Whether you are new to auditioning or have stepped into an audition room many times, choosing the right song is a vital part of the audition process.
Musical theater performers need a “book” — a binder of sheet music with songs from different musical theater eras and genres — to bring to auditions.
In this class, you’ll develop a carefully curated book marked with full, 32-bar, and 16-bar cuts of your songs. You’ll learn how to sing your audition songs with polish and confidence.
Build your book with the one and only Dr. Susan Speidel, creator of the prestigious Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards, and recipient of the NJ Governor’s Award for Theater Education!.

Upright bass, also called string bass or double bass, is a member of the orchestra family. Just as often, however, it appears in jazz, bluegrass, folk, and other genres. With a large hollow body and 4 thick strings, the tones produced by the upright bass are low and rich. The instrument is capable of long, expressive tones when played with a bow; and short, percussive tones when plucked with the strings. String bass is a dynamic and impressive instrument to play!
The oboe is a woodwind and a member of the double-reed family. It is played by blowing air through the reed, attached at the top of the instrument. The reed consists of two very thin pieces of cane, pressed together with a small opening to allow air to pass through. The sound can be high in pitch, but it has a variety of colorful tones, from bright and piercing to low and mysterious.
