Cab Auditions

I have an audition next week for Cabaret.  It’s nice to know that at least my picture get me in the door.  And now with the confidence of having gotten at least 1 callback in my life I can go forth and prosper.  At this time I feel really good about this upcoming auditions.   I have 10 whole minutes to sing 2 contrasting songs and do a monologue.  Isn’t this exciting?  I found the most perfect monologue from the play Charge.  It’s so funny and soo me.  I love it.  I can’t wait to do it.  Now the tricky part.  The song selection.  Ok so they said 2 songs from the genre/style.  So I’m going to sing ‘Fever’ but I’m also going to sing ‘Holding Out For a Hero’ which is not at all in the genre/style but it got me the callback last time and I sing it really well.  It’s a tough call but I think I should go for at least one song that I sing well.  The tricky part will be the accompaniment.  It was easy to sing the song acapella.  I have a singing lesson Saturday and next Tuesday but I need to find someone who can play the instrumental for me (for free) before then.  Or I could practice using the tracks on youtube but that’s always so tricky.  Maybe I could ask who the accompanist will be.  But I bet everyone and there mother will be trying to schedule something with that person.  Oh well might as well try.  At this moment I feel good about the odds.  You know I’ll check back those feelings have changed.  But I am holding ferociously onto my hopefulness…until the bitter end.
