My casting type has always been ensemble or the stereotypical fat character because of my weight, my vocals haven't really been appreciated very much because the first thing directors see is 'too fat' for leading roles, so I've started dieting because I want to find my /true/ casting type and ngl I'm really looking forward to losing this weight to find out what kind of role I look best for :)

I had to play a boy in my last high school production, I was really really heartbroken. I felt really bad about myself. I felt like I wasn’t “pretty enough” to play a girl. But once I got into the character I was able to both, relate to him and separate myself from him. Playing that character was so different from who I actually am. He was a “bad boy”, he was the heartthrobs best friend. After talking to my director about how I felt so bad about myself playing a boy, she said “hailey we casted you as a boy, because you’re the only one who can do it, all the other girls wouldn’t be able to pull it off.” Which is a huge compliment. Anyways, even though I saw it as a bad experience at first, I learned to love the character I was playing.

@shmoogle7489 5 лет назад

I went to an arts school for most of my elementary school years. They always casted the same three girls. Eventually I transferred schools and in eighth grade I starred as Maria in The Sound Of Music. It was really great to have finally been given a chance. I can’t wait to audition for more roles! I have a feeling I’ll often be casted as children because I’m 5’0 and have a relatively high voice.

@trevormcneil4310 6 лет назад

I've had trouble getting comedy roles even though this is what I do best because a) I'm a tenor and b) I have what my friends refer to as "resting psycho face". A combo which tends to get me cast as sort of sexy/scary villains/anti-heroes. The closest I'm likely to get to comedy is Orin in Little Shop of Horrors or J.D. in Heathers.

@thecomedyclownfish1731 7 лет назад

For me, you can pretty much just tick any box that's dorky/nerdy/geeky, and soft spoken shy guy, basically any beta male and/or comedic relief character you can think of, I can do. However, as a guy, I have yet to gain a single shred of muscle, so I can't be any kind of intimidating gangster, or Mr. All-American Badass

Everything you're saying makes so much sense!!! However, the only thing that sucks is people of color get automatically cast as certain things just because of their race. Which is terrible, because personally even if you're style depends on your appearance (of course) I don't think basing off of race is okay, I guess I think they're different? I'm not saying you were talking about that or anything of course, but I just thought I'd say that I think basing a type off of race sucks the most about type casting : TTT (Unless they mention their race in the show then lolol that all good, like in hairspray) But that's just something I'd like to mention!

@ceebee685 5 лет назад

I've played everything from shy, lovesick heroines to old ladies to the villain. I've been told by casting directors I'm pretty versatile. But the parts I feel the most comfortable in playing are always the sassy, snarky characters. It suits my physical appearance in a way too, haha

My casting type is "the rich bitchy mean girl" well I love it. Maybe one day I can play Heather Chandler or Regina George.

@1011Koolkatty 7 лет назад

this video helped me a lot!! i've been struggling with what my type might be because i've been cast as motherly characters, but i've also been ingenues. so it's a bit difficult trying to find my type, and it depends on the director, too. but this is helping!! thanks! :)

@Kath_Steele 7 лет назад

@Jesse.with.no.i 5 лет назад

Im always the mean girl, even when it’s a show where there shouldn’t be one!!Such as being a judgmental lamb in charlottes web. Or even being a gossipy mean girl like flamingo in Alice in Wonderland! How does that even make sense!!

@ghoststories1228 6 лет назад

I was hoping you might be able to help me out. I'm a female and I also happen to be a strong tenor. I can hit the lower notes of an alto range, but definitely not the upper ones. And my problem is I always audition for male roles, but I never get cast because they want a 'real guy'. And it's truly disheartening because even though I love theater, and I'm incredibly passionate about it, I can never land a role as a male character because of the fact I have female anatomy lol. I'd appreciate if you have any advice that may help!

@missoringasm7144 6 лет назад

SarChasm Lord I'm the exact same way. I can usually match the low notes for male roles (I can match most notes in female roles too but that's besides the point. I was gifted with a decently large range which I'm like super grateful for lol) and all of my favourite dream roles are male roles. I NEVER get cast for them because I'm female. Like seriously if I got the chance to snap my fingers and just turn male right now I would.

