Searchable Audition Song & Monologue Database Now Live!

I have finally launched the new scene, song, & monologue database. I am still in the process of entering all existing data.

You can find it here:

As always, suggestions are appreciated.

Found a good tip for preparing for auditions that require you to perform more than one monologue:

In between your monologues, you need to make a physical and mental transition. Use your transition to show what a smooth and crafty actor you are! Do something with it. For those of you with long hair, you might want to remove a clip and change your look for your second piece. For those of you with a grungy 2nd character, you might want to kick off your shoes in your transition. Use your imagination! Without making a complete costume change, how can you change your look? Rehearse your transitions from introduction to character and in and out of characters ahead of time. Don't say things in the middle. Run the whole thing through as a production, not as several productions broken up with intermissions.

Seems to cover all different areas and countries too, which is nice.

Enjoy!

I am working on a brand new database for songs, monologues, scenes and duets.

Watch for it!

If you are looking to expand your knowledge of musicals, or looking for fresh audition material, you are in luck!

I just found this online radio station, Maximum Broadway - Showtunes 24/7. I've had it on all day since I came across it this morning. Wow!

I hope to add to the section for kids in theatre. As always, suggestions are welcome.

Tell me what characters I am missing in the list of shows with child characters.

I am working on expanding the production section with more
information about choosing musical shows for schools. If you have any
tips to contribute to this section, or have questions you would like
the answers to, please let me know.

I want to start expanding the site to include more resources for
professional performers. I would love to hear your criticisms and
suggestions of what should be included.

A new section is in progress - I am now building a page for each of the major professional centres in the hopes of helping performers who are beginning their professional careers or are planning to relocate to a new area. Any suggestions for improving this new section would be much appreciated.
