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?
