Experience Hello! My name is Evan Elliott. As an actor, singer and community theater director at the age of 17, I have already had quite an extensive background. Lead roles include "Officer Lockstock" in Urinetown, "Lord Brockhurst" in The Boyfriend, "Al Peterson" in Bye Bye Birdie, "Marryin' Sam" in "Lil' Abner, as well as many supporting and cameo roles. I have been professionally trained vocally with Sharon Black and have even worked with the pianist of Robert Goulet! I am currently training in the wonderful study of Opera.

Expert: Evan T. Elliott Date: 4/29/2008 Subject: The Pajama Game audition
Question I am a mezzo soprano auditioning for The Pajama Game...there are two main characters that fit my age/vocal profile.(36 yr)...what should I wear to the audition...would 'Heart' by the same composer be an appropriate song (if not, please offer suggestions) and could you give me a short character analysis of the two female roles I am auditioning for? (Babe or Mr. Hasler's secretary)
Answer Hi Auditioner!!
First off, I have to tell you that I have never heard of the play you are going to audition for.
For character analyses, I go to www.stageagent.com and the website will list character descriptions.
In an audition, auditioning a song that is from the show or by the same composer within a show is not recommended.
Might I recommend a beautiful version of "Danny Boy"--it makes directors cry if done properly :).
Sorry I couldn't be of more help! Good luck at your audition!
