My high school is putting on Beauty and the Beast and I'm trying out for Belle. I'm an experienced actress and was just looking for tips, especially from other actresses that have played Belle.
Thank You!|||Really 'get to know' the character! Belle is beautiful in apperance, but she is not vain at all - because she is also beautiful in personality. Belle is the epitome of good -she falls in love with a man even after a HORRIBLE first impression - and the fact that he is a 'beast.' The most handsome man in town, Gaston, is smitten with her - but she refuses him because he is stupid and cruel. She is intelligent and loves to read. She is also brave - she goes to rescue her father from the Beast! Which leads into her relationship with her father - she is such a dutiful daughter. Belle is kind, poised, and intelligent!!
Read the lyrics to all the songs Belle sings:

Home, Belle, Belle (reprise), No Matter What, A Change in Me, etc. really show Belle's character.
If you are fortunate enough to have the script already, look over that!
I wouldn't recommend watching the Disney movie or youtube videos of Susan Egan, etc. Try to develop your own character!
At the audition - don't be afraid to take risks! Do something differently then the way anyone else is doing it... it will help you stand out! Be confident and professional. You shouldn't be nervous, because you'll have prepared so well! Haha! Best of luck!!|||Feel beautiful, elegant, sweet,wise and confident because that is what belle is. Hope you do well|||be confident!
