More Audition Stories 2021 with Will Swenson, Mykal Kilgore, Gabrielle Ruiz, Justin Guarini and more!
For most theater actors, Broadway is the ultimate status to attain in this industry. It’s the highest level any of us can reach and is the utmost definition of making it, but just because an actor has been on a Broadway stage, it doesn’t mean they don’t go through the same frustrations and doubts that we go through. That really gets to the heart of Why I’ll Never Make It and especially today’s episode, which is brought to you by We Audition (get 25% off membership with promo code: WINMI25).
This is part two of my focus on Audition Stories: the good, the bad, and the hysterical. You’ll hear from the following Broadway stars about the trials and tribulations of auditioning, including those pesky self-tapes...
Mykal Kilgore - actor and R&B singer from MOTOWN and HAIR
Hannah Elless - actress and singer from GODSPELL and BRIGHT STAR
Douglas Sills - iconic leading man from SCARLET PIMPERNEL and THE ADDAMS FAMILY
Gabrielle Ruiz - quintessential triple threat from IF/THEN and CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND
Geoffrey Owens - actor and director best known as Elvin from THE COSBY SHOW
Sally Wilfert - actress and singer from ASSASSINS and KING DAVID
Will Swenson - actor and singer from WAITRESS and PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT
Justin Guarini - American Idol and Broadway actor from WICKED and IN TRANSIT
Here's a special gift to you for listening to these stories (and reading these notes) - a bonus video episode with Adrienne Walker sharing her LION KING audition story. Enjoy!
