Choosing the perfect audition song cut! 🎤

One of the most underrated skills in musical theatre auditions is knowing how to pick the right 16–32 bar cut. A strong cut can show your voice, your storytelling, and your casting type in just a few seconds — but many performers get stuck choosing what to include.

Here are a few guiding questions to help you shape your next cut:

✨ 1. Does your cut show your vocal strengths quickly?
Casting teams don’t have much time. Make sure your best moment shows up early.

✨ 2. Does the section tell a clear emotional story?
Even in 30 seconds, your cut should have intention, movement, and character.

✨ 3. Is the style right for the show?
Match the era, vocal style, and energy of the production you’re auditioning for.

✨ 4. Does the cut avoid long intros or instrumental sections?
Keep it tight. Every second counts.

✨ 5. Does it feel natural and comfortable for YOU?
If you can’t perform it confidently, it’s not the right cut — even if it sounds impressive.
