Step 1 : Read your audition details

Please read your audition details carefully, as they sometimes specify the type of song they'd like to hear (a ballad, something uptempo, etc.). Make sure to select a song that's appropriate for your specific casting call. Also, as you're picking out a song, these links may be helpful:

• The "25th Annual Audition Songs" Spotify Playlist

Step 2: Get to know the show

In casting calls, they often ask for you to be "familiar with the show". And even if it's not requested, it's generally assumed. One way to do this is to listen to the 25th Annual Putnam County cast album➝ while reading through the synopsis.

Step 3: Pick an audition song

Next, based on your personality and vocal type, decide whether you'd like to audition for the ensemble or a specific character. Just keep in mind that if you audition for a specific character, you still might not be chosen for that particular role.

There's usually a spot on the audition form asking if you are open to being in the ensemble or accepting a different role. I would suggest ticking that box and taking whatever you are offered. Every role is important, and you will earn valuable experience in a show.

And on that same note, even if you audition for the ensemble (and not a specific character), there's always a chance you might get chosen for a leading/supporting role!

To summarize, keep an open mind and try not to take the process too seriously. And when you're ready, choose the song that you feel most comfortable with from the list below.
