Most large audition calls for musical theatre, both professionally and in larger school situations, specify that those auditioning bring in a "16 bar" excerpt. The professionals in musical theatre often complain that singers don't know how to construct an appropriate 16 bar audition, either in choosing a song or in editing an excerpt. With this new series, that problem is solved forever! Editor Michael Dansicker, a composer/producer/music director, is a seasoned musical theatre veteran, with 100 Broadway credits. He brings his expertise and broad knowledge of the literature to this series. Each excerpt has been given a thoughtful, graceful and effective form. No more illegible scribblings for the poor audition accompanist! An enormous variety of literature is represented, from old standards to movie songs to the latest Broadway and Off-Broadway material. With 100 songs per volume, any singing actor, whatever his or her talents and strong suits, will have many choices. In the preface, the editor gives valuable pointers on the nature of a good audition and some factors in choosing songs.

Great addition to your theatrical library

This is a great audition resource, as it not only has the songs already broken down into audition-ready length, but it also includes a wide variety. There are pieces from shows old and contemporary. And although some of the music goes a bit over 16 bars, this is generally nto a big deal. It's maybe two-four bars over. Directors are typically more concerned with your voice than PRECISE bar count. These selections keep it close, though.

The 16-Bar Theatre Audition Book

Although I have not actually auditioned using this book, I was impressed with the songs included in the book . . . nice variety. Also, I am a 2nd soprano at best and the songs are very much in my range. The vocal arrangements are such that you can easily demonstrate your talents in 16 bars. I will definitely be using it in future auditions.

Great arrangements with none of the hassel!

Too many singers go into auditions only to be cut off before the big, climactic moment in their song. With this pre-cut 16-bar audition book, you'll have the most powerful moments in your piece all laid out and ready to let you shine!
