and try lip trills. We all know that youtube is a great source so try some exercise with breathing and working your diaphragm. Trust me, it's not impossible but it is difficult. You just gotta..... WAIT FOR IT!

I need some advice. So, a while ago, our high school did a show. I was dead-set on getting a role. At the time, it was my absolute dream role. I researched for hours and hours about the show, wrote down character traits and did a deep character analysis, chose a perfect song and monologue, had an outfit picked out that was PERFECT for the character I was auditioning for, and practiced like crazy. I was so prepared for that audition. I was a sophomore at the time, and had done many plays before. Anyway, there was a senior who also wanted the same role as me. She was planning on using her solo from choir to audition, but found out the day of she was not allowed to do that, and ended up singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow (this was for Morticia btw), and her monologue from The Laramie Project, the show we were both currently in. I am confident I did well at my audition. I have strong vocals, and worked very hard on my monologue. For callbacks, it was only me and her. I believe I did well at callbacks too. She ended up getting the role, and I got a part in the chorus, as the Addams Family has a small main cast. My band director later told me that the director believed I did very well, but "you know, seniority matters in this situation." I was pretty broken up about it. i had worked so hard, and I lost my role due to seniority. In my school, all I hear is seniority seniority seniority, and it is driving me up the wall. The seniors even say that in the makeup room, they get to sit in the chairs, and the underclassmen have to sit on the floor. HOW do I deal with seniority in my school when it feels so hopeless?? Edit: I am actually going into my senior year now, but how do I deal with everyone else claiming seniority when I know it isn't right?

My local theater almost went bankrupt and was bought out by another local theater. Now everything is different, the people, the culture. It's been really confusing with the new influx of people, and the culture of the my favorite theater is gone. Do you have any advice?

Queen Vicky to be in character more I typically write long character bios and use templates I find online to create them. Then I vividly before bed when I’m just kinda making scenarios up I do it using my character I’ve created, so for example part of a character bio I’ve done was “what was my immediate location” for a certain scene. It was a quiet coffee shop (obviously with more detail) so I imagined what would happen if there was a screaming child and how the character I’ve developed further would react. Would they get upset, continue on like nothing’s happening, talk trash, roll their eyes, leave... you get the idea. I find that typically helps me get into way more

make your priorities. personally i think school should always be number one and i’m sure your parents would think that too. sorry i sound old but haha always make sure you’re getting g enough sleep that helps with being able to balance everything and if you notice yourself getting super tired maybe try taking one less dance class this year. and i don’t know what your theatre teacher is like but if you’re super tired and really just need that one night to get yourself back into the game ask your teacher if you could get one night off because you’re worried you’re getting sick or just need a mental break. but always make sure you are doing your school work because even though theatre and dance are amazing you still want to make sure you get good grades because when you start looking at colleges they’ll want to see that you’re a hard worker and get good grades. they just want to see if you’re a good person. but like i said make your priorities and always make sure what you’re doing is good for you mentally and physically because truly you are number one. sorry that was long but i wish you the best love!

What's funny is that when I applied for my theatre master's last year, only 3 out of the 7 universities I applied to gave me an audition. Out of the 3, I went in person to 2 of them because the 3rd university asked for a 2 person scene instead. Living in the Caribbean, I couldn't ask my scene partner to spend $400 just to help me audition for 1 school, so instead I sent them a video of the audition scene. Long story short, the universities I went in-person to audition didn't even give me a callback and the university I sent the video to accepted me. I'm starting there this September. 😁😁😁😁😁😁 Based on this experience, I'm putting a bit more faith on video auditions.

