Song & Character Research
When you are preparing a song to sing for an audition or as part of a performance, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
- Who sings the song?
- What do you know about this character?
- Where is the character in terms of location and time period?
- Who is the character singing to and where is this person located?
- What is the relationship between the character and the person to whom he/she is singing?
- Where in the show does this song occur?
- What has happened just before the character started singing?
- Why does the character feel compelled to sing in this moment?
- What are the primary ideas/emotions the character is expressing in the song?
- How does the character change from beginning to end of the song?
- What does singing the song accomplish for the character?
Once you have answered these questions, ask yourself - how will your singing reflect this?
