THE GOOD AUDITION GUIDES: Helping you select and perform the
audition piece that is best suited to your performing skills If
you're auditioning for a musical - or needing to choose a song to
perform for an exam, showcase or drama-school application - it's
vital you find a song that shows off your voice and reveals your
full potential as both a singer and an actor. In this invaluable
book, you'll find comprehensive introductions to fifty of the best
songs from musical theatre, for tenor/high baritone and
baritone/bass voices, and in a variety of periods, styles, genres
and tempos. Each song comes with detailed textual, vocal and
musical analysis, and a practical performance guide to ensure you
perform it to maximum effect in your own unique way. Drawing on his
experience as a performer, musical director and teacher at several
leading drama schools, Paul Harvard gives his top tips for
performing each song, note by note, moment by moment. He also
recommends soundtrack recordings to inspire you, and tells you
where to find the correct sheet music for your chosen song (please
note: the book does not contain the sheet music itself). The
selection includes songs from acclaimed contemporary musicals such
as Children of Eden and Pippin by Stephen Schwartz, Parade and The
Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown, as well as Martin Guerre,
The Wild Party, Taboo and The Lion King - alongside many much-loved
classics like Carousel, Fiddler on the Roof, 42nd Street, Kiss Me,
Kate, and six of Sondheim's masterpieces. Also included is an
extensive introduction to the process of choosing your song,
preparing your performance and approaching the audition itself,
along with many vocal and acting exercises to improve your
technique and boost your confidence. 'For anyone wishing to do
justice to a musical-theatre role, and definitely for those wishing
to work in this genre, this guide is a must' Teaching Drama
