Katymac Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks for making it smaller Julie - sorry everyone it was so big!!! But you can see why a Ballet Bun is 'interesting' & how changing her style is tricky!! BTW her hair is 'up' in the photo (spelling ) Edited November 19, 2013 by Katymac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 What a beautiful young lady ! All the very best for the auditions, I hope she enjoys them. x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 She is stunning katymac, but I can see getting her gorgeous hair into a bun may be a challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramascientist Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Wow Katymac, what a stunner! She will get away with murder with that face! Best of luck with her auditions and kkep writing, your posts make me smile! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 She will get away with murder with that face! Umm she does She is a poppet at the Halls on Saturday all the FT students were giving her 'tips' to help with auditions (mainly walk in like you own the place!) and they felt sure she would be with them 'at proper college' next year - the funniest thing was none of them had seen her dance, they said they were judging purely on the way she looked & stood!!

Katymac Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks everyone - but it does make my concerns about tricky hair more understandable (I hope) She did a complete run through in front of half her class & her dance teacher tonight......it did not go well!! Forgotten words (both songs & monologues) stopping for a mistake, laughing mid song.......oh dear; apparently singing in front of people you don't know is easier!

Legseleven Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Definitely easier to sing and act in front of people you don't know - and there will be no urge to laugh mid-song in an audition ;-) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katymac Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Minor emergency - 3 teachers (2 singing, 1 dance) have said her audition song is not good enough!! Leading to lots of singing to find a better one Fortunately one of her alternatives is much, much better & she prefers it.....just the other song is her current 'favourite', a year ago this would have been a major trauma but now it was just a discussion about 'how much better is this song' & 'which would you rather listen to' & 'it's obviously better and easier to sing' My baby is growing up!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Is it the lion king one they say isn't suitable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Yes - it just isn't strong enough; we don't know if it's the key or the song itself but it just isn't working. Back to an old favourite that she sings well (& much better than ever before) plus an Andrew Lloyd Webber (which isn't always a popular choice) but she does sing it nicely Edited to add Not sure it's not suitable - rather it's just not her best!

Picturesinthefirelight Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 It's not really the sort of song you'd use for an audition to he honest. I sort if hinted at that before but guess I didn't come straight out and say it as your dd did seem determined to sing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 It's OK I've been saying it straight out.......but I'm only 'the mother' I think it's too performancy & needs a full stage! (you know; people, music, sets, costumes, etc) The other big problem we have is the level of movement - her last singing teacher was the hands down by her sides and stand there, this one wants more movement - DD wants to full on dance.........

dramascientist Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I would say characterise but dont dance ie. "act the part" of the song and communicate with the audience but I belive it would be too much to dance. Also takes a huge amount of breathe control to sing and dance together! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 What is she singing now, or would you prefer not to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Definatly don't dance unless specified as they will be looking for different things in the singing audition. Being able to act the sing is important. It probably will be the vocal/drama staff doing that part if the audition not dance staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Think the first one is always the worst. Positive feedback which is always nice. Now the waiting begins for the letter to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachaelballet12 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hi Katymac pleased your DD audition went well was she asked to stay to see physio what time did te audition finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 There was no mention of a physio bit - is that because it's for the 6th form not the Level 6? She left at 2:30 - it was due to end at 3:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachaelballet12 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Ah not sure just wandered . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 I checked. They went into separate groups (MT/4 Alevels/Dance) did their prepared pieces, had individual interviews & left after that. DD was the last to leave in her group.
