-Dont bring Jason Robert brown into an audition, most accompanists cant handle it
-Strongest Suit is overdone to death outside of school
-Fine Fine Line is a downer, only use this for similar shows like Spelling Bee
-Happily Ever After is great if youre in high school
-Never do Man of La Mancha for an audition, its a meme and youll be made fun of
-Home is crazy overdone
-Killer Instinct is the better audition song from Bring it On

I love your videos. One thing I really hate about them is when you force some random song down our throat and ask if we like it. I came for the video not the lackluster song we have to slog through before we get to what we actually came for. I would rather not have the random song at all. Lets just get to the video we came for? or is that insane to get what we came for?

I'd love to add some suggestions: So Many People from Saturday Night, Safer from First Date: The Musical, Always True To You In My Fashion from Kiss Me Kate, I Love The Way from Something Rotten, I'm A Woman from Smokey Joe's Cafe, Never Fall In Love With An Elf from Elf: The Musical. And for the guys: I'm Alive from Next To Normal.

The very concept of this list is fundamentally flawed. Every single different performer could have a different best audition song. It depends on voice type, range, age, type, what show youre auditioning for, etc. Plus being on a list is automatically a con because directors dont want to hear the same songs over and over again.

I'd like to suggest I Need To Know from Jekyll and Hyde for any tenors out there. It's far from the most well known song from the show but it doesn't have too much build (like this is the moment) or character shenanigans (like Alive or Confrontation. The range is roughly C#3 to G4

Loved that a male solo was number 1! Good choices all throughout I think, always happy to see Audra MacDonald, & Carol Burnett was a great surprise! My only downside was that this didn't show a clip of the extraordinary Linda Eder version of I, Don Quixote! It's SO GOOD!

Ok but if ya wanna show ya know character and wanna test your breathe control and speak singing, Watch What Happens from Newsies is perfect and extremely unexpected! Did it for theatre class and my teacher was stunned at the difficulty but enjoyment of it!

Theaters in my town should be opening up auditions within the next couple of months, so I'm looking for a good low baritone song that probably hasn't been done to death. I really wanna do Stars, but obvious issue is obvious. Lol

I like a live play and I like a great song, but I don't like them together. I find musical theater laborious. I want to see and hear emotion, but I don't like it when that breaks out in song to carry a plot line.

swap out Some Enchanted Evening with I Won't Send Roses from Mack & Mabel and take a look at Begin the Beguine or In the Still of the Night (both by Cole Porter) if you're going for something a little older

As a baritone I can honestly say that Stars has been my go-to audition piece for years. unless I'm gunning for a particular part and have picked something special for the occasion. So, yeah, that checks.

Many years ago I was in a local production of South Pacific. The gentleman who sang Some Enchanted Evening blew the roof off the theater every night. I still remember it with goosebumps.

Glad they included classics like some enchanted evening and the street where you live. I wouldve loved if they also included Lost in the wilderness from Children of Eden.

I whole heartedly agree that you should NEVER do Impossible Dream. Even though it is very old school, it is just too done. And NEVER do All that Jazz.

All That Jazz is super overdone. I still love using it for auditions! If I'm going to audition for a showgirl character I'll pick that song

Empty Chairs from Les Miz is also a good song to show your range. I would suggest Stars for a mature actor and Empty Chairs for a younger one.

Stars? No, really, stars? Please do not bring this to an audition. Even modern castings still twitch when they hear the opening chords.
