huwaw! playshop mems.
WAAAAH! grabe!!! it's a sign!
i was searching google for auditions for upcoming stage plays. and then when i typed in "trumpets playshop auditions" guess what?
one of the sites that popped up was
tymeless 's old site wherein she put the songs we used for our play, "Putting It Together", and the edited versions. we had to edit them to fit our theme.
now you know how people only see the final product when it comes to stage plays right? so we decided to show them what happens behind the scenes. clever, eh? it's basically cut down to four parts: The Narrators, The Auditions, The Rehearsals and The Final Product. hehehe. i'm proud to say that so far, no class has outdone that play. we were taught by tita menchu (lauchengco-yulo) and monique villa (we love you. we know you're resting in His arms now).
i played an auditioner, a girl who couldn't sing. rarr. and this was my wonderful and funny song! maaan. if you heard me sing it... lagot. hahaha. it was supposed to be sung off-key, which i did without any trouble ;) whether that's a good thing, i do not know. *comment is hogi's (i didn't put in all of the lyrics, but this is enough to give you the gist. fun!!)
SING
("A Chorus Line")
KRISTINE
See, I really couldn't sing
I could never really sing
What I couldn't do was...
AL
Sing!
KRISTINE
I have trouble with the...
AL
Notes!
KRISTINE
It goes all around my...
AL
Throat!
KRISTINE
It's a terrifying...
AL
Thing!
KRISTINE
See, I really couldn't hear
Which note was lower or was...
AL
Higher!
KRISTINE
Which is why I disappear
If someone says, "Let's start a...
AL
Choir!"
KRISTINE
Hey, when I begin to...
AL
Shriek!
KRISTINE
It's a across between I...
AL
Squeak!
KRISTINE
And a quiver or I...
AL
Moan!
KRISTINE
It's a little like a...
AL
Croak!
KRISTINE
Or the record player...
AL
Broke!
KRISTINE
What it doesn't have is...
AL
Tone!
KRISTINE
Oh, I know you're thinking what a crazy...
AL
Ding-a-ling
KRISTINE
But I really couldn't...
AL
Sing!
KRISTINE
I could never really...
AL
Sing!
KRISTINE
What I couldn't do was...
AL sing!
NOTE: This is one of the songs we used in the show's audition scene. In "A Chorus Line" it was about a girl who couldn't sing because she was always off-key, so her husband, Al, had to sing the end notes for her. In our own show, it's about a girl (coincidentally, the girl who played this part was also named Kristine) who auditions for the show, but starts to have second thoughts when she learns that she was supposed to sing. She sings the song on her own, with the final words going way off-key. (I even auditioned for this role with Kris, but she pulled it off really well that we unanimously chose her to play the part.)
