Theater & Acting - November 2007

im a girl alto singer.
and im having a hard time finding the right song to sing for auditions.
auditions are november 17th so i have very little time to prepare. But the requirments are it has to be a song from a musical and i wanted to do "hold me tight" from the musical movie "across the universe" but when i suggested it to her she said i could do it but it wouldn't be a good choice so....thats where i am right now.

If you know any songs that would a good choice to sing please post the name of the song and the musical it is from.

Thanks so much

My daughter is 11 and she dreams of becoming a singer. She talks about all this going big stuff, and getting an agent. Is she too young though? Because i really don't know. Just a simple yes or no, and an explanation will do it. Thanks!

I remember that men were 'actors' and women were 'actresses'...lately. I've noticed that they are ALL actors now.

How long until waitresses are called waiters?

I'm seventeen and I've lost faith in my dream. I have always loved film and always believed to have some sort of gift in what I love. I've always desired to become a film director, but see my dream drifting from me. My dad wants me to be a lawyer or politician because I'm good at public speeking, I'm good at debating and I have a love for english. I have found a good degree at UTS that combines the studies of law and media and believe this is my route. However, I lack comittment and believe that 95% UAI is a crazy figure to reach. I know I can get close but still have my doubts. The dilema that I'm facing is the fact that I'm too lazy, too optomistic in my approach to everything I do and "want to be famous". But the more I think about my situation, the more I feel discouraged, and therefore believe the dream of becoming a famous director is not what I want. Please help me.

Any tips on how to help them find the characters in these complex works. I thought after doing Godot that these would be a breeze but I am hitting a brick wall....please help

My 13 year old daughter really wants to get into the acting business. She has been taking drama classes and gets good comments from the teacher. I was wondering what do modeling and acting agencies look for in a child because she also wants to do some modeling. She is about 4'10 and weighs 80 pounds so she is on the petite side plus she looks very young for her age.
