Theatre

Just noticed that rehearsals for this year's pantomime starts next weekend!
=0.0=

This year we're doing Sleeping Beauty, and what surprises me about things is that our director has had to write the script from scratch as we haven't done it before...
(she's written enough scripts that we've almost been coasting on updated scripts the last few years)

Again, I'll be in the chorus, as I'm not confident enough to try a character role yet.
First read-through is next week, so while I've read the script (and even with the voices of several people involved in my head), I still need the director's guidance as to tone.
(plus the songs involved were not included in the first draft)

The theatre company is also going to perform a play in March of 2015, The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie.
One indication I received was that parts are paid, as opposed to the panto where involvement is voluntary.

I'm quite interested in trying out a more traditional Theatre role, but there is one requirement I'm not sure I can handle.

As it says on the audition page:
PROFESSIONAL LEVEL ENGLISH ACCENTS ONLY.

I'll be talking to one of the people involved and see what that's about at the read-through...

Couldn't tell you if your voice has US inflections - my interpretation of accents isn't that accurate. I also avoid listening to my own voice - I've always hated it.

I just do my best to imitate other people. Foxaroo hear, foxaroo speak.
