yee gahds! Zaneeta should look youthful, but in her teens, big pretty smile, she's well read (since that's about all those teens had to do), yet voice is bright and almost nasal. Lots of eye contact and large gestures from the waist up (shoulders, head, eyes, hands on hips etc). The original movie Zaneeta is pretty close to the original character. Break a leg!! Fun show, I directed it about 4 years ago-

HS/choir director

be confident, they know you are nervous. always smile. no matter what. if you mess up, dont make a big deal. make them laugh with you, if you really screw up. just be like, "well we can look past that right?" smile smile smile. :D be the part. walk in like you are that person. say hi im ____ ____ also known as Zaneeta. State your background (research her background) as your own.

good luck!

just study and hope u get the part

be sure to make eye contact with the judges. get into charecter. make up a voice, get her additude.
