Awesome tips ive had been dancing professional years back still miss dancing was also judged by one of strictly come dancing superstars when I was dancing my exams now I'm entering a dancing competition and little bit stress what song should I use im all the way from south Africa and i love dancing and acting as well.
Hi, Benton! Range, technique and storytelling... great tips! I'm casting in Brazil for The Sound of Music (Uncle Max character). Should I bring anything from the show prepared? I saw the show on TV when I was a kid and just have 18 days till audition day 1. Should I worry about nailing first moment with any song? I have chosen 3 options: a) Oh, what a beautiful morning (Oklahoma), Coffee Shop Nights (Curtains) and Stars (Les Mis), but actually I have no idea if I should pick something else... I had thought of On the streets where you live (My fair lady), but I am really unsure. Could you let me hear your opinion? I in my 40s now. What sound appropriate for an awesome audition? I'd be thankful to hear from you! Many thanks! (Desperate Jeff rs)
