Two contrasting 16-bar cuts from a published musical.

All copied music must be copied front to back, hole punched and placed in a three ring binder. Please be sure all key signatures, top and bottom of pages, and chord charts are captured in your copies. No handwritten music or songs containing just the vocal line.

To ensure a successful audition, be mindful of the accompaniment to your songs. It may be that your accompanist is sight-reading. Avoid complex Sondheim, Jason Robert Brown, Adam Guettel, etc.

Mark your chosen cut clearly; where you will start and end, what you want as an introduction, etc.

Provide a metronome marking and indicate tempo variations within the piece.

Time will be given to go over your markings with the accompanist before you begin your piece but the more information you can provide in the accompaniment line, the better your audition will be.

A prepared monologue, no more than one minute in length.
