If I don't get the role on my first audition, I will keep trying to get a role. I will believe in myself and I won't give up. I will make sure my dream comes true.
i've tried out and it's on this account but like it looks awful
With theater, comes endless rejection.
you go girl

Best of luck🍀
My tips :
1. Wear something that slightly resembles the person you’re auditioning for. (It helps)
2. When you can pick your schedule for and audition always choose the one after lunch because the Judges are happy because they’ve eaten and in a good mood (picking the last one is not really effective because all the judges wanna go home and they’re tired)
3. Always prepare a second song of a different music genre. Also you need the second song just in case the song you were supposed to sing will be sung by everyone ( Singing a song that a lot of other people are singing would lead to comparison like “oh this person sang it better” or also the judges being like “not this again”)
4. Learn fast because some auditions will make you memorize a song in just a minute and ask you to sing.
5. Even though you’re really nervous and have no idea what to do act like you do. (Fake it till you make it).
6. Arriving on time is late. Always be early.
7. People getting the main roles are usually leaders. So practice your leadership.
8. Have good conduct because even if you’re the best singer or dancer once you act rude it’s game over. Be like someone everyone would want to work with.
9. People can be mean and rude. Always be prepared to be yelled at.
10. For your photo you can edit it to make yourself look nice but don’t edit it too much. Look like yourself.
11. If you can’t reach that high note but you really wanna do that one song, try changing it a bit to fit your vocal range.
12. Do research on the play and the person that you’re auditioning for.
anak ng tatay Number 9 is so true our MD threw a pen at someone for talking haha
thank youuuuu i want to join theater so i will definitely take these into account!
Thank you i have an audition coming up 👍
On #11, DONT add more volume/power if its out of your range. It will come out strained and flat. Use breath control and drop your jaw/lift your soft pallet if you wanna hit that note correctly.
her: have no expectations
me: i expect to not get the role
Hey Alyson, it's quite normal to feel that way, but what could you be thinking instead? Challenge yourself to come up with a different script for you. Try it out, see where it takes you.
Psychologically, if you tell yourself you're not gonna get a role, it decreases your chance of actually getting it.
@@kennapersonal true.
expect the possiblity of getting it but not PERFECT
she reminds me of Winona Ryder
Omg I just realize that
Omg yeah she does
she reminds me of voiceoverpete a little at the beginning first minute with the hand gestures and whatnot
YESS! 1. love ur profile photo and name. 2. ST!!!!!
Your right!
This is good advice not just for auditions but to apply to life in general! With my first audition EVER coming up, it was really helpful. Thanks !
+evan lewis YAY!!! You're going to do great! Break a leg!
My first audition is coming up in three days! Btw, how did the audition go??
This is my first kpop audition experience ahah
How did it go?
Did you get it?
I absolutely love this women.
Absolutely love you!!
Micaela Pastore *woman
me too!
Micaela Pastore I absolutely agree
*woman
My next audition is in an hour! Pray for me!
I just literally passed an audition by watching this video... ♥️ Thank you!!!
Diana Leoport what did you audition for????
For me, it's really tough to sing in front of people, because I'm scared they might laugh at what I'm doing or something like that and IDK what to do could you please help me?
+emma zepeda That's totally normal! The best thing you can do is build off of your strengths already...Sing in front of people that you TRUST to be supportive, and sing a song you know that you can do well! You want to anchor the feeling of comfort with baby steps. The possibility that people are not going to embrace your awesomeness is always present...Unfortunately, you can't please everyone. But you can be happy with who you are and what you have to offer! Here's a video that I hope will help a little more...ruclips.net/video/7VjLv6Yu75E/видео.html Thanks so much for watching! I can't wait to hear you sing!
emma zepeda SAME
Well not exactly the same...
I not scared to sing in front of casting directors or any thing but singing in front of a class is a whole different story
My top tip for you is to put yourself into the people listenings shoes. Would you laugh 8f some9ne screwed up? Probably not. Just keep that in mind!
emma zepeda same here but i couldn’t sing in front of people i know, i feel better singing in front of strangers
Keep singing. The more you do it the less your brain kicks into “fight or flight” and the more natural the audition process becomes. 👍
The thing I struggle with is confidence, and I'm not even considering an audition. I enjoyed the video though! Thank you.
Cali Christmas have u want to great wolf lodge
Same
I did too when I started acting but now I love it🧡
On May 19. I'm going to have a audition. For disney

