Freaky Friday Dance Audition

Here are the videos of me teaching the dance combinations. Please learn them and be prepared to do perform them in groups at the audition. I have flipped the videos so that you can learn them as if you're looking in a mirror. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me at vaastheatrecompany@gmail.com

There are two combinations, you only have to learn one. There is a "dancer" combination and a "mover" combination. The dancer combo is a bit more intricate so if you feel comfortable with dance, do that one. The mover combo is a little bit less intricate but is still challenging. Not everyone needs to be the most amazing dancer, but we just need to see what you can all do! So choose the combo best suited for you (I also might have you improve the first two 8 counts before the combo starts to see any other strengths you may have. So be prepared for that).

Dancer Combination:
*I missed one detail at the end of the combo. At the end where we take the 3 steps forward leading with the right shoulder before "On your mark.. go", I forgot to mention you should leave your hands holding the phone. Then release and open your arms on count 3 when you face forward. If you need a visual, I did correctly on the video where I did it with music*

Freaky Friday Auditions

It's musical time - I'm so excited! Below you will find all the materials for Freak Friday auditions! Please take time to look at and rehearse the materials, we want you to do your best! I also highly suggest watching the full show on Youtube to get a feel of characters and scenes selected for sides. If you have any questions, you can ask Tyni or email Augusto (who made all the sides and tracks) at vaastheatrecompany@gmail.com  Auditions and callbacks will be the first week of December - break legs!


CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:

*Important Info*
We are considering boys and girls for the role of Fletcher. 
 If you are just interested in the ensemble, all you have to do is do a quick dance or vocal audition (details below under "Vocal Auditions"). 


Audition Sides:


Katherine, Ellie, Mike, & Fletcher

Ellie & Katherine

Ellie, Gretchen, Hannah, Adam, & Savannah

Katherine, Torrey, Danielle

Ellie, Hannah, Gretchen, Adam, Savannah, & Mr. Blumen

Katherine, Mike, & Fletcher

Adam & Fletcher

Ellie, Katherine, & Ms. Meyers



Vocal Auditions: 

Below are the instrumental tracks/sections that will be used at the audition. For each song, there is an instrumental, example with vocals, and an instrumental track with the melody so you know how the vocals work with the track we'll use at the audition. Also, do not be alarmed with the nice lady that says "Rehearsal Tracks" at random times. AND make sure you tell us a story and embody the character in your vocal audition. You can sound beautiful, but if you don't act it out and communicate what the song is trying to convey, it will make it less special.

LYRICS



KATHERINE:

*For the audition you may choose to sing Parents Lie OR Not Myself Today, but at callbacks be prepared to sing both. 
These songs are high and if you can belt/mix the sections that are meant to be in full voice, that's ideal. If not, a strong head voice works*

"Parents Lie"
ELLIE:

*For the audition you may choose to sing No More Fear OR Not Myself Today, but at callbacks be prepared to sing both. These songs are high and if you can belt/mix the sections that are meant to be in full voice, that's ideal. 
If not, a strong head voice works*

"No More Fear"

OR

ADAM:

"Go"


MIKE:

"Vows"


FLETCHER:

"Driving With My Mom"


SAVANNAH:

"I Got This"


DANIELLE & MS. MEYERS:

*Usually Danielle and Ms.Meyers are doubled and played by the same person. We could consider this, or we could also cast them separately.*

"Watch Your Back"


TORREY:

"I'm Not Myself Today"


GRETCHEN & HANNAH:

"Oh Biology"


ENSEMBLE:

*All the stand out featured ensemble roles will come out of the ensemble. This is a huge ensemble show, so there is a lot of numbers and scenes to be in; also a lot of singing/harmonies! If you have an idea of a featured part from the show and want to be considered for it, write it down in your audition form!*

"Oh Biology" 

OR

Any other song listed above!
