HAIR Open Call tomorrow (Jan. 21)

Oh, I know that. The casting agents will always suggest songs from the show if people come in not having a prepared audition song. What I'm saying is that if you ask most people, hell if you watch American Idol, the advice will be to do something different in order to be remembered as the person who did something different and also not be compared to the other gazillion people who sang that same song. Not to mention, if you have a prepared audition song you know that song frontwards and backwards from practicing it so long as well as being used to singing it with different accompanists. The kids they showed were singing flat, sharp, fast, etc.

^Absolutely correct. But, 1) If it's a song you'd sing at an audition for another show, then do it and 2) sometimes it's easier to just show the casting director exactly how you fit into the matrix of characters of the show.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

I made the fatal mistake of working all morning before my callback so my voice was tired and a song that I can normally sing famously sounded like a dying cow. It was just both casting directors in the room with the accompanist.

Aw, watching that video makes me wish I could have been there. It's been a goal of mine to go to one of those cattle call type auditions and wait in line since 1 am. Especially for a show like Hair, which is right up my alley. But I have to say that the majority of people featured were good, and the funny thing is that I recognized one of the guys they interviewed in line! Congrats to those who went and got callbacks, hopefully I'll be seeing you when I go to see the show.
