vocally, thematically, dramatically, etc.) one of the songs
sung by the character you long to play, ask Vocalist >>
Karen's suggestions are great. To reaffirm all that she said, I'll tell you
that I just gave a workshop on this topic. I'm not an expert from personal
experience, but I used as a reference AUDITIONING FOR MUSICAL THEATRE by Fred
Silver. His advice is invaluable, and almost precisely what Karen has said .
The volume also includes a list of good audition songs.
