There are so many ways to sing the same song, and honestly, that’s the fun part.

You get to decide who you’re talking to, what you want, and what is happening in the world of the song. Try a few different stories. Make different choices. See what actually feels honest to you.

Your audience does not need to know every single detail in your head. They are going to connect the song to their own experiences anyway.

But the more specific you are, the more they will feel it.

That is what pulls people into a performance. Not just singing the notes correctly, but knowing exactly why you are singing them.

I do not agree with this AT ALL! If someone isn’t comfortable with you taking up space (as long as you know what you’re doing with it - with intention and purpose) they needn’t be watching!!! Put your hand in a pocket?!?! I’m sorry but no.

Why does my brain have 10,000 useful things it could remember...but instead it chooses The Nanny theme song?

It's awkward...very awkward...

I can't emphasize enough how important choosing the right audition song is. You don't want the silence to be louder than the song.

When you perform a duet for a solo audition, I can hear every missing response, and instead of focusing on your acting, your voice, and the choices you’re making, I’m left trying to fill in half of the scene.

These hats are not mine permanently. They are rentals and I WILL be returning them to the universe as soon as possible.

But sometimes leadership means stepping into whatever role keeps the show moving, even if that role involves Kohl’s, ice, and a vacuum.

The curtain goes up whether you’re ready or not.

Ever wondered how to make an audition song feel like it was made for you, even when it comes from a completely different show?

Start by giving it a new story.

Who are you talking to? What do you want from them? What are you trying to make happen?

That is where the song starts to feel less like “I picked this because it shows my range” and more like “I have something to say.”

A strong audition cut is not just about sounding good. It is about making clear choices that help the room understand who you are as a performer.

Today’s episode of “jobs I did not apply for”

Being in charge of children’s theatre means making approximately 900 decisions a day, and today one of them involved the sky.

I would like less responsibility and a better forecast, please.

Audition rule of thumb: don’t make the room work harder than it needs to.

Pick a song that lets them see YOUR choices, YOUR voice, and YOUR storytelling. Just YOU.

Save the duets for the car ride home.

Some people measure success by awards, reviews, standing ovations…

Apparently, I measure mine by being trusted with opinions about paint.

No clue why they sent me this.

Another day, another update… and another series I need help naming 😬
