Well first off you should not do a pop song; and you should do a song from the play!. Even though they do not require it (they do unconsciously), they will be more impressed if you can sing a part from the play than if you sing a pop song that anybody can sing!. And if you pick a part that you want to audition, you will most likely end off with a part that you will enjoy!. The key in auditions is being specific!. And pick a part that fits your personality!. For instance my sister is a goofy girl and she tried out for the girl that had the annoying life in "Oklahoma"!. She got the part, but not because she was the best singer or actress; her personality was the best trait

However, if you do sing a pop song I would not go all Katie Perry on them, if you know what I mean!. I would keep it laid back and not all bouncy!. And smiling never hurts ;)Www@QuestionHome@Com
