Let me start by saying that I have done 4 years of high school theatre, so I have plenty of experience working through my specific issues. I’ve only ever needed to change one word in a script during a real show, and it was “lummy” with a British accent, I used “blimey” instead.

I have an audition on Friday, with directors who don’t know me, and, therefore, don’t know that I have a stutter. As I stated, I have methods that, with intense practice, allow me to not stutter during the performance of a show, but in the beginning phases of a show, it can make acting a bit difficult for me, and, to a much lesser extent, other actors.

As my audition only requires singing, the directors very likely won’t hear it, since I don’t stutter when I sing. However, I do want to disclose it to them so that they aren’t caught off guard during rehearsals provide I get cast.

How do I go about telling them without making it sound like it will negatively impact the show?

Anyone with theatre experience…or even those without any. How do I go about telling them without making it sound like it will negatively impact the show?
