Auditioning for the first time?
Try some of the suggested songs or others like them. These are just ideas of the type of songs the panel will want to hear you sing. IF required vocal cuts are not provided, any musical theatre song that showcases your vocal range is appropriate. The latest pop songs and current hits are NOT recommended for audition pieces.
