Musical theatre newbie needs help!

Another point we learned the other night from D’s school director is in the actual prep for auditions. He was emphatic about having an audition book assembled with 8 songs and 8 monologues “ready to go” for every audition. Your kid may have their go to material, but the audition folks may want to see a different style. If you don’t have it, they’ll listen to you but you basically have no shot (because you’re not prepared to show them what they want to see - you may have “the look” for a specific part they have in mind so they want to hear you sing that genre for a show they’re considering next yr or in a few yrs). So have your kids put the time in to build a great audition book. One of those better to have and not need than need and not have moments!
