when you audition, make everyone believe you are comfortable with the character and know exactly what you should be doing, even if you dont!. express your emotions incredibly well, and speak with a loud clear voice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it's imortant to understand her motive- which is of course her love for mr!. t!. She's so helplessly in love with him that she would do anything for him- that is were your coming from!. everything you do in ur audition should portray that longing to the point of arguable madness!. But she's tough on the outside obviously!.

im sry i never saw the musical but i hear the mrs!. lovett is more of an obvious vilan in it and that the movie humanized her a bit- i don't know if that is so or if i misread the article but that is another thing to consider!. Personally i loved TB's deeply personal approach to the musical!.

Definitely work on the accent!. Listen to her speak in clips from youtube and stand in front of the mirror and watch yourself say the words because facial expressions change when you speak with an accent you're not used to!. Then watch her body language!. she tends to move in a choppy manner, especially with her neck!. It is usually at an odd angle!. This might be harder when you're singing but try to slightly tilt your head most of the time!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
