Which name do you like better between Patricia or Patti for professionalism?

Patti sounds less severe.
Which name do you like better between Patricia or Patti for professionalism?
Patricia
Which name do you like better between Patricia or Patti for professionalism?
If you are planning to go for serious roles, I would go for Patricia to give yourself that extra something. Patti I think is more for a comedic type actress. Then in time you can go from Patti to Patricia the same way Larry Fisburne went to Laurence Fishburne.
Reply:well i think it depends on your last name. I personally like Patti better, but if it doesn%26#039;t flow as well as Patricia with your last name then I would go with Patricia.


hope this helped!
Reply:For me the names have such a strong association with Patti Lupone and Patricia Neal that I would wonder which actress you would like to be more closely association with?


The name has dropped in popularity so much in the last 40 years, that I you can%26#039;t call yourself Patti without being associated with Patti Lupone, or Peppermint Patti .

Monologues....FAST!!!?

ok i have an audition for annie.


and I need to sing a song *if u have any preferences plzz don%26#039;t be afraid to put your opinion on song choice too!!*


also I need a minute monologue.

THANKS!!!
Monologues....FAST!!!?
Okay! One second I just want you to know I am answering and have an answer!





You should sing %26quot;In my own little corner%26quot; from Cinderella or %26quot;I enjoy being a girl%26quot;





For the monologue....


Why, how impolite of him. I asked him a civil question, and he pretended not to hear me. That%26#039;s not at all nice. [Calling after him] I say, Mr. White Rabbit, where are you going? Hmmm. He won%26#039;t answer me. And I do so want to know what he is late for. I wonder if I might follow him. Why not? There%26#039;s no rule that I mayn%26#039;t go where I please. I--I will follow him. Wait for me, Mr. White Rabbit. I%26#039;m coming, too! [Falling] How curious. I never realized that rabbit holes were so dark . . . and so long . . . and so empty. I believe I have been falling for five minutes, and I still can%26#039;t see the bottom! Hmph! After such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling downstairs. How brave they%26#039;ll all think me at home. Why, I wouldn%26#039;t say anything about it even if I fell off the top of the house! I wonder how many miles I%26#039;ve fallen by this time. I must be getting somewhere near the center of the earth. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny that would be. Oh, I think I see the bottom. Yes, I%26#039;m sure I see the bottom. I shall hit the bottom, hit it very hard, and oh, how it will hurt!

Sally: A %26#039;C%26#039;? A %26#039;C%26#039;? I got a %26#039;C%26#039; on my coathanger sculpture? How could anyone get a %26#039;C%26#039; in coathanger sculpture? May I ask a question? Was I judged on the piece of sculpture itself? If so, is it not true that time alone can judge a work of art? Or was I judged on my talent? If so, is it fair that I be judged on a part of my life over which I have no control? If I was judged on my effort, then I was judged unfairly, for I tried as hard as I could! Was I judged on what I had learned about this project? If so, then were not you, my teacher, also being judged on your ability to transmit your knowledge to me? Are you willing to share my %26#039;C%26#039;? Perhaps I was being judged on the quality of coathanger itself out of which my creation was made...now is this not also unfair? Am I to be judged by the quality of coathangers that are used by the drycleaning establishment that returns our garments? Is that not the responsibility of my parents? Should they not share my %26#039;C%26#039;? (SFX: the teachers voice is heard offstage [brief unintelligible squawk voice mixed with electronic static)) Thank you, Miss Othmar.

Monologues....FAST!!!?
Here%26#039;s a perfect one! I did it when I was 13!





You got the role? You got cast as annie? That role wast mine, im perfect for it. What did I get? (beat) Understudy!?!? For you!? You%26#039;ve got to be kidding me. You can%26#039;t even sing. Im just telling you so you won%26#039;t embarress yourself infront of everyone. And you know that song she sings, the sun will come out tomoorw. That means its not sunny, and it will be rainy and cloudy and gloomy the whoel time you work on the show. Plus that womens going to be so mean to you just because your an orphan. ANd you dotn even get a cat, just a big, old, ugly dog. Gosh I feel sorry for you. (Beat) What!?!? WIll I play Annie for you? I don%26#039;t know. It%26#039;s a pretty pathetic role. (Beat) All right, all right, Ill do it, but only because Im your best friend.
Reply:i recommend the monologue %26quot;Like Mom, Like Kid%26quot;


when i performed it, it was over a minute but I%26#039;m sure you can cut it down.


it was from a book called Encore if I remember correctly...


and for a song i suggest something cute and whimsical maybe %26quot;I feel pretty%26quot; from west side story?


hope this helped


Break a Leg!
Reply:I have done some research on places on the internet where you can find monologues of all types, including teen monologues, monologues for girls, women, men, comical monologues, short comedic monologues, etc. I also answer a lot of questions about how to effectively memorize a monologue as well as about common mistakes that actors often make while performing a monologue for an audition. On this page on my site for new and aspiring actors, you will find all that information including links to the types of monologues you are looking for. http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/comic...





