Chapter 6
No One's POV
Miss Reznick began to speak, "Okay, time for singing auditions. I didn't say it earlier because I want it to be spontaneous. I want real chemistry, not fake chemistry. Actors can make chemistry even if they hate the person, but in real life people can't. This is why I asked you to sing for each other in your groups. I would like you to use the other person in your group as a 'prop" per say. Sing to them. Use them. Let them here your message. They can be your lover, your friend, your enemy, whatever you want. Just try your best. We will go in the same order as the acting scenes. That means, Ray and Stella! Get up here and show us what you've got!"
Ray and Stella climbed up on stage. "Okay, now I would like to start with More than a Band." Ray began to sing. As he sang he danced with Stella. He took her hand and spun her around the stage. When he finished, they were both smiling and laughing. "Aww marvelous! Great chemistry! Now, I would like for Stella to sing her part of Determinate and then for Ray to jump in afterwards for the rap." Both of them sat on the side of the stage, and Stella sang with a very sad tone of voice. And, throughout her verse her hand ended up entwined with Ray's and her head ended up on her shoulder. Then, Ray started rapping and pulled Stella up on stage with him. She pretended she was a cheering fan while he rapped. And, she even pretended to faint.
Charlie leaned towards Mo and whispered, "That faint was really cheesy." Mo laughed and playfully hit Charlie.
"I thought they did a great job! It was cute," she replied.
Miss Reznick talked again, "Very nice job! Okay, Wen and Olivia!" Wen began to sing and entwined his hand with Olivia's. They slowly swayed back and forth with her head on his shoulder and her other hand clutching his arm. Then, Olivia began to sing. Wen went behind the piano and began to play the beginning of Determinate. He gave Olivia a reassuring smile and she slowly began to sing. And then Wen ran out from behind the piano and began to rap while Olivia grabbed an electric guitar and began to play along, smiling.
"It's our turn," Scott said to Mo and Charlie. They went up and each took turns doing their assigned parts, taking longer than the previous two groups because of their larger number. After them, the rest of the groups went and Miss Reznick took to the stage one last time.
"That was wonderful, all of you. I am thankful to have all these talented people auditioning. I'm going to have quite a hard time tonight deciding. Even if you do not get in, feel free to audition again next year and please feel free to help with anything for the production. I will post the cast list tomorrow morning outside this room. Please check before going to your first period class. And, also after school, it will be our first read thru. Thank you for auditioning and have a wonderful night! And for those of you who were in my detention, please stay behind."
The students began to file out of the room leaving Wen, Olivia, Stella, Mo, and Charlie behind with Miss Reznick. "I have to say that you all did a wonderful job. I know you were all forced and did not truly want to do this, but you are all very talented actors and singers. Thank you for giving the auditions your best shot, no matter how unwilling you were. Please check the cast list tomorrow and have a good night. And, if you see Principal Brenigan, tell him I made you clean up the music room," she gave them a smile and a wink and sent them off.
That was chapter 6! Chapter 7 will contain the cast list and read thru. I hope you enjoyed it and review please!
