I have this audition coming up on Wednesday, for a musical at our local theatre, Return to the Forbidden Planet, and I've been really excited/nervous for it. But I have no idea what to sing D:.

 

As for my voice, I'm no Freddie Mercury, but when I'm on the stage and getting into my role, people say I sound a lot better then when I sing off stage. I try to make my signing more.. theatrical.

 

So the role I want to hopefully get is Doctor Prospero. Google it if you want to find out a bit more about it.

 

A few songs I've been thinking of doing are

Sweet Transvestite, from The Rocky Horror Show

Whatever Happened to Saturday Night, from RHS again

and Make Em' Laugh from Singing in the Rain.

 

So anyone else here who has experience in this sort of stuff, some advice would be greatly appreciated, as I'm nervous as hell for this. But I'm happy with any advice from anyone.

Awesome song line-up. And I haven't seen Forbidden Planet in forever. I'll have to see if it's on Netflix...

 

I'm actually in acting classes right now, and my sister's a theater major. Unfortunately... I have no acting stage experience. But I'd imagine it's not that different from concert performances or performing medical procedures. Just keep a cool head, don't look into the lights, and practice!

 

And don't screw up Meatloaf. I like that song.
