Miranda Sings has (bad) advice for young actors

The YouTube character known as Miranda Sings led a master class Friday for kids at the Boston Children’s Theatre’s summer residence at the Governor’s Academy in Newbury. The oddball and seemingly untalented Internet sensation, whose real name is Colleen Ballinger , advised the aspiring actors to sing longer than the casting director wants in an audition, add dance moves to ballads, and be mean to the accompanist. She was kidding.
