So today, I went to Walnut Street Theatre, here in philly for a singers call for their fall season. Now I can carry a nice tune, and God has blessed me with a voice for giving him glory, which really only shines thru when The holy Spirit takes over and I'm singin up 3 octaves than I should be.( I love my Falsetto). But, not enough for me to go to a singers call. The theater world is broken up like that, dancer/singer, singer/actor, singer/dancer. Now I go to the dancer/singer calls, It's all in what you have to do first. So this means I would go and dance, and if they keep me from dancing, I get to sing my song.
Anyway, so I head over to the Nut, Hoping that they will even see me, this was an EPA appointment only call, and since I am only an EMC. They could've told me to get lost. But Praise God they didn't and they were seeing non equity folks. I was actually lucky I got there right before their lunch break, the last one in.
SO, I go in feeling kind of good, cause I got my professional headshots reprinted, and did some work on my resume, and touched up my music, so I felt more professional, and I had a cute outfit on.(which by the way, I got to rehearsal tonight and saw that the costumer had the same shirt on, I took it as more of a compliment that great minds think alike, hey it's all in the attitude). Anyway, so I ask if the pianist can play my 2 song a key lower, and he can't oh well, I thought, I've sang it that high before. I sing my first song fine, nice sweet, "Can't help lovin dat gal of mine" Gershwin, changed the gender. I was happy despite my cold it went well, only to have it a
ll thwarted by the horrible noise that followed. Man let me tell you it was pretty bad. I was crackin left and right, Man my flem was gettin in the way, I wasn't warmed up like I thought, and I hadn't sung this song in that key in a while. I had to over compensate thru my acting. I had already started and I couldn't not finish the song, Oh how I just wanted to stop the pain. After I sang she says, "so you're primarily a dancer." hahaha, yes I am, and then asked if I could read music, I'm glad I've been in a choir half my life.
Now the reason it was a singers call, is because 2 of the musicals they're doing are Man of Lamancha, and Les Miz. Straight hardcore classic singing musicals. But Both very Guy heavy. Now I was really going in there for Peter Pan, cause that's also guy heavy, and has all the dancing, but you always say you're auditioning for everything to get in, and that you will do basically what ever they want. Now you may be asking why didn't I just go to the dance call, well there is no call, you have to make it thru this cut to be seen for dancing.
My 2 friends, Kelly,and Andre fellow cast members from Chicago also sang today. Kelly is one of our leads, and she did 2 shows at the Nut this past fall, so she knows the casting manager, so she told me that she kind of gave Andre and I a shout out. God please let that help.
(oh Andre is the other black guy in the video, with the hair and great smile) So, please keep thinking those happy thoughts, Ask God to send some pixie dust my way, And hopefully I'll be a lost boy, pirate,prisoner,and revolutionary.
