looking for handwriting samples for tattoo !

Hello!!

I'm wanting to get a tattoo of the lyric 'Look, I made a hat' in Sondheim's handwriting but I'm struggling to find samples. Does anyone have any leads on Sondheim's handwriting samples or owns any of his books where there might be examples? I'm expecting to have to piece together the handwriting but I'm not sure where to start - all help is appreciated :)

“In Pieces” - Ohio female key.

So this was just a thought i had and wanted to see if it was an outlandish idea.

Recently, I had this idea to put Ohio in my book. (because I’m obsessed with the piece, and it matches some of the main character types im looking to pursue) I also feel transposing it into my vocal range (I’m a slightly low-leaning mezzo) would stunningly show some of my vocal colours and expressivity.

So I guess my main question is: Have any of you done this before/is it ok for me to do even though it’s a male tenor repertoire piece?

High Notes?

So I want to audition for Regina George in the fall, and really want to nail her song “World Burn” the problem is that the end of the song when she says mean three times my voice tends to crack.

I’ve tried everything to make sure I’m not straining and actually doing what I need but nothings working. I’ve done warm ups, stayed away from dairy, drank warm tea, etc. but my voice still cracks.

Does anyone have experience with playing Regina George? if so, how’d you nail her high notes and what song did you use for your audition?

Thank you all so much!

Hi! I'm 15 and need help for my first self tape audition.

Hi bestiessss (sorry if that's cringe) I'm auditioning in a junior production of shrek. And as an alto/low mezzo I'm auditioning for Dragon. Any songs you guys think I should use???? This is my first audition and though I really want the role I know i may not get it. But anything here helps. (I'm a self taught singer btw)

Some options I've considered:

Poor unfortunate souls - the little mermaid

Shy - once upon a mattress

There are worse things I can do -Grease

I Won't Say I'm In Love - Hercules

Almost There - Princess And The Frog (Though I'm scared this one may be controversial for me to do since I'm not a POC)

Again anything helps! Plz and thankyou. Byeeee!

What do I do

I’m bad at singing in my opinion when I sing it sounds horrible to me but I’m great at acting and can even cry on command but I have never done theater and my lack of singing talent makes that seem impossible I really love theater and I want to one day do Heathers if somehow possible any help?
