Prepping for Musical Theatre auditions can be stressful and confusing... but not any more. How do you find the right songs, in multiple genres? Where do you get the sheet music? How do you edit it down to your 16- or 32-bar cut? What even is a 16-bar cut?! Relax, diva: The Rep Book has the answers to all these questions and so many more. Author Adam Wachter has spent years accompanying and sitting on the panel at auditions for everything from BFA programs to Broadway shows and has taught courses on Repertoire selection at schools in the US and UK. This friendly and accessible guide is designed to answer those key questions and help you stock that rep book with tight cuts of great songs so you can walk into your next audition and ace it. This book takes its readers step-by-step through the strangely mysterious process of building a repertoire portfolio (or "rep book", in MT-industry parlance). Leaving no stone - or showtune - unturned, it helps you identify what songs you need, in which categories, and shows you where to find them before helping you source and cut the sheet music. And also how to prepare for the audition itself: how to communicate effectively with the accompanist, and how to act your song.
