]]> Comment on How to Audition for Musical Theater by Sam http://www.thevoiceclub.com/auditions-for-singers/musical-theater-auditions/#comment-985 Sam Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:21:35 +0000 http://www.thevoiceclub.com/?p=2145#comment-985 Hey there! I heard about the musical Wicked, about a year ago, and I'm totally hooked on it! And as a lot of people would probably say, I want to try out for a part in the musical and eventually go and be Elphaba. I know I don't have the greatest voice, and I have a few years before I'm of age to be able to audition for any role, but I'm wondering if there's any kind of help you'd guys be able to help me with if that's possible. Thanks! :) Hey there!

But by the time these symptoms are experienced I think the nodes have already developed. So my question is are there ways to tell if youre damaging your voice from an earlier stage? Also do you have any tips to get rid of phlegm in the throat apart from throat clearing? I know that hoarseness, scratchiness vocal fatique and many others are symptoms of vocal nodes.

I mean, since it's 12+ how do they not miss out on school and such? Also, just to clear this up there are 3 rounds? Do you know the places that they will be having the auditions for next year? Please and Thank you.:) Hi, I’m ashlee, I’m 16, and I will try to audition for the 2012 x factor (season 3 I believe) and I was wondering how they deal with school while on the show?

My voice has been getting chronically cracky over an year when I started to sing. I have been reckless about singing with improper technique which resulted in many instances of sore throat (which I have right now) and hoarseness. Now I figured out a way to sing higher notes without strain but my voice cracks easily and cord closure feels like it's on and off especially from F#4. I can sing in louder volume to compensate for that but that certainly limits the musical expressiveness. Do you reckon my voice can be healed so that it becomes more reliable? Thanks in advance!

In it I'd added some extra considerations for those in extra noisy places - since I'm now in one too. I feel your pain. Keep checking back for that. To help you right now I would suggest a thick, shag carpet under your recording space and a DIY acoustic panel hung from the ceiling above (in the e-book, coming soon). Hinge 4 doors together and put acoustic foam on the insides. You don't need to bracket them to the wall since they will form a box that is self supporting. I hope that helps. The e-book has 3-d drawings because I can see that would be helpful. I hope to have a complete e-book how to on my DIY recording booth up this month.
