Hi Adrianna1312, you normally say it, usually name, age, height and who you are reading for and normally you get a full length shot of them then zoom in, sometimes they like you to stand sideways and show both sides as well as front. Always read the instructions very carefully as they all tend to be...

Exceedingly good point - had never looked at it that way!

Yes us too, we always do slate in normal voice.

We had that too, it is quite insensitive :/

Good point Thalias_Dad, I did read that Finding Neverland's transfer to the West End may be indefinitely postponed now because that is also a Weinstein co-production, tentacles everywhere

Hi Bethjaneg
Oh that is super helpful thank you, I was wrong about the animal thing then. I will PM you this evening if that is okay

DS is going to be doing his Lamda grade 3 next month and the text he has chosen is the Black Beauty monologue, which is when Ginger sees Black Beauty for the first time in years.

Definitely do pop, we went and DS did a ballad (he has a very chorister type voice) and it was definitely the wrong choice, also as the others say have a few options in pop and a MT piece up your sleeve although I have a feeling they prefer the pop to the MT, I can't remember where I heard or read t...

These are the details on Jo's website:
Venue – Sir William Borlase, Marlow. Four days of fun with Mark (Wedgie) Hedges, Carrie Grant (West End Musical Director) & other friends! Age 7 upwards.

I also have a boy doing ballet (but younger 9) and yes it is a nightmare, I joined a Facebook group: Ballet Tutus And Dancewear For Sale Second Hand Or New and I keep an eye on there for any boys dance outfits, even if they are too big or I don't need them, I tend to snap them up 'just in case' (pro...