15 years old and trying to get a "the voice" audition by 16
bro
Keep practicing and listen to Madeline videos! Verbal vocal is also good. Don't drink milk for a day or two before auditions, and eat healthy food like chicken, spinach, honey, eggs, etc
Oh same!!
Wish you luc- wait this was posted 2 years ago....
wait i want an update 😂
Madeleine, you're like a kindergarten teacher for adults, the teacher that reaches our inner child and really teaches us. I feel like you don't have a judgemental bone in your body. Thank you!
I'm only 12 right now but in the future when I go to high school I want to be in musicals. My dream job is to be an actress. I'm learning many things from you ♡ Thanks 😊
0w0 i have a adition tomorrow 😞
Oh same- I really like your pfp! I’m auditioning for Laurens tomorrow at camp-
Same
Bro same I’m just 13 now I’ve been doing theatre in school this is my third year I stayed up all last night watching videos like this and how to become one and about headshots and self film and agencies and things
Completely Happy where did your camp get the rights to perform Hamilton? Just wondering.
Seems like she knows how to sign language! Shes so very animated and great! Thanks for the tips!!!!!!
mzHipHop she wasn’t actually doing sign lol she’s just doing a bunch of hand gestures 😂
Great advice on not pointing out / highlighting your mistakes. I learned that I do this as a way to say "Hey man... I KNOW that was a mistake - I'm at least good enough to know that it was a mistake". I'm trying to get better.
You should do a video on how to choose the right song for YOU and your audition.!
I have an audition tomorrow thank you so much
So how'd it go?
I might be auditioning on YG Entertainment next year.
jungkook's broken phones I wanna audition for SM global audition in 2018 FIGHTING army

THANK YOU SO MUCH. this is going to help me a lot, and I felt so great to be in my own skin, listening to this amazing words of kindness... THANK YOU A LOT, ILYSM. you gained a fan. ❤
+Alex elisa russo YAY!!! I'm so glad you liked it! For me, that's the biggest part...just feeling comfortable being me, in my own skin and sharing that with others. I look forward to hearing you sing!
thank you so so much for your life lesson! And yes.. perhaps next year you'll see me at X-Factor! (the italian one)
however, kisses xx
I agree with you on every thing you said! This is so helpful :D
I was having a little problem lately because people kept staring at me for no apparent reason...
With this video I just found out why xD
By the way, truth has been spoken! I agree on everything.
:3
+Michele Panarosa You must radiate confidence! Own it! ; ) Thank you for your kind words!
thus video is so helpful this In January 2017 I will be auditioning for a performing arts high school
Break a leg! You'll do awesome!
+Madeleine Harvey hopefully I'm kind of having doubts I don't think my voice good enough
Don't waste your precious energy on "good enough" keep your eye on the prize and go for it! Either way, you will learn so much and get better and better every time you put yourself out there! You're a star in the making!
+Madeleine Harvey aww thank u
Me too! Good luck!
Make sure you choose a song that is good for that character. For example if you’re auditioning for Alice don’t sing a belting song. If you can’t figure out what song to do, you can look up songs for that role on the internet. Also if you have the opportunity to read the script, make sure you memorize the long paragraphs because casting directors are more likely to have you read long paragraphs for your first audition.
That advice you give is so clear, im like omg " THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE" and i always enjoy viewing you videos. You are such a light. Shine on Queen Harvey
Thank you so much for giving a breakthrough that I have been waiting for. You said to be comfortable with attention. I have never thought about all of this in that context before because I have been trying to figure out what is keeping me from learning and pursuing the career of singing and acting. I just realize I am not comfortable with attention with people looking at me or thinking of the possible thoughts of my performance, when stepping back on stage in years with little experience. So thank so much for your advice and now I can finally have goal to get comfortable with attention that will help me finally to start living my destiny with no fear or insecurities.
This has helped me so much! I'm a student in middle school, and I'm not huge on acting, but I want to be well-rounded. I had no idea how to act, sing, or what people look for in auditions, but this little series has helped me a lot! Thank you!
I've been with theatre for a few months and I plan to start auditioning for things soon. So, thank you for the help!
Can you do a video on how to sing riffs and runs pleeeaaase??
+Arturo Valdivia YES! Would love to!
TYSM!!!!
These are such good tips! Valuable both in LA, New York and even in London. There are many differences on the business between the 3 cities, but these tips do apply everywhere. Very very good! Thank you.
This was such a great and needed video. Thank you so much! Now I will go and apply everything to my very first audition......(smiling)
Madeleine, thank you! Not only do you give advice that is authentic and true, but you do so with such confidence and elegance. Your personality and positivity are truly inspiring! Thank you for this extremely helpful video. I speak for all of us when I say it’s the information we needed!
Wow those were really great advices! I felt so good knowing that I'm gonna audition in a few hours and I am bringing with me the words of wisdom you just shared. Thank you so much for this video! It's such a blessing. YOU ARE A BLESSING! 🙏
This had a great impact on me. I have always dreaded auditioning, but now I don't feel that dread! Especially when you said to make "friends". I had never considered that before. Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this video!!!
Madeline you are more than a vocal coach. You are a sharply intelligent, mindful, intuitive, all-around likeable person and your holistic approach to the voice has helped me in ways you will never understand. Thank you! 🙏🏽
I have never seen something that makes this big of a change for my acting passion! This is great!!!
wow. this vid actually made me feel more calm. Thank you for this!
You're absolutely amazing! Thank you for this really helpful advice❤
Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate how you not only gave UNIQUE tips, you also explained them and told us how the tips can be useful and how we can use those tips. I have two very important auditions coming up, and they’re all that’s been on my mind lately. Keep up the great work!

