does blocking take away from a Musical Audition?
Mar 9th
I have an audition for Les Miserables coming up on June the 1st, I’ve got lot’s of competition for the role I’m after (Jean Valjean) so I’m working my butt off to do the 2 songs we need to sing for auditions.
My predicament is… I’m working on one of my audition songs which is “Kansas City” from “Oklahoma!”, and while I was singing it, in the spur of the moment, I started adding small dancing/blocking to it, like throwing my arms up in a circle, some small spins, nothing HUGE, but some dance moves.
Normally I’d ask my producer “Hey…” let’s call her “Joe” for privacy reasons… “Hey Joe, would minor blocking take away from my les mis audition?” but sadly, she… Joe that is, is in Italy, I’ve asked a few friends and I’ve heard various answers. Now to end my long winded question, what do you think? does it normally add, take away from, or do nothing to a musical theatre audition?
