Audition

If you are on a show, especially one as popular as such as the Netflix series Orange Is The New Black, one is sure to get a lot of attention. And such is the case with Samira Wiley, the actress who plays Poussey Washington in the series. But how does she handle all the media attention and fame? Well, going with what the hot actress had to say in an interview, she’s quite not used to fame. Walking down the street [now] is such a different thing than walking down the street two years ago," she…

When I first began participating in community theatre, I almost immediately noticed a change in myself. The first time I attended an audition, the friendly and accepting atmosphere shocked me. The openness of the theatre community was infectious. After being introverted and shy for my entire life, I suddenly found myself at ease around near strangers. Since entering the world of theatre, I have become exceedingly more confident and outspoken. This has enabled me to assume positions of leadership…

How boring would life be without musical theatre entertainment? I can answer that—boring. Entertainment in this industry has proved the world that musical theatre is just as amusing as a football event played on the weekends. Acquiring a job in this field can be difficult, but with hard work it can be done. Musical theatre has been around for a long time and has changed over decades. Entertainment in this industry started in the nineteenth century and still thrives today. It started off…

Music is a huge part of my life, singing especially. It plays into my emotions and the way I look at the world around me. I know that music will continue to be a necessary and amazing piece of me. I started singing in my elementary school choir. At the time, I disliked it, because I was not very good a sitting still for long periods of time. Now I am thankful for my music teacher, who brought me into the magical world of music and singing. Singing is something I care about because I can express…

found a cool similarity in these books too, both of their names end with e-l-l-a. In Cinderella: The Graphic novel and The glass voice there is something both of the main characters want to do. Ella wants to go to the ball, and Chantella wants to go audition. Their step mothers try to stop them, but at the end they have a happily ever after. I have also found some differences in The Glass Voice and Cinderella: The Graphic Novel. In Cinderella: The Graphic Novel Ella is in the time where there…

advanced class. Auditions began quickly; Sue never wasted time. “Today we will be auditioning for lyrical and jazz performing groups.” Sue started. “I’ve already seen most of you dance throughout this year, but this audition is still important. Just remember to relax and dance for yourself.” We started with lyrical, one of my favorite styles. Abbie, a teacher at the studio taught a familiar combination to us. After reviewing it a few times, we split into groups and started the audition. The…

a mix of music, dreams and jarring reality. Director Damien Chazelle intertwined the essence of Hollywood and an enthralling love story into one epic tale. The scenes I am analysing are Someone in the crowd, Mia is late or her date and Mia’s big audition Chazelle makes the most of basic camera movement such as tracking and panning shots. The best example of tracking shots is in Someone in the crowd scene. We track the dancing and singing action through the house, making it feel like a live…

You didn’t have music prepared so your mom came right before your audition and found a youtube karaoke video you could use that you hadn’t practiced with. Not to mention, your mom yelled at you in front of all the other kids who were auditioning. You had previously practiced the song with your friend a couple times one day. One day is not enough practice. Trust me. You got into your audition and one of the judges was your 5th grade teachers. You weren’t very nervous until you…

I always say, "There 's nothing like a good indie film." Well, at least, that 's what I say this year. I have only discovered the wonderful world of indie films in the past few months, but I 'm sold. When I happened upon the film How Can I Help? I was intrigued by the title and the premise. Furthermore, when Stephen Kassen (director, producer, writer, etc.) agreed to answer a few questions about the film, I was even more fascinated. With pleasure, he apprised me to a variety of things concerning…

When I went in for the audition, there were two adults sitting in chairs. I really thought that I would get the part because I have blonde hair and I’m pretty skinny. After I finished the audition I felt really good. The adults were also smiling and were writing a lot after I finished. When I walked off the floor, other people auditioned and when they were done, the last people were Austin and Shylise. Shylise was also auditioning for Beauty. When I watched her audition it was really...cringy.…
