I once did a lecture workshop kind of thing on this very topic. The speaker was Robert Westenberg (yes from Into The Woods). He talked about how people are very complex and have so many levels that they feel the you never see on stage. The number one thing I remember was that he said NEVER PRACTICE IN A MIRROR! Acting is about feeling true emotions and if you are truly becoming the character and truly putting yourself out there, you’ll feel the movement and your body will naturally act how that character does. He said that’s how you make things feel truly real and authentic. ACTING IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, BUT WHAT YOU FEEL! It was the best workshop I’ve ever had!
I remember one of my most favorite singing coaches I ever had told me that the moment you most feel like you want to close your eyes is the moment you should BE SURE they're open. Don't keep that feeling to yourself, share it with the audience; it's what makes the performance connective and memorable. :) I still struggle tho lmao
My friend did a workshop for acting a song (with none other than Mike Faist!) singing Watch What Happens from Newsies. While that song is a nightmare breath control wise, the theme of the song is fairly easy to understand so it's easy to act to it.
Those are really great advices. I would also like to add on other advices for acting while singing. - Read the lyrics as if saying a monologue - Paraphrase the songs in your own words. - when telling a story, show the song with space - Be more on what you create - physical tensión that creates a push or pull I’ve learned them when I was in a virtual vocal class during my summer break before starting my senior year of high school.
I've never auditioned for anything, but some of my favorite songs to act out is Burn from Hamilton, Memory from Cats, Rum a Tum Tugger from Cats, I Will be There from Count of Monte Cristo, Meant to be Yours from Heathers, and My Shot from Hamilton
I’ve never really thought about a focus point but when I did a showcase for a theatre camp, I was pretty still and didn’t move as much 😭😂 This video really helps since I find it hard to move when I sing cuz I feel like whenever I move and there are people watching, I feel like my movements look awkward 😭 Thanks for this Kat! Also, I have never auditioned yet but I hope maybe this year or next year I’ll be able to! :)
I just bring all the emotion and energy to my face because as my director says “your eyes can’t lie” so you have to make sure that if it’s super emotional, voice and face is more important than movement. But movement that adds to your performance is really good( it’s usually spontaneous especially if you’re emoting through your face and voice)
lily haha I’m a year late but do you remember what helped in acting the song? I’m doing that song for my next audition and have a pretty good feel for acting it, I just need help lol
Hey Katherine! Loved this video! My acting teacher has always said to talk your song like it is a monologue. This helps you memorize the lyrics and makes the song more natural and realistic. When your speaking the lyrics like it's a monologue, certain gestures arise from within you unconsciously, these add more to your performance. You can also rehearse your focus points when doing this.
1.) Mark the thoughts on your sheet music. Not every thought has to be a whole sentence and can be a word 2.) Writing in the subtext. Take into context guidelines of blocking, where you breathe, tempo changes, dynamics, etc. of how your performance should go 3.) Mark your focus points. Each thought should get a new focus point, and they don’t even have to be big differences. BUT don’t change focus without finishing your thought 4.) Don’t move when you don’t need to. Maybe even mark in your music when you need to move. Don’t have extreme movement. Make every move purposeful 5.) Don’t choose your eyes 6.) Take note of what your character is going through, unless the surrounding environment doesn’t call for it 7.) Make the song personal to you 5.)
Thank you Kath for creating this community, it has changed my life. I’m really sorry that I couldn’t see you in Into The Woods but I live in England. And QOTD: the last song I auditioned with was Roxie from Chicago. But I’m auditioning for our school musical (Joesph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat) and I’m auditioning with The Prologue, from the show, for the part of the narrator. This video has really helped thank you 💕
My last audition song was “In My Dreams” from Anastasia for a Peter Pan audition. I didn’t get in the show but the director invited me to audition for another show she was doing (the Little mermaid). Also, tonight I leave for New York. I’m going to see Anastasia, Dear Evan Hansen, and the Spongebob musical! I just thought I would tell you In The comment because you’re one of the main people that got me into acting and musical theatre. Love you! ❤️
THIS IS SO HELPFUL, I am playing Eliza Doolittle in MY FAIR LADY and this is JUST what I needed to hear the night before opening!!!! LOVE YOU GIRL! KEEP ON KEEP'IN ON!
Kat, you always make such smart and helpful comments.When I was rehearsing for my school's production of Spelling Bee, I had a lot of similar ideas into mind.
