I know the 1st movie featured a cross of a film actress and operatically trained girl
The 2nd one I think Andrew Lloyd Webber must have picked from what was on Broadway. This one I think was also Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
When Charlie and the Chocolate Factory came out, they chose a British girl I think never was in another movie.
I am actually working on the role right now and making my own CD. I understand auditions for the tour/US are being held in NYC this month, but I am attending a taping of Ellen and am starting voice lessons again and cannot make it. I am wondering if they have an anniversary if whoever wins that would be Christine. They don't have video send in auditions. I tried contacting them about something, but they didn't answer. I wanted to know if I was too old for this one, which wanted age 18-25 and knew I could have done it at age 16 but didn't know you could be in it at 18 so easily. I am 28. West End has it as 20s. I thought it was like late 20s and the 30s.
I am also concerned I could not afford to fly to England to audition. I was wondering if my CD could be like a chance at being considered in the audition
For some reason, I thought that they weren't doing another anniversary, tho, but possibly another video, as they are probably doing with Cats.
I could have easily done this role when I was younger, tho they don't do that locally as often. I looked it up. They did Les Miz here recently.
I have been singing again. I took a break from 2006-2009 to some extent to work on acting or networking to act if I could, waiting to be ready for film acting, resting from a year or so of college.
I'm not saying oh I have to do this and there has to be that. I was just wondering.
So, my question/concern is how to apply to audition if there is a 30th anniversary. They would need to start rehearsal soon, right?
If you want to know more about me to further help me, I can speak kinda with a British accent more. My mom has one, but my dad is American and I am from the South. People always said I sang like an angel in choir. In private lessons, they pushed for me to be loud, which became easy for me. This was in college. I was singing on my own for a long time and now am taking lessons from a place I was recommended which produces, too. So, people say they like my singing.
Also, since I'm missing this audition partly since I'm going to LA already, is there another opportunity for me sometime soon? I am starting with the music place in January. I am working towards the CD of the role of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera. What would you recommend I do if I want to become famous? It seems the best thing is to be a singer and try to be Christine or possibly some other role out there that could lead to some sort of fame. I was trying to be a film actor but missed being a singer and dancer. I've wanted to be in Cats since I was 12. However, Christine is a star role with singing. I minored in ballet, too. I am more skilled than anyone I know in singing. I have trouble with nerves sometimes but am getting a stronger voice, which leads to more expression naturally. So, yes, I want to be famous and am getting out there somehow. I just saw this as something out there to consider, a big role indeed.
If there is no 30th anniversary, what would my best hopes be then? I'd love to be in a big recording of a famous musical with an important, memorable part.. I don't know quite what else to shoot for. I will still make the CD and hope to make a lot of money from it. If I become famous, I want to be a charitable educator of music and the arts maybe since I did all the arts, somehow. I'd love to sing for shows or tour, like when they gather singers together. Josh Groban has made a lot of appearances. He's also all over YouTube probably illegally..
I hope you can led me some help with my career "dreams." Thanks so much!
