Flirt with the audience seductively! You should know how to project sexiness and hotness. A good spirited Christine is an excellent Christine overall. You should learn how to communicate with the audience. You should have either a pretty face or a youthful and yet matured one.
Open your mouth! It helps releasing your voice and lessens the "strained look" on your face.You should express your emotions efficiently since you are performing for a large audience or so. If you're doing this onstage, you should be complex and a bit exaggerated. Actresses who played Christine rarely sing the note live. But it is definitely a must to be able to sing that high E flat once you pre-record the title song. Sierra Boggess (a stage actress who played the role many times and originated the role in Love Never Dies) said that during her audition, she was not told to sing the high E flat, only the Soprano C.Don't worry though! You could always pre-record that number so that you won't strain your voice. That is the last note of the title song and it takes so much effort to reach it. You must at least have a vocal range that extends to a high E flat or an E6.Most sopranos will have a hard time hitting the low ones, so vocal range expansion exercises are recommended. Christine only uses the head voice and sometimes her chest voice when hitting low notes.Being able to hit those high notes with your head voice is enough. BUT you don't have to sound operatic since Phantom of the Opera is a musical not an opera. In the book, Christine is a soprano - an opera singer.It will also help you to get in the character. It will give you a good insight on how to act like Christine. Study about her life, her reaction to everything that's happened. People say "think like the character to play it right" no! Be the character. First of all, you shouldn't think like the character.Remember, she is a member of the corps de ballet and must look believably like a ballerina. While there are very occasional exceptions, Christine is usually around 5'5/5'6 - she must be shorter than the Phantom and Raoul - and has a slender build. Christine has a "look." Do you fall into it? No matter how talented you are, if you don't "fit the dress," you will not be cast. Without the proper training - voice, acting, and ballet, you will not be prepared for the workload of this - or any other Broadway - role.Īssess yourself realistically. No amount of natural ability - or wanting a role - will get you cast in anything.