The last thing that I sang at an audition was fight for me from heathers. I was auditioning for Veronica it was my first audition EVER and my friends dared me to do it I actually got the part after
Mama will provide from once on this island. It was mandatory. I'm auditioning for a school production of the sound of music and I'm using "In my Dreams" from Anastasia the musical
Kath sometimes acting gets really hard because I hate the theater I'm at and it doesn't seem fun anymore. But when I watch your videos, it inspires me to keep going and to look at the positive. So thank you 💞⭐💫✌💕
My favorite part of musical theatre is the challenge of acting through song. I was lucky enough to be a finalist in KCACTF for musical theatre, and Elijah Caldwell was helping me through my song (Still Hurting from the Last Five Years). One session with him taught me SO much about changing intentions by using different parts of your voice. Amazing!
I needed this video so badly because I'm currently preparing to audition for Footloose, and I was just working on this with my voice teacher!! Thank you so much!
My cousin is a musical theatre kid and she insists that I join. But idk if I should so I’m watching musical theatre videos to see how I can make sure that I don’t embarrass my self and actually succeed.
My most recent was Dead Girl Walking! I was just auditioning for lead alto for the club in my university so I knew I could get away with something more risky because everyone is over 18 and it wasn’t for a specific musical 😅
Chicken Nugget Yeah I did get in thank you! In fact we’ve just finished our first showcase, it was great!! (also, yaaaass Dead girl walking is EVERYTHING that’s why I was so desperate to use it 😂)
Hi kath!! I go to an acting school and how it works is you’ll get assigned a duet/trio song based on your voice range, what you want to work on and what your already good at. At the end of 6 weeks all of the duet/trios perform for family, friends, etc. I just wanted to say that your videos have helped me through this so much. Your advice has helped me improve my acting style and your singing while acting advice is just phenomenal and I will definitely take it. I can’t that you enough for making me happy, giving amazing advice and being an awesome person!
My last audition song was Requiem from DEH I think? I know it went against Catherine’s general advice since it’s so new BUT the genre, range, character, and themes fit the show I was auditioning for. It was actually a musical called Gen Z that 2 of my amazing and talented theatre friends wrote themselves! It was an ensemble cast, lots of main characters but no lead per say- so I got the role of one of the main characters, and our shows sold out with standing room or almost did! We’ve been in local news and advertisements and stuff, which is really cool, and we’re hoping to do more with the show soon!
i was auditioning for american idiot so i sang build god then we’ll talk by panic! at the disco because we had to sing something more rock/alternative-ish? but before that i had to audition for les mis and they wanted us to sing sections from the show so i sang in my life and i dreamed a dream :,)
OH MY LORD thank you so much!!! This is one of those things that I assumed everyone in the business somehow just knew so I felt stupid asking but THANK YOU KATH
Katherine, I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I’m honestly so glad that there’s someone like you on TH-cam! You have so much wisdom and you always give such great tips! I’m a high school student and I’m not looking into pursuing theatre but it’s a big part of my life outside of school and I really appreciate these videos, they’re so helpful!
most recent audition song was waiting for life for once on this island! show ended a week ago and i’ve watched your “how to deal with post show depression” at least 26 times
The last song I auditioned with was 'Safer' from First Date! It's kinda become my go-to for a contemporary show because it's super relatable for a lot of characters my age!
The last song I auditioned with was If I Could Tell Her from Dear Evan Hansen for Into the Woods Jr. and I scored the Bakers Wife. I'm actually looking up this video for her part!
A few months ago I auditioned for a production of Be More Chill and I sang "One Perfect Moment" from Bring it On the Musical. I ended up getting cast as Jenna Rolan! PS love your videos! :)
Thanks so much, I have an audition soon! My last audition song was Guys and Dolls. I have an audition for Seussical Jr and the song is oh the things you can think.
I love watching these videos even if I'm not a theatre performer (I just really love musicals). It just gives me a look into an entirely new world that I don't know much about it.
The last song i auditioned with was Once Upon a December from Anastasia. I did NOT warm up enough before and i also forgot a piece of sheet music, so it wasn’t my best but.... it happens.
The last song I sang for an audition was Good Morning Baltimore because that was the song we had to sing. My school is doing Hairspray and I’m playing Motormouth Maybelle!❤️
Great tips, Katherine! Especially the focus points. Those really add depth to the performance! ✨ My last audition song was “Beyond My Wildest Dreams” from The Little Mermaid!
