thank you.

i am auditioning for belle this week and i was looking for a little inspiration, i was unsuccessful until i saw your video. you are the only one i listened all the way through. great job.

any tips for my audition?

i was the beast so i worked a lot with our Belle. you should definitely watch the disney movie version to see how she talks and composes herself (she and I both did that for auditions and for rehearsals. it helped a lot). Just try and put yourself in her shoes to understand why she says and does everything. it will give you a lot of perspective on her part...

good singing wise but the dress and hair does not flatter you at all.

Maybe slightly too operatic for Belle, but beautiful. On a huge professional stage, this girl would make a brilliant Belle because of the strength of her voice - it would not strain it and ruin it. Lovely!

@babybackribswithbbq No voices are ever placed back. Whoever told you that is incorrect Just because a sound is richer and darker doesn't mean that it's not sung forward. Singing into the back of the throat is bad technique, you should always sing up and forward regardless of the timbre or genre of the voice.

@Kysentha You can be a soprano but have a "rich" voice. The timbre and tone of the voice doesn't dictate the classical range. Me, for example. I have a much lower and "richer" voice than a friend of mine, yet we are both sopranos. This woman is probably a dramatic soprano as opposed to a lyric soprano.

Gorgeous voice, dreadful wig and most terrible and unfortunately fitted costume.

IDK what it is, but she doesn't seem like a Belle... she has a pretty voice though

omg i didn't know miss trunchbull was in beauty and the beast!

[AngelWivABentHalo]

I didn't mean opera; I said "operatic", implying her voice is too classically trained for what was written in a contemporary style. On a WE stage, a well trained voice is needed for annuciation, & for it to not be strained. I never said anything against trained voices: I've learnt in my lessons that everything related to singing improves (as you would know); your posture, your breathing etc. My point was that this girl's voice cannot be fully appreciated by this style; it's not very demanding.

That's not opera. Trust me. She's just been trained properly. That's how my voice is and I was trained for a year at Millikin University (alma mater to Jodi Benson and the original Little Mermaid on Broadway). Voices are much better when they're trained properly like hers.

Im gonna be belle in my school musical now i am very confident myslef

[bootface]

I disagree, I much prefer a classic/operatic take on belle rather than the pop belter crap thats common place nowerdays
