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 soprano, mezzosoprano and alto
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 In the Heights by
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Songs for a New World by Jason Robert Brown, as
well as Next to Normal, Miss Saigon, The Color Purple, Sister Act
and Ragtime - alongside much-loved classics like The Sound of
Music, Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady, Anything Goes, and five
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 Magazine on Paul Harvard's
bestselling book Acting Through Song