Good luck in your audition.

What are some similarites or differences Olivia and Viola share from Twelfth Night?

I already have





1. Both seem to fall in love with the wrong men


2.Viola is positive, Olivia is negative
What are some similarites or differences Olivia and Viola share from Twelfth Night?
A really good resource for questions like this is the Open Shakespeare site that lets you pull out all the lines of a single character (with or without their cue lines).


It make it much easier to compare lines and reactions to a given situation.


In particular the scene where they first meet highlights their differences. Viola is by far the more eloquent and very dashing (Olivia thinks she is a man). Olivia is deeply attracted to him (her) almost immediately.


===================================


[Enter VIOLA, and Attendants]





* Viola. The honourable lady of the house, which is she?





* Olivia. Speak to me; I shall answer for her.


Your will?





* Viola. Most radiant, exquisite and unmatchable beauty,鈥擨


pray you, tell me if this be the lady of the house, 465


for I never saw her: I would be loath to cast away


my speech, for besides that it is excellently well


penned, I have taken great pains to con it. Good


beauties, let me sustain no scorn; I am very


comptible, even to the least sinister usage. 470





* Olivia. Whence came you, sir?





* Viola. I can say little more than I have studied, and that


question%26#039;s out of my part. Good gentle one, give me


modest assurance if you be the lady of the house,


that I may proceed in my speech. 475





* Olivia. Are you a comedian?





* Viola. No, my profound heart: and yet, by the very fangs


of malice I swear, I am not that I play. Are you


the lady of the house?





* Olivia. If I do not usurp myself, I am. 480





* Viola. Most certain, if you are she, you do usurp


yourself; for what is yours to bestow is not yours


to reserve. But this is from my commission: I will


on with my speech in your praise, and then show you


the heart of my message. 485





* Olivia. Come to what is important in%26#039;t: I forgive you the praise.





* Viola. Alas, I took great pains to study it, and %26#039;tis poetical.





* Olivia. It is the more like to be feigned: I pray you,


keep it in. I heard you were saucy at my gates,


and allowed your approach rather to wonder at you 490


than to hear you. If you be not mad, be gone; if


you have reason, be brief: %26#039;tis not that time of


moon with me to make one in so skipping a dialogue.





* Maria. Will you hoist sail, sir? here lies your way.





* Viola. No, good swabber; I am to hull here a little 495


longer. Some mollification for your giant, sweet


lady. Tell me your mind: I am a messenger.





* Olivia. Sure, you have some hideous matter to deliver, when


the courtesy of it is so fearful. Speak your office.





* Viola. It alone concerns your ear. I bring no overture of 500


war, no taxation of homage: I hold the olive in my


hand; my words are as fun of peace as matter.





* Olivia. Yet you began rudely. What are you? what would you?





* Viola. The rudeness that hath appeared in me have I


learned from my entertainment. What I am, and what I 505


would, are as secret as maidenhead; to your ears,


divinity, to any other%26#039;s, profanation.





* Olivia. Give us the place alone: we will hear this divinity.


[Exeunt MARIA and Attendants]


Now, sir, what is your text? 510





* Viola. Most sweet lady,鈥?





* Olivia. A comfortable doctrine, and much may be said of it.


Where lies your text?





* Viola. In Orsino%26#039;s bosom.





* Olivia. In his bosom! In what chapter of his bosom? 515





* Viola. To answer by the method, in the first of his heart.





* Olivia. O, I have read it: it is heresy. Have you no more to say?





* Viola. Good madam, let me see your face.





* Olivia. Have you any commission from your lord to negotiate


with my face? You are now out of your text: but 520


we will draw the curtain and show you the picture.


Look you, sir, such a one I was this present: is%26#039;t


not well done?





[Unveiling]





* Viola. Excellently done, if God did all. 525





* Olivia. %26#039;Tis in grain, sir; %26#039;twill endure wind and weather.





