Hillary S. Williams Interview

I came into my audition only auditioning for the ensemble, leaving the audition I ended up receiving the titular role of Pippin. There was also a dance audition, where we were asked to learn the choreography to All that Jazz from the musical Chicago, this was a challenging experience because I have had no professional dance training but I ended up doing very well and responding well to the choreographer and her teachings. This whole process helped me to develop my confidence and social skills. The auditions were the most like professional auditions I’ve ever attended, and therefore allowed me to better understand what the real musical theatre industry is like and give me a taste of what it would be like if I continued onto large productions. I was very lucky to receive the lead role, as I didn’t even audition for it, despite not seeing this at the time. There was a long break between auditions and the beginning of rehearsals, almost three weeks. This seemed like a very long period of time due to not being able to tell any of my fellow cast mates that I had received a

The narrator, a teacher in Harlem, has escaped the ghetto, creating a stable and secure life for himself despite the destructive pressures that he sees destroying so many young blacks. He sees African American adolescents discovering the limits placed on them by a racist society at the very moment when they are discovering their abilities. He tells the story of his relationship with his younger brother, Sonny. That relationship has moved through phases of separation and return. After their parents’ deaths, he tried and failed to be a father to Sonny. For a while, he believed that Sonny had succumbed to the destructive influences of Harlem life. Finally, however, they achieved a reconciliation in which the narrator came to understand the value and the importance of Sonny’s need to be a jazz pianist.

In high school, I was the typical jock--I never took a drama class (though I now wish I

The production process for “The Audition” was unlike any other show I’ve been a part of. The scenes were rehearsed and broken up into sections that were often blocked out of order, and other elements of the show like the dancing and singing, also started out as separate entities from the rest of the show. This came with multiple challenges, but many of them worked themselves out in the end. The dance and choreography was especially exciting for me, because it is something I enjoy and have a talent for. That being said, there were still challenges that came along with it. I had to learn how to teach dance to people who have never set foot inside a dance studio which is no easy task. Luckily, the more

The most obvious thing that is important to the character is his adopted daughter, Anna. Throughout the narrative he shows that he cares for her happiness and her health. She is unable to speak clearly and tell her own story, so the character (father) tells it for her. The character is trying to show the reader how effective music can be as a therapy, and is using his own experience to prove the worth of musical therapy. He gives example after example of how music improved the life of his daughter, and how she looks forward to her day with music so eagerly. One line he says, “Ask her a direct question and you will get a stammered word or two at most. Play a song and she will begin to shout out the words, even if she has never heard them before. ”It is a testament to how much music can change her attitude and behaviours. It seems to fill her with confidence and strength where usually she is frail, a picture painted by the quote above.

The way John Williams themes of music portray different emotions and leaves memorable music in people’s minds shows how much he has shaped society and how he felt/feels he can continue to do so even in his old age. Powerful music, soft music, sharp music, Evil vs. good, all of these separate themes exudes memories in everyday life. He portrays every day emotions people face, through the music he puts out, it is without words, it is with instrumental know how and prowess that he does

Though not written as autobiography, it nevertheless reflects the strains of William’s life in St. Louis during the Depression. Tom, the play’s narrator, is Williams’s persona; Tom represents a subjective remembrance of Amanda Wingfield (an incisively accurate portrait of Williams’s mother) and his shy, fragile sister Laura (identifiable with Williams’s sister Rose). It was a painful and

As the audition approached, I avoided it as much as I could. I was so preoccupied with making sure my mom knew how much I did not want to audition that I barely prepared. The week of, I was so overcome with anxiety and the fear of making a fool of

Between these two candidates, Senator Hillary Clinton won the First Presidential Debate in my opinion. She was the most composed and answered each of the moderator's questions. Her answers were well thought out and would elaborate her answers as well. One aspect I appreciated from Hillary Clinton was she was civil in that she never raised her voice or spoke out of anger, compared to Donald Trump. She also kept her instigations to a minimum, meaning she did not try to criticize her adversary every chance she got. Donald Trump on the other hand, was all over the place. Right from the start, he never fully addressed the moderator's questions. Trump would either briefly mention an answer or completely go off-topic about something else. It seemed

Williams family is music orientated and while at home, William enjoys listening to music with his family. William also enjoys spending time with his family looking for objects that creates a variety of different sounds and make music with them. William tries to sing along with the music through making sounds.

This interview is in the early 1990's and it shows Hillary Clinton being interviewed during her husband's campaign. I thought this interview was very interesting, because the clips before the actual interview showed more sexism then the actual interview. The first thing that stood out to me was how a man in the beginning said that she was to ambitious and overly aggressive, while a women said that she was uncomfortable with Hillary because she seemed like she was the "power behind the throne". I feel like this breaks the reversibility rule because if they were talking about a male he would probably be described as strong minded and determined to see change. Also, he would have been seen as a supportive spouse compared to unnaturally powerful. This

When wanting a lead or supporting role in a musical at Westminster Christian School, a person must attend multiple auditions. An audition is period of time where the audition committee—the director, producer, vocal coach, and a few other people—get a glimpse of your vocal and acting abilities. During this short snippet of time a hopeful actor or actress must astonish the audition committee in hopes of getting the role of their choice. Auditions are critical as they will determine the role that you receive, so if you really desire a certain role you must be prepared to astound the audition committee.

Back in the summer of 2015, I was directed to a new Lifetime show called UnREAL, and because one of my favorite actors, Brennan Elliott, was going to be on it, I knew I had to be an active member of the audience. Although I was aware that I was leaping out of my comfort zone to watch this show, I didn't plan on becoming quite so invested in the characters and the storyline that I anticipated season two (and soon, season three) with great delectation. What began as a sort of grandstand for "Host Graham" evolved into so much more. In the role of the devious, manipulative Chet, I was introduced to the stupendous work of Craig Bierko. Due to our busy schedules, we only recently had the opportunity to exchange a simpe Q & A, and I am so grateful

RH: Why did you decide to become an actor? What kind of training have you received?

I was part of the crew, but I never did anything like this in my life. I was never a part of any musical so I felt intimidated, but I wanted to try something new. I think it was a great experience, I sing and play guitar, but I was always shy to get in front of an audience. I’ve seen the individuals who were part of a cast and I know some personally and it was inspiring to see how they change as an actor.
