Send me your scanned written sheet music of your song you have chosen to perform for your upcoming audition.  I will send you back the digital recorded piano accompaniment file recorded by a live, professional musician via e-mail.  Once you download your selection, you can sync your audition song to rehearse over and over again on your PC, mp3 player, CD player or phone.

The Full Audition Song can be your best friend or worst nightmare when it comes to your audition for your next show.  Most theater companies will specifically ask for an audition song, full song, entire musical song, or something along those lines if they have time to listen to a full song or would like more singing than what 32 bars can offer.  DO NOT bring in a full song with the intentions of singing it in it's entirety if the casting authority ask for 32 or 16 measures only.  It is a good idea, however, to prepare the entire song, just in case they would like to hear more than the specified allotment.

AUDITION TIPS

If you are lucky enough to have a chance to audition and sing a full or entire song, make sure you choose a song that is similar in style and feeling of the show for which you are auditioning.  

Also, don't pick a LONG song, but a piece that is rich in both musical and lyrical content.  Even if you are allowed to prepare an entire piece, you can still facilitate your audition by cutting repeated or frivolous  sections.

When making cuts in a song, it is important to read through the text and make sure the content is logical.  Also, when choosing cut sections of an audition song,  is important for musical keys to modulate naturally.

For ALL auditions, remember the accompanist at your audition will be seeing this music for the first time.  The sheet music needs to be the best copy of music you can find and generally double sided (with page one and two the first two pages on the left and right and then p. 3 on the back of p.2 and so on.) 

Make sure that the edges are not CUT OFF in the copying process.  Make sure the symbols, lines, notes and text are clear and not blurred or smudged.  If you are making a cut in the music, it should be clearly marked in black marker. 

If you get a chance to speak with the accompanist, bring attention to the cut by letting them know your intentions, and let them know YOUR tempo. 

Most of the time you will not be able to speak to the accompanist, so making all alterations on the sheet music as CLEAR and CRISP as possible, will aid you in having a smooth transition from rehearsal to performance of your audition song. 

It is a good idea to bring your "Audition Book" (all your prepared audition songs in a binder) to the audition just in case they would like to hear another song.
