How to Prepare for a Musical Audition - Part 3

Host: What can you take away from the auditioning experience?
Jennifer Rutherford: Remember if you are auditioning for a role or a part in a play, or a show, musical theater, they’re looking for a type of person. They’re looking for someone who not only sounds the part but looks the part. Unless they’re going to take whatever they can get and then put makeup and wigs on them until they look like the part but most of the time they’re going to be looking for a type. So your best bet is to audition for those types that you suit first of all and if you are not doing that, then don’t be disappointed if they don’t pick you. But if go on audition over and over again you’re going to get more and more inured to this kind of thing. It’s going to become easier, you’re going to take it less personally but don’t worry about if you don’t get a part. If you don’t get it just try, try again that's really—it is a learning experience and that you’ve got the chance to give it another try another time. And maybe because you didn't get this part something better is going to come along. You just never know.
