Yes, ever auditioned for anything? I did once, for the part of ‘Dr Who’ at the BBC. For some reason they didn’t hire me… My audition tape is below:-

As crazy as this sounds, I had to audition for this moderator's position. TJ was worse than Simon Cowell. I had no problem having to do the tap dance routine, but when he insisted on me singing that song from Annie, 'Tomorrow' wearing that red wig, I felt that was a little much.

I think the only reason I passed the audition was because TJL failed his big Showtune Medley. That guy can't carry a tune to save his life.

Junior year of high school I auditioned for the Vareity show. I perfromed (vocal and guitar) "Imagine" by John Lennon. I though I gave a good audition but the director of the show must have thought other wise, because I was not picked to be in the show. It was rumored though that the director, who was also the choir teacher, tended only to pick his choir students. I was not in choir, I was in band.

You definatly aren't an Annie. I would cast you more as a Mary from Jesus Christ Superstar

Oh suuure. Blame me. I carried you so much, you should change your name to "American Tourister!"

This is the last time I work with anybody.

I'll be in my trailer!

Here’s another audition I sent of me playing ‘Dr Who’, this time featuring a DALEK!

Senior year of high school, for "Guys and Dolls". To this day I dunno what possessed me--don't like the show anyway. (They did "Dracula" when I was a sophomore, shoulda gone for that LOL!)

I was in choir too, but that didn't help--choir director said he couldn't hear me in the fourth row! End of my singing career, absolutely LOL!

BTW I loooooved Dr. Who (with Tom Baker)!

*gasp* EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!!

I auditioned for a solo in our "musical", which was more of a large medley of musical songs, and got it. I've also auditioned twice for the actual musical, and not gotten anything both times

I auditioned for choir in high school, but I also auditioned for a little extra part in Mr. 3000. Actually at the time I just thought I was auditioning to be an extra in the crowd, but after I found out I wasn't. I didn't get any part, not surprisingly!

dawsongirl · 02-18-2005, 11:04 PM

I was always auditioning for plays in JH and HS.

I auditioned for swing choir in JH, though I have no idea why. I can't even sing, let alone sing and dance at the same time.
