• Pounds to lose before Monday - 25 (HA!)

Edit:  Here's the song.  Apologies to Irving Berlin.  http://dracoandginny.com/persephone33/auditionsong.mp3

I've really only wanted a part this badly ONCE before.  It did not go well, as I still have not played Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.  Good thoughts, huh, f-list?  I'm not usually needy, but the good vibes will go a LOOOOONG way.

Why not record the song and get some critiques? Or, more likely, lavish praise.

*hugs* I know you'll do fantastic!

You know, there is a story that Cass Elliott couldn't hit this one note unitl she hit her head one time. After that she could reach it. However, I suspect that's total crap, so please don't go smashing your head into things.

*hugs* Good luck!

Lots and lots and lots of luck to you!!! *snuggles*

Good luck, both with the audition and with trying to keep yourself sane until then! I'll be sending positive energy your way!

Good luck!! I'm sending you lots of positive energy. Besides I heard being insane is a good thing for actors. ;) As for the clothes to wear, that's 12 less outfits you'd have to worry about. :)

You will be fine!

Lots and lots and lots of good luck over here! *points to huge corner of LJ :P*

You will do fine, hun. I was in a production of Into the Woods, and had a blast.

I am sure, even if you do not get the role you want, you will have an amazing time. It is such a fun musical...

*grumbles about lucky Perse seeing Bernadette Peters*

*sends positive energy* You'll do just fine :)

I listened to it (yes, me with my phobia about downloading things for fear of running over our monthly download limit and incurring much fines) and you sound FINE. I was fully prepared for something warbly and out of tune, but you sounded lovely and very you (ask Myn about my singing if you want. She has a copy of me singing Merry Christmas and it's not pretty). Your voice is clear and so are the notes. You project confidence and energy. One thing to watch for (it might just be the lack of accompaniment, though AND I don't know the song), sometimes you go a bit monotone. Have confidence, girl, I do! All the best of luck! Will be praying extra hard on Sunday (or is it Monday for me?)! G'LUCK!

Oh... and I know a girl who's taken intensive singing lessons and she says to sing up the scale every day, pushing your range either way to try to broaden it. Just don't overdo it, otherwise you'll damage your voice!

I thought you did very well. The build up to the ending was really good.

Hey you never know how good you are at anything till you try! All the very best and keep us posted!

I love Into the Woods! It's one of my favorite musicals. I hope you get a part in it; I'm rooting for you.