* Viola. %26#039;Tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white


Nature%26#039;s own sweet and cunning hand laid on:


Lady, you are the cruell%26#039;st she alive,


If you will lead these graces to the grave 530


And leave the world no copy.





* Olivia. O, sir, I will not be so hard-hearted; I will give


out divers schedules of my beauty: it shall be


inventoried, and every particle and utensil


labelled to my will: as, item, two lips, 535


indifferent red; item, two grey eyes, with lids to


them; item, one neck, one chin, and so forth. Were


you sent hither to praise me?





* Viola. I see you what you are, you are too proud;


But, if you were the devil, you are fair. 540


My lord and master loves you: O, such love


Could be but recompensed, though you were crown%26#039;d


The nonpareil of beauty!





* Olivia. How does he love me?





* Viola. With adorations, fertile tears, 545


With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire.





* Olivia. Your lord does know my mind; I cannot love him:


Yet I suppose him virtuous, know him noble,


Of great estate, of fresh and stainless youth;


In voices well divulged, free, learn%26#039;d and valiant; 550


And in dimension and the shape of nature


A gracious person: but yet I cannot love him;


He might have took his answer long ago.





* Viola. If I did love you in my master%26#039;s flame,


With such a suffering, such a deadly life, 555


In your denial I would find no sense;


I would not understand it.





* Olivia. Why, what would you?





* Viola. Make me a willow cabin at your gate,


And call upon my soul within the house; 560


Write loyal cantons of contemned love


And sing them loud even in the dead of night;


Halloo your name to the reverberate hills


And make the babbling gossip of the air


Cry out %26#039;Olivia!%26#039; O, You should not rest 565


Between the elements of air and earth,


But you should pity me!





* Olivia. You might do much.


What is your parentage?





* Viola. Above my fortunes, yet my state is well: 570


I am a gentleman.





* Olivia. Get you to your lord;


I cannot love him: let him send no more;


Unless, perchance, you come to me again,


To tell me how he takes it. Fare you well: 575


I thank you for your pains: spend this for me.





* Viola. I am no fee%26#039;d post, lady; keep your purse:


My master, not myself, lacks recompense.


Love make his heart of flint that you shall love;


And let your fervor, like my master%26#039;s, be 580


Placed in contempt! Farewell, fair cruelty.





[Exit]





* Olivia. %26#039;What is your parentage?%26#039;


%26#039;Above my fortunes, yet my state is well:


I am a gentleman.%26#039; I%26#039;ll be sworn thou art; 585


Thy tongue, thy face, thy limbs, actions and spirit,


Do give thee five-fold blazon: not too fast:


soft, soft!


Unless the master were the man. How now!


Even so quickly may one catch the plague? 590


Methinks I feel this youth%26#039;s perfections


With an invisible and subtle stealth


To creep in at mine eyes. Well, let it be.


What ho, Malvolio!

I need help finding out what play this monologue is from.?

This is a little part of it:





Gosh, kids, Santa%26#039;s running a little late today. You might even say he%26#039;s been a little under the weather. He%26#039;s had uh, uh ... stomach virus. Yeah, that%26#039;s it, a stomach virus. Ha. (Beat.) Okay, kids, gather round %26#039;cause I%26#039;ve got a big secret to tell you. (Beat.) You know, I can%26#039;t lie to you. Santa wants us to be truthful, right? Well, his tummy does hurt along with his head but it%26#039;s because of something we adults call a hangover





yeah. i got it from a website and it said that it was from a play but it didnt say which one. The character is supposed to be a mall elf?
I need help finding out what play this monologue is from.?
Email the site owner or webmaster and ask them. I suspect it%26#039;s from a play no one would publish and the guy who wrote it just posted the monologue.





If it%26#039;s for an audition that requires it be from a play, pick a legitimate work (NOT a movie that wasn%26#039;t a play first).

What are some good songs for an audition for a 15 year old girl that's voice cant go very high?

I sang Avril Lavigne last year and her pitch level in Complicated and Sk8er Boi are good.


This is for a school play so no swears in the songs please.
What are some good songs for an audition for a 15 year old girl that%26#039;s voice cant go very high?
You could try some Wicked songs, or for something more challenging, Anything Goes. Wicked has For Good, which can be a solo although it was originally a duet. Anything Goes has, of course, Anything Goes, as well as Blow, Gabriel, Blow.


Good luck!!

