In the Holding Room Episode 5

Episode Summary

Nicolette Hart in “Performer Spotlight” tells us what it was like auditioning for Rent and landing in the Broadway cast as Maureen, as well as successfully auditioning for The Wedding Singer and Bette Middler, and what she means when she says “You are in the business of auditioning, and not of Broadway”. In “Thank You 5” I talk about how to find new cast album recordings that you might not be familiar with. Sean Michael Flowers in “Professors Corner” tells us about creating your brand and why you shouldn’t be singing and sounding like your idols.
