How to Audition for Broadway : How Many Bars to Sing for an Audition

[FunSizedOddball]

what is a bar?

[thehattedmusician]

@FunSizedOddball A bar is a measurement used in music. Sort of like an inch on a ruler.

@thehattedmusician Your first statement is correct, however the literal length of a bar can vary... never literally "measure" the bar. A bar of music is a section containing the right amount of notes noted in the time signature. It is separated by lines like so; | that go from the top to the bottom of the staff.

yes, non union. Yes, i wrote the 'script' but they created the topics that they wanted me to talk about, so they produced it. they have changed it, so that now when i create videos, I say my name at the beginning at end. But this video is over a year old, back when I wasn't allowed to do that. :)

[athenareich]

[Tonic137]

embed it in the video with an editing tool silly <3

[athenareich]

wish I could but expert village hired me to do these videos and I don't have the rights to them. they are the ones who uploaded them and have the capacity to edit :)

[Tonic137]

But.... you're the creator, it's not like they gave you a script? Was this a non-union gig?
