Audition Tip #2; Don't practice on the day.
Don’t go over your songs and/or monologues on the day of your audition. This seems counter-intuitive, but if you’ve been practicing religiously up to this point, working on your monologue right before going into the room will only psych you out.

Wow. I don’t know. I usually just memorize it. But then I do tend towards over-preparedness.

Richard III quote from Act III sc. 1 as written by Shakespeare:

A new planet found about 36 light-years away could be one of the most Earthlike worlds yet—if it has enough clouds, a new study says.

Linguistic map of Southeastern Europe over the centuries, from Wikipedia.
“One interesting and useful feature of the Occitan language is its virtually infinite ability to create new words through a number of interchangeable and imbeddable suffixes.”

Audition Tip #1; Shoes
When practicing your monologues or songs, wear the shoes you intend to wear at the audition.
You don’t want those fabulous four-inch heels, or hard-soled dress shoes to throw you off on the day.
also for the added hilarity of your roommate waking in on you reciting Shakespeare in your pajamas and high-heels.

this is amazing. Colin bby <3
Best one yet!
