What they are looking for
Shall We Yap? is a story and song cabaret series hosted by Julia DeSimone and Kyle Hendricks, and it is looking for a couple of guests for its next show. The performance is Friday, December 18 at 7 pm at The Green Room 42 in New York. Each performer tells a true story that turns into a song. They want people who love to talk and share; singing experience helps, but personality and storytelling matter most. You must live within commuting distance of NYC. Send a rough draft of your story, any clip of you singing and your contact details through their form. It is non-union. The listing does not mention pay. The listing does not give a closing date. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Pick a personal anecdote with a clear punch line and a song that lands naturally at the end, like the example in the listing: the magic is the jump from story to song. It helps to write it out in three or four sentences before you record anything. The clip can be a phone voice memo, so send something loose and charming rather than a polished take. The show is in mid December, so submit soon and ask whether there is a rehearsal.
