Bedroom Session #1: Becca Webb

Welcome to the first Bedroom Session! Our first one is a young actress from Mesa named Becca Webb singing the iconic song "Don't Rain On My Parade" from Funny Girl -- music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Bob Merrill.

Please watch the video and then read about what Bedroom Sessions are.

Bedroom Sessions are a chance for young actors around AZ to share their talents -- singing, acting, dancing, juggling, etc. -- in a casual environment on the Internet. (Hence the name, BEDROOM sessions.) Here are some bullet points about submissions.


  • Must be in a casual setting; no formal production videos
  • Please try to keep it PG-13. We are not in the business of censoring youth, but we do want to keep the site friendly for all actors. If you do choose to submit something R rated -- whether for swearing or sexual content -- it is likely to be tagged "NSFC" (Not Safe for Children) with an explanation why. Only in extreme cases will we reject a video for content and we will explain to the submitter why. I believe in doing work that is age appropriate for the most part, so if you are 11 years old, please don't submit a video of you singing a vulgar song about sex meant for a 30 year old woman. 
  • That being said, this is an environment for exploration. As long as it is overall appropriate, do not be afraid to cross gender and other "type" lines. A girl singing "One Song Glory" from Rent or a guy singing "Pretty Funny" from Dogfight is not only fine, it's awesome!
  • Less than 6 minutes; audiences don't have long attention spans.
  • Can be multiple people in the video; SILLY CAST VIDEOS ARE ENCOURAGED.
  • And finally, if you submit something to us, we will review it just to make sure everything is squared away and so we can label videos appropriately, but if everything is fine and dandy content and video wise, we will accept it. We are not in the business of judging your talent. If you are bold enough to submit a video to be put on the Internet, we are not going to put you down. 
  • Commentors: be kind. If you're being unkind, you are completely disregarding the mission of AZ Young Actors' Alliance. And please speak up! Write a comment. Encourage your fellow performers.
  • Finally -- although cheesy -- have fun with your selections! Explore, do something different; share yourself with us.
If you have a submission, feel free to e-mail it to mackenna.azyoungactors@gmail.com. Please submit; this is a safe, encouraging place.
