Help! I'm auditoning for Marian for Music Man junior any tips?

Answer 1

MARIAN IS A GREAT ROLE AND "MUSIC MAN" IS SUCH A FUN SHOW TO DO!

OK  - SOME AUDITION TIPS:

MARIAN IS A VERY "PROPER" FEMININE GIRL - SO STAND UP VERY,VERY STRAIGHT AND TALL!

THE CHARACTER IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE UPTIGHT - SHE IS A LIBRARIAN.

WEAR A LONG SUMMER SKIRT TO THE AUDITION - NOT JEANS OR SHORTS OR A SHORT SKIRT. IT IS A PERIOD PIECE AND YOU WILL BE WEARING LONG SKIRTS AND DRESSES IN THE SHOW - IT WILL HELP YOU MOVE BETTER AND LOOK THE PART.

IF YOU HAVE LONG HAIR - WEAR IT UP IN A BUN.

PRACTICE SINGING ( HOPEFULLY WITH A VOICE COACH)  MARIAN'S SONGS ARE VERY PRETTY AND REQUIRE A SMOOTH, LYRICAL 2ND SOPRANO VOICE

"GOODNIGHT MY SOMEONE" IS A GREAT SONG FROM THE SHOW - SING IT VERY SWEETLY -

DON'T "PUSH" YOUR VOICE.

RENT THE MOVIE TOO - IT'S REALLY A FUN ALL AMERICAN SHOW. WATCH MARIAN - THE WAY SHE MOVES - VERY GIRLY IN AN OLD FASHIONED WAY.

HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!