@madalynnmason9381 6 лет назад

I was cast as male before so just keep trying

Wow...you are so nice. I know that sounds a bit weird but it's refreshing to see someone we enjoys Theatre, participates in it, and isn't mean about it. I know several people in Theatre that are rude, critical, and scary. I enjoy theatre a lot...but I fear to work with these people or if I will even grow in that sort of environment. I haven't been in Theatre for a long time, my singing ain't that good but I'd love to be in musicals, but more over I feel that I've receeded* so far from it that I'm just not that good. So, I'm happy I found your channel. You give me confidence and make me hopeful for the future because of your personality and helpful information. Thank you!❤

@Kath_Steele 7 лет назад

+Isabelle Roaming isabelle!!! Oh my GOODNESS!!!! 🦄💖😱🌟 thank you so, so much. I remember how intimidated I was when I first started theatre and how everyone had an agenda + wasn't willing to help me learn. That's the EXACT reason I started a RU-vid channel--to help fellow theatre lovers learn + grow + hang out in a safe space ❤️ so, THANK YOU for your kind words!! Happy to have you in the #TheatreThursdayFam 🎉💕🎭

When I was ten, I could belt, I was also a hardcore soprano (by hardcore I meant my voice was as high as Ariana Grande's voice) and I was auditioning for a musical, and somebody pointed at me and said "This play is 8+, go find your mommy and stand with her." So I said "I'm 10." So they said "No your not sweetie, go find your mom." Oh, did I mention I was really short? Well I was. So, I went to get my mom and I had to have her confirm that I was ten. I was casted as a five year old, but at least I was the lead role, btw the play was about a five year old who had to manage through kindergarten, while her home life was falling apart.

Some of my roles: - Penny Pingleton from Hairspray - Cady Heron from Mean Girls Roles I'm gonna do soon: - Brooke Lohst from Be More Chill - Sherrie Christian from Rock of Ages - Summer Hathaway from School of Rock Yep, excited!

@chelseacheckington7421 7 лет назад

You mention hair being part of your type in your other video. Question: Would it be weird to wear a wig to an audition? I have very short hair, which gives me a very specific look. I own lots of wigs though and can look extremely different with hair.

@lucycopan8481 5 лет назад

That would be a good idea based on the role you want to play

@arifasig4708 2 года назад

I have super long brunette hair 😭 my community theater is doing the Grease Musical and I want to audition for the role of Sandy…I’m not blonde tho!! 😢so like I’m scared that’s gonna sway audition results

When you’re casting type goes from old mother reaching for success to little boy who’s obsessed with musical theatre. How I don’t know? I’m 15, female, and 5 foot 10 in.

I realize I'm late on this video by a few months, but I just found your channel and love it! (subscribed) Hello! My name is Super-Shorty-Tumbler-Dancing-McTan-Chick! If you ever need an "ethnic" girl to play an ethnic role, I'm your girl! If you ever need someone to tumble across the stage during a big group number, I'm your girl! If you ever need more dancers for a more dance-oriented group number, I do that too! #AlwaysATypecast

Totally understand this! Mainly have played villains in my community theatre for our spring musicals. Ex: I played the wicked witch of the west 2 years ago, and last year I played Ursala in the little mermaid. This year the spring musical is/was beauty and the beast (the show is this weekend, hehe) so I kind of was at a loss. No female villain. I wanted to adjust my type to try to fit Belle, I tried my best, maybe a little too much, and it showed! I'm a little too uppity, too much of a perfectionist, and very over the top in my acting. I ended up playing Madame de la grande bouche, which after getting over the fact that i wasn't cast as Belle, has been a much more authentic experience. (I don't think I'll ever have to navigate a huge, on wheels, wardrobe costume again, hehe! ) I think I may always be a villain/mean girl, but I'm okay with that. :)

@ChadBarnier 6 лет назад

I always think about the fact that I have a lot of tattoos and if I should even go in for auditions. Guess it makes playing Roger/Rent or Dewey Finn/School of Rock pretty doable!

@katieblock6659 7 лет назад

Hello, i need some advice ;-; next year my school is doing Phantom of the opera next year. And i would love to be Christine. the only thing I'm concerned about is that I've been the lead for three years in a row. And i don't know if they will still pick me to be the lead ;-;

@kaitie648 5 лет назад

I’ve been cast as the mother in Hansel and Gretel, because I was one of the older people in the theatre camp and could be very mean. I was also cast as Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream because I could be kind of sweet and ditzy. I’ve been told I look like the Fanning Sisters, Chloë Grace Moretz and Amanda Seyfried. I have the ability to change my voice speaking and singing, I can inflect really well and change pitch easily. I’m quite small, 5’1 or 5’2 and I am often described as having a baby face. I could play a kid or maybe a teen.
