auditions for musical theartre-
auditions for musical theartre are differet for those for tv work.
i usually wear all black and have my hair down unless i am dancing wich is tied back with no jewlery and leotard and leggings with a tight top to show fitness and correct foot wear i wear minimal makeup as its bad to look like  drag queen. i usually take change of clothes aswell as you should always expect the unexpected by this i mean i take a range of songs i know suited to the style of play im going to i take food and plenty to drink.

auditions for tv -
as i have said expect the unexpected tv auditions can either be a personal short interview and quick shots with a brief act of a scene or can be entirely done infront of a camra for this i give my profile my side view and then say my name and begin. i have been to auditions were i have been cuing for hours and in some cases never to be seen. i have learnt that tv is more about how you look and may fit the role than your actual talent theres no point going for a indian charecter if your white with blue eyes i have aslo found if they ask you to bring your own material its better to pick somthing around your age and gender.for a tv aiditon i usualy wear somthing comfortale but pretty and i wear my hair down with highlighting makeup.
