Your welcome! Thanks for the love! My name is Athena Reich and I'm the girl in the videos. When they ask you for a 2nd song, it means they want to see more of you. It means they are interested. Sometimes when they love you they don't ask for a second song cause they know they love. Sometimes when they are intrigued but not sure, they ask for a 2nd song. So, basically, it's impossible to really know what they are thinking when they ask for a 2nd song. It's usually a good sign though.

i love how passionate about this you are. Really comes through:-)

@Megsuperstar Yeah, but that's only in the show. In someone's life, the song can be about being shy.

[Megsuperstar]

Shy is about not being shy. It's a joke, because she isn't at all shy. The song is about trying to convince the prince that you are shy when you aren't at all. I do like her advice otherwise.

Share your monologue videos and other acting work with other aspiring actors @ "How's My Acting". Google it or visit the link in my channel.

It depends what song you're singing.

A song can be sung 3 different ways depending on your song.

1. To yourself such as Part Of Your World - The Little Mermaid (It's ok to change focus, let them see you think)

2. To one person such as What I've Been Looking For - High School Musical (Do what Athena said)

3. To an audience such as Seventy Six Trombones - The Music Man (It's ok to include the panel but look around them too so they feel apart of the crowd you're singing to.)
