Music Audition Files for Acting Students

Dear Acting Students,
Below are the instructions for your audition. The audio files are also attached. They will be placed on HST’s website as well. Go to hstonline.org. Click on “HST Families”. Scroll down to see “Acting” on left. Click on that and enter the password: HST25
Please remember that everyone will be accepted into either JR or GB Troupe. The purpose of the audition is for the directors to see how well your follow directions and prepare (your work ethic) and to see where what your strengths are. This will enable them to pick a show for next year that is well suited for the students in their troupes. Blessings, Mrs. Mullan
Here are practice directions. Pick one song (either Bare Necessities or Edelweiss) to audition on. There are three keys to choose from (low, alto-middle, or soprano-high) for each song. You DO NOT have to sing the song in multiple keys.* Please pick the key that fits your voice best.* Ladies- if you can sing high, please choose the high key (we’d like to here your beautiful soprano voices!). Practice with the sing-along tracks (marked FINAL on the attachment). Once you feel comfortable, go ahead and practice with the piano track. Your audition must be memorized. Just to be clear- you *will be auditioning with the piano track. *The sing-along tracks are for practice only. Lyrics are below. Reply to this email if you have any questions!
“Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities Forget about your worries and your strife I mean the bare necessities Old Mother Nature’s recipes That brings the bare necessities of life”
“Edelweiss, edelweiss Every morning you greet me Small and white Clean and bright You look happy to meet me!”
