Newbie: Aida Audition - 2008/03/22 11:13 So Whats up everyone? I'm new, this site looks pretty sweet.


This afternoon I have 2 separate auditions for AIDA (the Tim and Elton version of course) and I've chosen to sing "Any Dream Will Do" for my vocal, which i think is a cool choice because its a young character who faces peril singing about how hes already overcome everything...pretty Aida-ish right?


The second is the dance audition, the chorus dancers are a separate call from the singers which is wierd to me because all of the dancers in AIDA have to sing at some point. but my gf and I are both planning on dancing for our lives for a couple hours today.

THE PROBLEM IS: I am in no way a technically trained dancer, the only dance "training" i have ever actually had is show choir, which isnt technical and a beginning ballet class when i was in a production of the nutcracker.


Any advice on preparing an untrained dancer for a dance audition?

Re:Newbie: Aida Audition - 2008/03/25 23:50 I was just wondering where you were auditioning for 'Aida' "Me? Gimme a bottle o' bourbon and a half a chicken, and I'll conquer the world!"

Re:Newbie: Aida Audition - 2008/03/26 14:12 Haha that was at Albuquerque Little Theatre in New Mexico.


The audition went very well though, I was called back for Mereb but was cast in the chorus which is all good becuase there were about 4 million people at the dance auditions and only 9 were picked.

Re:Newbie: Aida Audition - 2008/03/26 20:25 Cool! Yeah, I missread the 'this afternoon' part. I have an audition this Saturday for Aida, so I thought it might've been the same one, but I guess not. "Me? Gimme a bottle o' bourbon and a half a chicken, and I'll conquer the world!"
