How do I sound like Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd in 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street'?
I am auditioning for this musical, and wish to sound as much like him in Sweeney Todd as possible. I am singing 'Happy Birthday'.
My advice would be: Don't.
If you want to make a good performance you should make the part your own, with your own interpretations of the songs. And singing with someone else's voice is never as good as doing it with your own.
But if you still want to sound like him; Watch the movie over and over again, sing along. Get the soundtrack (It's beautiful, by the way) and practice, practice, practice.
Record yourself singing and listen to it, so you can hear what you need to improve.
Good luck :D

I'll be auditioning for a musical theater company soon, and I still haven't had a chance to fully learn my audition piece ("Wait," Sweeney Todd). I can't use Limewire because of all the spyware.
Please help? <3 forever

Your in for a great saturday so. Get in the munchies, beer, weed(I would).
I'd STRONGLY recommend watching Sweeney Todd first as Forgetting Sarah Marshall will leave you with a lovely sunshiney feeling that S.T. wont!
And I also recommend www.imdb.com; the ONLY movie and tv website that matters.

You can't get a downloadable copy of the play -- it's copyrighted.
You can order a copy of the play from Amazon. Do the overnight shipping.
Does any one know if the movie
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
is based on a true story?
No. Sweeney Todd is a fictional character.
The figure of Sweeney Todd is possibly based on an urban legend. In the novel Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-4) by Charles Dickens, published some two years before the appearance of Sweeney Todd in The String of Pearls: A Romance (1846-7), a character called Tom Pinch is grateful that his own "evil genius did not lead him into the dens of any of those preparers of cannibalic pastry, who are represented in many country legends as doing a lively retail business in the metropolis" There is also a similar story reputed to have occurred on the Rue de la Harpe in Paris that may well have influenced the story.
Claims that Sweeney Todd was a real person are made in the original introduction to the 1850 edition of The String of Pearls. Such claims have persisted to the present day.
In two books, Peter Haining argues that Sweeney Todd was a historical figure who committed his crimes around 1800. Nevertheless, other researchers who have tried to verify his citations find nothing in these sources to back Haining's claims.
A check of the website at Old Bailey for "Associated Records 1674-1834" for an alleged trial in December 1801 and hanging of Sweeney Todd for January 1802 show no reference.