HALLELUJIA!








girl at our school sang it at the talent show, and everyone was amazed i think some people even cried
Reply:Try something by Ingrid Michaelson, or Chantal Kreviazuk.





Both have fairly even voices...might even try Imogen Heap? All of their music is light-hearted, not explicit.





These are some you might like:





%26quot;These Days%26quot; - Chantal Kreviazuk


%26quot;Before You%26quot; - Chantal Kreviazuk


%26quot;Overboard%26quot; - Ingrid Michaelson


%26quot;Boys and Girls%26quot; - Ingrid Michaelson


%26quot;The Way I Am%26quot; - Ingrid Michaelson





Or if you%26#039;re feeling particularly daring, do something classic: Carly Simon, The Zombies, Doris Day...you could even do a Beatles song. (T.V. Carpio%26#039;s version of %26quot;I Want to Hold Your Hand%26quot; from Across the Universe is divine.)





A great choice would be %26quot;New Soul%26quot; by Yael Na茂m.





Good Luck!
Reply:Well it depends on the role you are auditioning for.





some songs avalible:


1. Beauty and the Beast - Beauty and the Beast


2. I Got the Sun in the Morning - Annie Get Your Gun


3. There are Worst Things I Could Do - Grease


4. On My Own - Les Miserables


5. My Favorite Things - The Sound of Music


6. Missing You (My Bill) - The Civil War: The American Musical


7. Home - Beauty and the Beast


8. Once Upon a Time - Jekyll and Hyde the Musical


9. etc because there are WAY more then what i mentioned





that%26#039;s just a variety of songs. a few things to keep in mind while picking out a song:


1. BE COMFORTABLE.


2. never choose a song from the musical ur auditiong for (u want to show the director that u know more music then that one show)


3. if its a play/ musical, choose songs from a play/ musical. pop songs r great but not what is typicaly found on Traditonal broadway......just modern broadway.


4. if the option of choosing a 16-32 bar measure, sing the bars that u can do the best. don%26#039;t pick the higher end of the song if u can%26#039;t sing it.








hope that helped. this is advice given to me by fellow altos/mezzo sopranos who have auditioned with those songs and from years of musical training.








GOOD LUCK! =]

Reply:Find music from Les Miserables and sing Eponine%26#039;s songs like %26quot;A Little Fall of Rain%26quot; or %26quot;On my Own.%26quot; That%26#039;s if you are auditioning for a musical or something.
Reply:If it%26#039;s for a musical, don%26#039;t sing a pop song - ie NO MILEY CYRUS. Or Kelly Clarkson. Or any other pop singer. It doesn%26#039;t show off anything except that you haven%26#039;t done your homework on what is required - sing something from a musical. Also, avoid songs from anything which is currently popular or big on Broadway - which means Wicked, Hairspray, RENT, Les Mis, Spring Awakening, Phantom of the Opera or Avenue Q, purely because everyone else will sing songs from those shows and you won%26#039;t stand out from the crowd. Stay a long way away from High School Musical also. The suggestion of Anything Goes is a good one - there are some fantastic songs in that show; you could look at %26quot;Roxie%26quot; from Chicago (the first verse will be all you need), %26quot;Don%26#039;t Tell Mama%26quot; from Cabaret, %26quot;Heaven Help My Heart%26quot; from Chess, %26quot;Adelaide%26#039;s Lament%26quot; from Guys and Dolls, or %26quot;As Long As He Needs Me%26quot; from Oliver. You need to try and pick a song that suits the show you%26#039;re auditioning for (similar style - same composer if you can manage it), shows your voice off and also is a song which you can show character through.

Is there a kiss scene in les mis?

i might possibly be cosette, and i havent seen it in years. anyone know if theres some lip locking to be had?
Is there a kiss scene in les mis?
Well if there is......it would be with Marius, your lover and new Husband near the end of the show. Since it is theatre, there are PLENTY of ways to %26quot;fake%26quot; kissing.
Is there a kiss scene in les mis?
Congratulations on working on the best musical ever. I would say probably yes, but it will almost certainly have to do with the production choices.
Reply:yes there is...good luck!
Reply:OMG!!! You have no idea how much I love Les Miz! It is so amazing that you are going to be in it!!! (I%26#039;m just a little bit jealous.....) As Cosette, you%26#039;ll probably have to kiss Marius, but depending on the actual production, they might cut it if you%26#039;re uncomfortable. If it%26#039;s a High School production, they%26#039;ll edit a lot out of the script anyway. Congratulations!!! Break a leg!
