Preparing for your Audition

You need to be able to "sell" a joke and you need to have good comedic timing. On top of that, you will be asked if you know any accents beyond your Northeastern American Accent. Please have a sentence or two showing us your accent whatever it is. Specifically we would like to see you have ONE accent, besides your normal speech, of one or more of these accents, German, Romanian, French, Southern Accent (West Virginia or Texas, think Larry the Cable Guy or Ernest goes to camp or the hundred other movies he did), Irish, Scottish, Cockney (Charles Dickens or My fair Lady sounding) obviously the more accents you have the more roles you may receive. You will be doing a fun little cold read to see if you can sell a joke.
For your SINGING we need to see your "ROCK VOICE"

Song No longer then 1 min please!
****(Hint#1 PLEASE DON'T STAND AND DELIVER, that is what you do at karaoke, The Voice, and American Idol, show me what it means to ROCK.
