00:00Tell your worst audition story.
00:02I did something recently that I shall not name,
00:05and I had to sing for it.
00:08And so I spent quite a lot of money,
00:10a small fortune on singing lessons.
00:12And when I got into the room,
00:13I very much took the Hugh Jackman approach
00:15of just belting it out.
00:17He's a good singer, I'm not.
00:18But I went for it.
00:20At the end, I had to double over,
00:23and I'd gone all dizzy because I was shouting so loud.
00:26I thought loudness might equate to skill.
00:29And I had to excuse myself from the room after my song.
00:32Were you close to getting the role?
00:35Or was this just an audition?
00:38I was meeting the director and the producer.
00:40OK. Can you tell me what kind of song you were singing?
00:43Was it a theatre song?
00:44It was a theatre song.
00:45What kind? What song?
00:50It was from...
00:51No, bye.
00:53You would know the song off by heart if this was just a few weeks ago.
00:56I know it. I was just debating whether I wanted to sing it.
00:58I'm telling the truth.
00:59No.
01:00I'm telling the truth.
01:01Can I get a rendition of this song immediately?
01:03What song is it?
01:04I know the song.
01:05It wasn't the pause.
01:06It was because I was debating whether or not to go for it.
01:08What's the song?
01:08Because the first time went so bad.
01:09It's called Santa Fe from a musical called Newsies.
01:12And you didn't get the role?
01:14No.
01:14You went dizzy and you left the room.
01:15I went dizzy, yeah.
01:16That is so...
01:17I went all hot, stumbling around like this.
01:20And then I had to hold a water bottle up to my face.
01:22Oh, my God. I had the ick.
01:24I actually have secondhand ick.
01:26I think they did, too.
