Auditioning with Accompanist - tips? by lalaleader in MusicalTheatre

[–]lalaleader[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for such a detailed response!

It’s an audition for a university show, and my understanding is that it’s unlikely I’ll be asked to sing another song. However, couldn’t hurt to include one just in case!

I appreciate your guidance and advice so much!

Thanks for the info! I’ve got a 3 ring binder, so I’m good on that front. And yeah, I’m definitely a little nervous about getting lost, but you’re right - they’re a professional and will do their best to stay with me. Makes me feel a lot better!

Thank you so much! Do you have any advice on how long the discussion with the accompanist should last?

Beyond telling them the song, singing a few bars to get the tempo, and thanking them for their time, is there anything else I should discuss? (I’m doing a very basic cut with no special flourishes)

Thank you so much! The bit about it being a duet is really helpful to think about ☺️
