I haven’t posted in a while so I thought I’d post what I’ve been doing which is auditioning. The specific clips, tho far from perfect, are what I call my “just be a person” takes. A game I’ve been playing with myself whenever I find myself getting to in my head when auditioning or performing where I do a take where I don’t think about my singing or acting at all and just do whatever I want and “be a person” instead of perform. Funny enough more often than not it’s the tape I end up sending. Very fun and very silly but I hope you guys enjoy.
So happy to introduce in the role of Annie: Serena Parrish (@serena__parrish )

Another video from our homecoming cabaret! Our theme was what got us where we are today, so I decided to do a number from Fun home as I have now aged into the middle role.
