I have to present a project at school about myself and career goals and coincidentally am assigned to present to my theatre director. How do I tell her I want to pursue musical theatre without the possibility of being criticized? I don't have as much talent/experience as others in our department.
As a theatre director, she should be supportive of anyone wanted to pursue a career in theatre. Don't be nervous! She should guide you in the direction you need to go!
Thanks for the response! (regarding the 19yo post by me). :) I always wanted to start on my vocals but can't seem to find a good time to do so (since I'm also studying now). But thanks anyways. :)
You're welcome!

My vocal range is about D3 to B4 (on a day with slight cough apparently), so what type of roles in theatre might suit me more? Since I'm mostly baritone and lesser of tenor. Thanks!
There are many baritone roles in theatre! Baritones are usually the villains! So get your evil on!
Am a 19yo guy with no prior drama, musical or theatrical training. What do you recommend me to do to start off? I mean, I do sing a little and I'm sort of a upper baritone to lower tenor range. Also, any recommendations on what kind of plays might suit me more (after I'm well trained?)
Start taking voice lessons and try to find some acting classes (try your local community theatre). Also most community theatres don't require experience so audition there to try to build up your resume. If your 19 then you can see what classes your college (if your in college) offers sometimes you can take classes there without being a theatre major. Any kind of experience is good!
I'm thinking of auditioning for Elder Cunningham in The Book of Mormon but my voice is a regular/operatic mix. Will that work or not?
If you are auditioning for Elder Cunningham, you may want to tone down the opera. But if you have been trained in opera, you shouldn't have a hard time adapting to a different style.
Audition songs for Jane in Mary Poppins and/or the two youngest daughters in Fiddler on the Roof? Thank you(:
Look at other younger roles like annie (but don't sing tomorrow!), or matilda. Also look for songs from shows around the same time period as fiddler and Mary Poppins (1960's) :)

I have some extra cash and I want to buy some songbooks. Do you have any suggestions on the best brands or specific books? I already have The Teen's Musical Theatre Collection: Young Women's Edition. I am a mezzo-soprano.
I would just choose something with a wide variety and something that will help you

I'm auditioning for jimmy in thoroughly modern millie and what song do you recommend that's not lower than an e-f
For jimmy I always recommend Santa Fe, corner in the sky, or giants in the sky.
I'm auditioning for pippin and I want to play pippin. I've only been a munchkin in the wizard of oz. what are ny chances? and what song should I sing?
If you work hard and practice you can have as big a chance as you want! Just because you don't have much experience doesn't mean you can't get a big part. I would recommend singing Santa Fe or giants in the sky!

If you were to write a book what would it be about?
I actually had an idea for a book the other day in the orthodontists office... About a tooth... Yeah, I wasn't thinking straight...
This is probably a dumb question. What's the difference between operatic belting and musical theatre belting?
Operatic belting is belting with more vibrato and with more of a head voice, musical theatre belting is more with the chest and can be a bit more nasally. And no question is a dumb question!

Are you still friends with someone from kindergarten?
Yes!
Is having an operatic voice good or bad in musical theatre? I can try to sing in regular voice but my operatic voice comes out on its own. I don't know if it will hinder me in musical theatre.
It can be good for some roles, but for a lot of roles you should probably work on your belting

Alright! Thanks! And do you know any really interesting monologues for a 17 yr old girl that's from a full length play??
I always go to Alice in Wonderland for monologues but I would also recommend one of Laura's monologues from The Glass Menagerie
Yeah it's for an audition for GSA and I want to sing Without You but I don't know if the part where it's only Roger if I should just let the accompanist play or try to tell them to cut it out or what??
I would just try to choose only the part where one person is singing and if that's not long enough choose a solo song. I wouldn't let the accompanist just play because that gives you less time to sing and show off your voice
