What Songs Should Be In a Singer's Audition Book?

Nailing the audition is more than just showing off your amazing voice-it’s also about versatility. Auditions will often ask to see a range of styles, and even if you’re going for one of Dainty June’s farmboys in a revival of “Gypsy,” you’re going to want to keep a wide selection of songs, styles, and ranges in one place so that when you go in “Hamilton” you don’t have to worry about having the right music. Backstage Expert and voice teacher Andrew Byrne explains the rules of crafting a one-stop book for every singer.

What exactly do you mean by Pop/Rock songs? Non-musical pop/rock songs? Could you give some examples? Thank you! :D

All Shook up. Grease. Jesus Christ Superstar. Children of Eden... etc. just look up Pop/ Rock Musicals

Rent would be an example of a rock musical or Bare: a pop opera
