Re:Les Mis Callback - 2008/05/01 12:47 I belt it except for the notes at the end. The impact of the song is better and more profound if most is belted except for the higher stuff at the end. It's more somber, I think. Do what you think sounds best and feels right. :] Currently: Penelope Sycamore in You Can't Take It With You

Re:Les Mis Callback - 2008/05/01 19:23 When i sing "I dreamed a dream", I start out soft in the beginning and eventually build up to my belt and then not belt the very last line. I like to think of it as if the character was speaking the song as if she was telling her story, when would she be angry and when would she start to cry? In those emotional places, I belt. --Ashley--

Re:Les Mis Callback - 2008/05/02 09:30 I belt the higher stuff like "I dreamed that love would never die" and I intentionally waver a bit during "I dreamed that god would be forgiving" as if she's going through a lot, you know... If someone asked for it, I would write down my emotions for each line. Haha! :] Good luck with your callback. Currently: Penelope Sycamore in You Can't Take It With You

LUCKY! (I am still waitng for a Les Mis audition and I don't think one is coming)

I would belt it as much as you can (mainly from "But the tigers come at night" To "So different now from what it seemed")If you cant belt it make it strong somehow.. Break a leg!