Thank you for addressing friends and drama!! Something similar happened to me where it was both me and my friends being really toxic for one another, and I really needed this as a reminder. Another thing to add on too: if they're in the same theatre department, leave the drama/spite (if you feel any, of course) at the door. We all work for the same goal once we reach rehearsal: to put on a good show and I don't think drama (in the sense of gossip and cliques) helps at all. Some people may not do that, but at the same time, some people do and I tend to think those people are some of the best performers I've seen. Just a tid bit of advice from me to y'all

For me, one of the things that's really helping me get over my hatred for my singing voice (still working on it), is, like she said, working on it, but also, exposure to it. Like, I can hate it when I hear it on a tape the first time, but by the seventh or eighth time, I might not hate it as much. I don't know if that helps anyone else, but listening to it, trying new things and singing stuff you love, and stuff you are comfortable singing really helps me.

Hi! I have only been in a couple shows, but the few shows where I have had a part that was not ensemble, I have played the (kind of stupid), funny character who helps the villain. I have watched many videos of yours on how to get into character, and things like that to prepare for the show I am in, but I feel like it mostly only applies to characters who are more serious, and characters who are not frequently comedic. Could you do a video on how to prepare for characters like that? It would really help, especially since I do not have very much experience acting. Also, I know you are a soprano, and don’t usually belt, but I am an alto, but I can not belt, so if you could do a video on that too that would help as well.

Hi Kat!! first off I love you so much you are such an amazing person. So I really love theater and I feel like my time is running out do be able to pursue anything in it. I took dance classes when I was younger for a long time but I was never trained in ballet. there aren’t many vocal coaches by me to get me voice where it needs to be and I hate right my voice right know and I don’t really know what to do

I had a similar situation happen to me in high school where I was in a musical and had a solo duet with a guy. And I was super anxious and just not confident with my singing and the teacher stops playing the song and in front of the whole cast she shouts at me “why can’t you be confident and sing like him (my singing partner)?”. Basically making my young self feel like I instantly wasn’t even good enough to do what I truly wanted to do. 3yrs later I still struggle with performing and feeling like I’m good enough; but I know my potential and what I’m worth as a performer. Teachers are supposed to lift you up, not let you down.

Love the video! #theatrethursdayfam starting a show next week! ❤️

on an unrelated note let me just say I love your hair it’s freakin gorgeous, but I also have a question. I know that if you’re set about going into musical theater as a career you have to train, but how do u decide if that’s really what you want to do in life? like I’ve been dancing for 12 years and am about to start voice lessons and have been in all 3 high school shows available to me and I love it, but going down this road for a career is risky. how can you weigh the pros and cons? thanks!

VERY LOADED QUESTION: i’m in highschool and i go to an all-girl’s school, and i’m always the tallest one in the room, so i feel like the director might not see me as the right fit for a specific disney princess in a musical, which is a role i really think i fit and could bring a new take to this character. however, of course there is going to be competition for the role with girls who have similar backgrounds in musical theater as i do and are shorter than me. are my suspicions and worries valid and what more could i do to ensure my role other than “preparation”?

Advice?- I usually do two musicals one at my community theatre and one at my school. This year they might be at the same time and I don’t know what to do. My community theatre is doing frozen and I would love to do it plus I’m super close to all my friends there. We’re getting a new school theatre teacher so idk if we’re doing a fall play or musical and idk when it will be. But last year I did Chicago at school and it was like the best experience ever so I really wanna do my school show. If I commit to frozen it will before school auditions and idek if I would get in bc I’m an underclassman and it’s really hard especially if it’s a play with a smaller cast. So if I don’t do frozen and I pick school I could be left with nothing. Sorry that was a lot lol but what do u think I should do.

Kath!! Wondering if you have any advise for me! I’m about to be a freshman in high school, and I’m pursuing the theatre program! I’m terrified, and hoping you could share some advice! Love you and your channel!😁💕

I really love doing theatre, but it’s hard for me to put myself out there among people I don’t know, which is why I stick with my school’s theatre program. I tried a two week theatre camp last summer, and it was hard for me to fully participate in improv games and other activities because I felt uncomfortable. I want to get better and I know that I should start community theater to get more experience, but I’m afraid of being alone, and I feel like I’m not going to allow myself to perform at the level I know I can perform at. Do you have any tips?💕 (I hope that made sense)