I only started musical theater about 5 months ago at the end of my senior year, and later this month I'm auditioning for my university's theater program. You have been such a help over the past few days haha, keep doing what you're doing, you're amazing!!
Dear Madeleine, I love you beyond this world! I'm a yoga instructor, I also teach art and recently I learned that I can sing - who knew? I sing from my center with my all body even do my voice isn't that awesome, I think is the energy what people feel - that are calling me a great singer. I found your videos to be extremely helpful in all these 3 areas of my life. I'm very grateful for you, thank you for being such a wonderful soul and thank you for helping us and teaching us to open even more to our greatest potential. So much love and blessings!

A little Preparation, and a dash of imagination- Madeleine Harvey
My new life motto
this is the most helpful advice i have ever heard in my entire life . thank you . ❤️
Thank you!! This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Wonderful lesson and insight!
Hey thank you! This has brighten up my day. I’ve been in multiple auditions, and always get the part. But this time, I didn’t, of course I was devastated, but I wanted to give a chance to the others too. And from that, I tried to know what I did wrong, and this really helped. Thx
Thank you sooooooo much I've got an audition coming up and those helpful words of wisdom are giving me a chance
PS love your name
Thank you so much!!! This helped sooo much!!!
This was SO helpful and really went beyond the obvious tips that I have already heard. Thank you!!!! I feel like you should be a life coach/counselor! :) thank for your sharing your great insights
That was excellent. Well put together, well presented. Well thought out.
Thank you so much for the tips! I love acting! I have auditions later and I can’t wait to see what following your tips will help me accomplish!
Amazing ! Enjoyed your ideas and your voice is so soothing
Thank you so much! In two days I am auditioning against my friend who I know is better than me and u made me feel confident and supported.
To elaborate more on her thoughts about mistakes and uncomfortable feelings...THINK POSITIVE and it will spark creative thoughts, ideas, plans, and goals...Love how she spoke about the unknown...you must journey into the unknown with the Casting Director and return...
You are so eloquent. thank you for your words!
Flavia! Thanks so much!!! I appreciate that! (I giggle because in between takes, I stutter, fumble, curse out loud, forget my words or my mind just goes totally blank!) My goal is always clarity of thought though, and I'm so glad you enjoyed this! I can't wait to hear you sing!
thank you this gives me so much more confidence
I absolutely love this.This can also use in our everyday life.This is really helpful.
Best way to teach this lesson glad I chose this video amazing!
