- What is up artists and movers!
This video is inspired by talented musical theater TH-camr, Katherine Steele. Dance program and intensive auditions are right around the corner and everyday new industry auditions are being posted here in Los Angeles. Although auditions can be the doorway to some of our most exciting experiences, they can also cause feelings of nervousness and self doubt. In this video I share 5 tips with you that have helped me approach auditions with more confidence and have helped me shake some of those audition nerves. There is no way to guarantee that you will book a job, but going into an audition with confidence will help you improve your performance, make a more lasting impression, and feel satisfied with yourself no matter the result. Give this video a thumbs up if you are enjoying it and I will see you guys in my next one. Later!

↓ WHO IS GAYLYN LAREESE ↓
Hey there! My name is Gaylyn Lareese, and I am dancer living in Los Angeles. For as long as I can remember, dance has been a part of my life and has truly shaped my personality, my opinions and my life goals. I believe dancers are more than pretty performers on a stage or in a video. True dancers know that dance is how we learn and move through life. It’s the way we’ve chosen to grow to be the people we are meant to be. This is why I call us artists and movers! On my channel I make content for every aspect of dance life including dance tips, dance discussions, and dance entrepreneurship. Join me as I take my love for dance to the next level and hopefully encourage you to do the same 🩵

Ooop as soon as you said “picking up choreography quickly “ I knew this was for me!!!!!😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺
Hope it was helpful💙
I have an audition for a dance company tomorrow, and I was honestly feeling so nervous, especially because I’m very slow at picking up choreography. After you’ve given me tips about moving around (to pick up on choreos faster), and how to be confident, I feel like I can make it!! Thank you so much!! I’ll give it my all tomorrow!!!
How did it go ❤
@@ieltsrevision I didn’t make it in as the official member of the company, but did get accepted as one of the only 2 apprentices and I’m going to have a personal coach with me now!! If I do good and improve I’m going to be able to join their company officially from December! I am so excited!! 💗
@@mintchoco3874AHHHH i’m so proud of you! good luck with your future auditions! 💕
This was dope!! thank you for the advice, really gonna put it in use soon. Best of luck to you and everyone in the Comments with any Auditions yall are gonna do!
I have a dance audition in 4 hours thanks for the advice !!
I love the recommendation to take a class that the choreographer is offering, so they can see you, potentially recognize you, and you also have seen their style before, so you bring a little bit more expertise. I also think there was some truth to moving around the room, and that helping you to memorize choreography. I am the same way, and that I can remember things based on where I physically was when I heard it or learned it. I think it’s a kinesthetic learning style that puts it in the muscle memory 💡
You’re right, I definitely think it’s connected to be a kinesthetic learner. I always learned best getting my hands and body involved as a kid.
Girl, you look so stylish and put together in an effortless way! And your voice is a balm for my soul😌 I loved those tips. Please do a video on your daily routine, do you record yourself, how do you improve? I started recording myself and see do many things to improve it's overwhelming lol
this helped me so much! i have auditions in less then 5 hours and im so nervous you dont even know! but this helped me so much to calm my nerves so thank you!
Thank you for telling all this information! I have a very big audition coming up and this has given me more knowledge on auditions! ❤
Auditions can all be so different but I hope you feel more confident walking into yours. Wishing you the best🩵

Oh the thing that makes me nervous is improvisation! I can do it alone, but in auditions it’s scary.

Thank you for these amazing tips! I have an audition in a few days and can’t wait, but I fear that someone is going to be better than me and I won’t get in. Thanks to these tips I will be more confident in myself and take the with me to the auditions.

I love this video, your content, and how you present information. I'm supporting my daughter in preparing for college auditions and it is so nice to see her reflection on the screen. Thank you sis!

Thank you!
This was super helpful. I just started thinking about how I learn and how I can be confident in doing dance again. It's been a while for me but I wanted to prepare myself for any auditions ahead of time even while I'm just getting back into it so I can have that as my focal point. Thank you!! I feel more confident already.
Auditioning is definitely a skill that gets better with practice. I’m so glad it was helpful!

I hope it went well!
As someone who’s I’d say a meh dancer (I haven’t had the chance to learn) but a musical theater actor, I’m terrified of dance auditions. I have one today and I’m doing frantic research 😭
Edit: wait I also don’t pick up choreo quick is this video gonna change my life
I hope you were happy with how you auditioned! You can't control the outcome but you can always get better at how you show up. 🤗💙
Im doing my first ever dance audition and im kinda nervous because idk what is going to be in it and i cant pratice the choregraphy bc i dont know whats it gonna be
My first audition is for a pantomime on sunday, as a junior esemble -kinda nervous
So I’m scared that I’m not good enough I don’t know how to dance at all I never did anything in school and now I’m going to 7 grade but there letting us take it early on feb 13 and I’m scared I don’t want to mess up I want it so bad I never did anything but stay in the house my brother is in two things I want my mom to be proud of me I want to make it so bad I’m so nervous I want to be something to I told them I will be doing it this year so I’m not gonna let them down but what do I do I want to do track to but I’m not scared and that but dance yes but I want people to see me but I don’t like a big crowd it’s a lot 😂😢
It is a lot. Focus on what you want to do and do whatever you can to do it well. I was never a big fan of having all eyes on my either but if you like dance and you focus on just dancing all the other stuff will fade into the back of your mind. You can be good at multiple things. Just whatever you do, make sure you take a big deep breath and focus on just doing it as well as you can in the moment. 🩵
Serena Williams came out with a towel, if u know u always needs one 👍
