HELPFUL AUDITION TIPS FROM OUR MUSIC DIRECTOR
Hello! My name is Mrs. McCormick, and I will be your Music Director for Shrek! I am so excited to hear all if you sing at auditions! There are five song options: please PICK ONE. Choose the SONG THAT SHOWS OFF YOUR VOICE THE BEST and don't stress; everyone will be considered for all roles, regardless of the piece you sing for the audition. Don't forget to show us your acting while you are singing.
*Reminder: please sing your song the first time in your BEST VOICE, not as a character. We may ask you to sing a second time as a certain character, or you can offer to show us your amazing character voice. But do always act, every time you sing.
1. Big Bright Beautiful World
0:45-1:17
https://youtu.be/DmqIQLqlHuA
--guys or girls, just sing all the lines, regardless of whether they are meant for Mama or Papa Ogre.
(For people who shine on low notes)
2. Big Bright Beautiful World, Shrek
3:50-4:20
https://youtu.be/DmqIQLqlHuA
Especially for the guys whose voices have started changing, but this could be sung by anyone (guys or girls), either in the low octave that Shrek sings, or the higher octave if you want to show off your high notes.
3. Story of My Life"
0:32-0:55
https://youtu.be/aFctRfh-aWs
Pinocchio's first verse, starting with "Outed by my nose."
For anyone, guys or girls. Middle voice range.
Let us know if you want to sing it acting as any character other than Pinnochio!
*Please focus on showing us the good SINGING you can do, without trying to mimick the voice of any character first. If you want to show us your amazing Pinnochio, Mama Bear, Gingi, or any other fairytale creature voice, you can sing it a second time that way. :)
4. Star Spangled Banner
Anyone, guys or girls. You may pick a character to act as if you wish.
5. America the Beautiful
Anyone, guys or girls. You may pick a character to act as if you wish.
