Laura Lydia Paruzynski (freshman BFA Musical Theatre) performing "I'm Breaking Down" from Falsettos for her spring juries at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point.
How do you stay so calm in front of a audience? Whenever I perform in front of my class my knees literally shake because of how nervous I am. Amazing job!
I used to have the worst stage fright! (and I still struggle with it) Being nervous can actually be a good thing because it means that you really care about what you are doing. How I learned to control my nerves is to 1.) sing in front of different people as often as possible. The more you do it, the more confident you will feel the next time. 2.) remind yourself of why you are singing and what you story you have to share - this helps take the pressure off of you as a person and can help turn those nerves into excitement and charisma. Thanks for the encouragement and I wish you the very best in your performing :)
Laura Paruzynski Thank you for the advice! I really need this. Even when I personally perform in front of my family I feel like just laying on the floor and crying because of how nervous and scared I am. So thank you. I will definitely try this!
Naydeline Torres thank you!! And I worked on this song for a few months on and off. With practice and exercise you can do anything you set your mind to ☺️
wait can anyone tell me why the lyrics are different from the version i know? are there two versions out there, im so confused...its the second verse where i noticed it with the "marvin me and his friend" and "apple tree" line, i just watched the broadway revival? version and those lyrics never happened
I believe these are the original lyrics and the Broadway Revival changed a verse or two. I do think though that there are a few different versions - I noticed that too as I was learning the song :)
This song originates from In Trousers, the first installment of the Marvin Trilogy. The 2016 revival is the second two parts: March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland.
At first I was kinda like "what" (because I've only seen the revival in full) and then I realized this was the OBC version! Your voice was amazing and I think you'd be a great Trina!
Singing this for my MT class and was trying to think of staging ideas and this is super helpful! You have an awesome voice and the character choices were on point fantastic job!
This was the cutest, craziest and funniest version of I'm Breaking Down, maybe even funnier than Stephanie J. Block (and that's saying A LOT from me! XD
You no doubt have a fantastic voice and would play Trina wonderfully. My only advice would be that you do not have to overdue the hands and gestures. I do understand that the song does require it, but it would have more meaning and purpose towards the end of the song. Focus on really finding where she is "breaking down". Terrific voice execution of the song though!
Yeah, I agree with you. Although I think that it would be better if she didn't overdue the hands, but move more the rest of her body and add more expression to her voice (as Stephanie J. Block does). But overall it's great!
I love this song. It takes quite some taoent to sing and you did fantastically! I love the emotion and you have a beautiful voice. Just fantastic. Oops, im 7 years late lol.
This is great , Love your vibrado. I wish you would do a more recent cover where your voice is louder! I know pianos are loud naturally but id like to hear your voice even more if ever possible
You are so wonderfully suited for this. This came as an automatic queue after the lyric video and I am so happy that I let it play because you are giving one of my favourite performances yet
i know im very late but this is absolutely wonderful! i love the use of the original lyrics because you never see people sing those versions. your voice is gorgeous, you sound just like barbara walsh when she sang it in 1992. i hope youre doing very well and in still in showbiz!!!
Hilarious and awesome!!! Also wanted to let you know that you gave an amazing performance in "Doctor! Doctor!" and hope that you'll be returning to Northern Sky Theater in future summers.
Thank you so much!! Hahaha, yes small world!! I'm so blessed to have gotten to perform with them and look forward to what the future has in store! Thank you for the comment!
I actually love how the audience react to "the only thing that's breaking up is my family"
Thank you so much! Thank you for your comment!
Oh my goodness! Your voice suited the song and the character of Trina perfectly!!!
Your acting is amazing and I would definitely put you in the same category as Stephanie J. Block. You honestly would make a fantastic Trina!
Rebecca H Oh my word!! That may be the best compliment I've ever received! Thank you!
Rebecca H Your voice is amazing and i am in awe of this performance
If I would revive Falsettos again I would now know who I would choose for Trina. Absolutely stunning, amazing voice and acting!
Marie Weil wow!! I would love that! Thank you ☺️

That was flawless! I so wish I had a voice as amazing and strong as yours!! How long did it take to prepare that song?
Naydeline Torres thank you!! And I worked on this song for a few months on and off. With practice and exercise you can do anything you set your mind to ☺️

alex WOW! Thank you so much!!
This was an excellent performance. You captured the mannerisms of the character perfectly. This has to be one of my favorite falsettos performances.
At first I was kinda like "what" (because I've only seen the revival in full) and then I realized this was the OBC version! Your voice was amazing and I think you'd be a great Trina!

This is the greatest cover anyone has ever done of any musical theatre song EVER....at least of the million I’ve watched 😂 YES GIRL! 🙌🏻

NatCan'tEvenLife Seriously I totally agree. That is something I am working on! Great catch! Thank you for the advice :)
