@ Katherine You should act out this song the exact same way you would any song you are singing no matter what genre it is from.  Lady Gaga is a great case in point.  SHE IS ACTING her songs, if not they wouldn't be nearly as effective.  You must tell a story no matter what you are doing, communicate emotion and take your audience on a journey.  If you do this you don't need choreography I don't think.  Be authentic to what you are saying and I think the rest will come.  Make sense?

Good Luck and post what you are doing if you want feedback before the event!

@leslie I know you asked a while ago for a video of my audition at home because my audition video had too much echoing. Here it is: It's not the best but I finally got my cam fixed so I wanted to immediately do it

Comment by Katherine Dahm on May 19, 2012 at 3:35pm

@Leslie Yes we have seen this!! :) Were planning on doing a lot of improv with it and harmonies. They never told us a time limit and our audition song was about the same length of You and I! So I'm not really sure! Thank you so much for your input! We'll post a video as soon as we can.

I also had another question. When acting out this song I'm not sure exactly what to do. With Show tunes it's a lot easier to act out, but with this i usually just dance(bop a little up and down and smile) a little because I don't want it to look boring but I don't know if that would look weird. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
