Chapter 11 Summary:
Summary: Repetoire:
Repetoire is very important for a singer! But the absolute guiding principle
behind this is that you should sing music that you love! Period. Find variety,
but don't get cast into a "fach." Sing what you will love singing. The
idea is that if you have developed your natural naked voice, then you will
naturally be drawn to the right sort of rep, because it will fit your voice
best, and you will enjoy it for that reason. Auditions: three audition
techniques: 1 atmosphere of the space, 2 what you want to communicate, 3
imagine vocally what it sounds like when you are at your best. Then just go in
and do it! Don't be over confident but have confidence. 5 Step process for
learning rep: 1 Study the text, Speak the text, Speak the text in rhythm, Get
pitches in your ear, then sing it! A word on Marking: Mark freely, or don't
mark at all! Singing freely at full volume is better than marking poorly. Be an
actor! But don't let your voice be tight in trying to show drama. Performance
day: Don't do a full set of inventions! You have to find out what is best for
you, but think of yourself as an athlete! Organize your time appropriately. It
doesn’t matter if it takes you a week to learn a role and it takes 6 months for
someone else to learn it. Show up at rehearsal ready to go! Manage your money
well.

Making Connections:
I definitely need to review these chapters if I ever get out into the world,
and perform, or have to have auditions, or sing for something.
