I did this show back in July. I was Mary Patrick myself but the girl in our cast who played Mary Roberts was just incredible and I have so much love for her
Lucia Malfetana ur audition is prob done but you’d wanna crop it def where ur strong parts are, but if you couldn’t belt the notes then i wouldn’t recommend it. a strong belt would rlly make this song and woah ur listeners :)
I've never talked back, I've never slept late, I've never sat down when told to stand straight I've never let go and gone with the flow, and don't even know, really, why. I've never asked questions, or taken a dare. I've never worn clothes that might make people stare. I've never rebelled, or stood up and yelled, or even just held my head high. And all of the feelings unspoken, all of the truths unsaid, they're all I have left of the life I never led. I've never gone surfing, or ran with a crowd. Or danced on a table, or laughed much too loud. I've never quite dared to leave myself bared - I've just been too scared I might fall, I've never seen Paris, swum naked, been kissed. I've never quite realised just how much I've missed And what did I get for hedging each bet? Another regret, and that's all. And all of the wishes unasked for, All of needs unfed - They're all that remain of the life I never led. And now... now that you've given me one little taste of it - And now... now that I know what I know - Well how... how can I go on ignoring the waste of it? After all of the years that I've clung to my fears. Won't you help me let go? Help me let go! I want to be brave, I want to be strong. I want to believe I'm where I belong. To stand up and say "I'm seizing the day" To not just obey, but to choose. And I may not surf, I may not see France. but I want to know I still have the chance. And maybe I'll make a painful mistake. It's mine though, to take or refuse. And all of the doors yet to open, all of the rooms ahead - They're beaconing bright, scary and new - But I'm standing tall, and I'm walking through. What's gone may be gone, but I won't go on playing dead! It's time to start living the life I never led.
I'm surprised that no one's mentioned this, but at 2:53, the correct lyrics are "They're beckoning bright...". Beaconing is a completely different word with a difference pronunciation. :)
I doubt it. They usually give main roles to older students, since they’re more experienced, will have done more shows, and it’s likely their last chance to do so. At my school, when they did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, they had Y7s play the kids, though.

oh god this is the first time ive ever heard this off of a suggestion for an audition and i love it
If you had to sing just two minutes of the song, how would you crop it? that's how long my audition song is supposed to be
Lucia Malfetana ur audition is prob done but you’d wanna crop it def where ur strong parts are, but if you couldn’t belt the notes then i wouldn’t recommend it. a strong belt would rlly make this song and woah ur listeners :)

It almost remainds me of Disney song
Swiftie sing it's written by Alan menken who did a lot of Disney (Little mermaid, Aladdin, etc) !

Lucia Malfetana dang 2 minutes? i only have to do 16-32 bars (30 seconds- 1:30 minutes)
I've never talked back,
I've never slept late,
I've never sat down
when told to stand straight
I've never let go
and gone with the flow,
and don't even know, really, why.
I've never asked questions,
or taken a dare.
I've never worn clothes
that might make people stare.
I've never rebelled,
or stood up and yelled,
or even just held my head high.
And all of the feelings unspoken,
all of the truths unsaid,
they're all I have left
of the life I never led.
I've never gone surfing,
or ran with a crowd.
Or danced on a table,
or laughed much too loud.
I've never quite dared
to leave myself bared -
I've just been too scared I might fall,
I've never seen Paris,
swum naked,
been kissed.
I've never quite realised
just how much I've missed
And what did I get
for hedging each bet?
Another regret, and that's all.
And all of the wishes unasked for,
All of needs unfed -
They're all that remain
of the life I never led.
And now...
now that you've given me one
little taste of it -
And now...
now that I know what I know -
Well how...
how can I go on ignoring the waste of it?
After all of the years
that I've clung to my fears.
Won't you help me let go?
Help me let go!
I want to be brave,
I want to be strong.
I want to believe
I'm where I belong.
To stand up and say
"I'm seizing the day"
To not just obey, but to choose.
And I may not surf,
I may not see France.
but I want to know
I still have the chance.
And maybe I'll make
a painful mistake.
It's mine though, to take or refuse.
And all of the doors yet to open,
all of the rooms ahead -
They're beaconing bright,
scary and new -
But I'm standing tall,
and I'm walking through.
What's gone may be gone,
but I won't go on
playing dead!
It's time to start living
the life I never led.
Jes Lauren Gibson it's a lyric video?
Maddie Magnant they’re slower on the screen
I'm surprised that no one's mentioned this, but at 2:53, the correct lyrics are "They're beckoning bright...". Beaconing is a completely different word with a difference pronunciation. :)
I keep stumbling on that because I’m reading a different word haha

just making a comment to make it 10
2:15 (Audition cut)
1:50 (start of the “belt”)
3:00 (high part)
3:11 longest line
Anyone have any suggestions as to how I could cut this into 32 bars?
for an audition I have just done I sang the last bit from "I want to be brave".
+Olivia Pike I know you lose some of the story but it shows that you can sing a variety of different pitches and styles
livi olivia i'm doing in from there too!
Go from "I've never gone surfing" to "help me let go"
There's actually a RUclips channel that does that for you! Audition cuts, I think it's called xx
2:12 (personal use)
I’m doing sister act as my school play I’m in year 7 and my play goes up to senior six do u think I have any chance getting Mary Roberts
Yes definitely
I’ve never seen you my dude.
I doubt it. They usually give main roles to older students, since they’re more experienced, will have done more shows, and it’s likely their last chance to do so. At my school, when they did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, they had Y7s play the kids, though.
