Voices of Liberty

Audition # 5
Voices of Liberty

This was a Disney audition for a group of 8 singers SATB though I hear they have more than one "voices of liberty." Disney splits up the vocalists by gender. The guys started in the morning, we started at 1:00. When 100+ females are in a room waiting for an audition there just seems to be a lot of anxiety. After I arrived and put my makeup on and red dress I looked for someone to talk to who looked like they were enjoying the day most.

I found that person laughing with another woman. We three had a great time chatting. I don't know if I will see these people again, but I am glad I got to get to know them a bit.

At 3:00 they called my shift of 10 people from the general waiting room to another smaller area and we lined up out side the door. The girl in front of me was called back. I was not. Bummer. They all looked up and were quite curious how I would end my snip bit of song, but after I finished, that was it. No questions, no call back. Now that I think about it, breathing for dramatic emphasis, is NOT a way to convince a conductor that I would fit perfectly in an 8 voice group!

Ah well, next!
