Audition Advice from Baldwin, Chenoweth, Clark, Luker and Stroman

Here's what NOT to do at an audition, straight from five Broadway divas.

Kate Baldwin, Kristin Chenoweth, Victoria Clark, Rebecca Luker, and Susan Stroman took a moment to share their advice with Megan Loughran, contributor for Ryan Scott Oliver and David Davila's Crazytownblog.

Their words of wisdom:

Kate Baldwin (known for BIG FISH and FINIAN'S RAINBOW): "Don't wear character shoes to an audition. Wear real shoes. The nicer the better."

Kristin Chenoweth (who just finished her run in ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY): "Don't chit-chatter like a silly bird-person."

Victoria Clark (from GIGI and CINDERELLA): "Don't freak out if the person before you is singing your exact same song."

Rebecca Luker (of CINDERELLA and MARY POPPINS): "Don't apologize for anything."

Susan Stroman (Tony-winning director of THE PRODUCERS): "Don't sing your love song to the director."