I’ve been watching these videos for several months and OML these things are amazing. I was in Into The Woods a little bit ago playing Bakers Wife and just watchjng your thoughts on being in the show helped me SO MUCH. I’m in Legally Blonde now and I am still learning so much and putting what you say into practice. Thank you for making these!
Good to know!! I am about to do a performance of Mary Poppins (first touring show! So excited!) my character is super animated this so I am VERY grateful for this!!
I have such a huge problem with my eyes moving around when I sing during a show. It’s a note that I always get after a run through. This was a really helpful video, thank you!!
my audition song is ‘right hand man’ from something rotten! I have an audition saturday and was struggling with the acting portion of my song! thank you so much for posting this!

Wow that's great insight!
Thank you so much for the tips
Wait… ppl don’t just hide in there room where no mirror is available and sing and act musicals?
This is genuinely some of the best advice I’ve ever heard!
nah but acting in the mirror helps if you're unsure how your face looks with certain expressions
I feel like you would be perfect to play Katherine in Newsies
Aw thank you!!! 💕
Yeah. Totally. I think that like every video.
Isabella M yeah she’s perfect for every lead role
OMG YES!
Isabella M Right?? I've mistaken her for Kara before!
I remember one of my most favorite singing coaches I ever had told me that the moment you most feel like you want to close your eyes is the moment you should BE SURE they're open. Don't keep that feeling to yourself, share it with the audience; it's what makes the performance connective and memorable. :) I still struggle tho lmao
Yo this is actually amazing advice!! Thank you sm!!
im auditioning with kindergarten boyfriend from heathers for my college audition!!
Break a leg!!!
Katherine Steele thank you so much!!
Me too! But I am auditioning with it for The Addams Family
I used the same song
My last audition song was Defying gravity from Wicked. I got Glinda Xx
Ellie Taggart Xx low key didn’t know the rights were out but that’s fun!
Emery Gray They definitely are in Australia
Ellie Taggart Xx omg same! haha
Tillysnow1 oof. I feel (dont hate me) that this show (also hamilton) should stay with the professionals.
Ooh I did wicked at a summer school!
Last song I auditioned with was ‘breathe’ from in the heights :))
My friend did a workshop for acting a song (with none other than Mike Faist!) singing Watch What Happens from Newsies. While that song is a nightmare breath control wise, the theme of the song is fairly easy to understand so it's easy to act to it.
tell your friend i am JEALOUS of them! that would be amazing!
Nelanga Mtshali I forgot 😅
OMG SO JEALOUS I LOVE MIKE SM
I'm jealous, Mike Faist was my first celebrity crush
Those are really great advices. I would also like to add on other advices for acting while singing.
- Read the lyrics as if saying a monologue
- Paraphrase the songs in your own words.
- when telling a story, show the song with space
- Be more on what you create
- physical tensión that creates a push or pull
I’ve learned them when I was in a virtual vocal class during my summer break before starting my senior year of high school.
The last song I auditioned with was "Mother Knows Best" from Tangled!
YAS! 💇🏼
I've never auditioned for anything, but some of my favorite songs to act out is Burn from Hamilton, Memory from Cats, Rum a Tum Tugger from Cats, I Will be There from Count of Monte Cristo, Meant to be Yours from Heathers, and My Shot from Hamilton
Hold up, THERE'S A MONTE CRISTO MUSICAL???
Lol I also act out meant to be yours and burn alot
Meant to be yours is one of my favorites
I’ve never really thought about a focus point but when I did a showcase for a theatre camp, I was pretty still and didn’t move as much 😭😂 This video really helps since I find it hard to move when I sing cuz I feel like whenever I move and there are people watching, I feel like my movements look awkward 😭 Thanks for this Kat! Also, I have never auditioned yet but I hope maybe this year or next year I’ll be able to! :)

I just bring all the emotion and energy to my face because as my director says “your eyes can’t lie” so you have to make sure that if it’s super emotional, voice and face is more important than movement. But movement that adds to your performance is really good( it’s usually spontaneous especially if you’re emoting through your face and voice)
The last audition song I used was “in my own little corner” from Cinderella
Sky Gray wait that’s so weird I came here to get tips because I need to act through that exact song for my audition😂

i love that song! that's what i used for two out of my three most recent musical auditions
