The Audition Cut

The Audition Cut provides 16-bar and 32-bar audition karaoke tracks for musical theatre performers preparing for auditions at every level — from community theatre to professional and college auditions.

Each track is carefully edited to an audition-appropriate length, with clean starts and endings, so singers can walk into the room confident and prepared without needing to edit tracks themselves.

This channel is a companion resource to CurtainUp Karaoke/Musical Theatre Karaoke (@MusicalTheatreKaraoke), which offers full-length musical theatre karaoke tracks for rehearsal, practice, and performance.

Use CurtainUp Karaoke to learn and rehearse the song.
Use The Audition Cut when it’s time to audition.

Perfect for:
Musical theatre auditions
College & unified auditions
Class assignments
Callback preparation

Happy auditioning — and break a leg!


The Audition Cut

We've uploaded some of our best-selling audition cut sheet music to SheetMusicDirect so that you can buy it instantly. No idea if this will turn out to be a really bad idea as our take-home share will be waaaaaay less than selling directly, but we're hoping that increased sales numbers could (maybe) make up for that over time.

Regardless, we want to make sure that the experiment benefits you subscribers, so here's a link to our publisher profile over there: www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/Search.aspx?query=T… (affiliate link)

Just a reminder that if you're looking for a song not listed, our instructions for buying sheet music for the remainder of our audition cuts can all be found here: www.musicalpracticetracks.com/index.php/audition-c…

Thanks, and happy auditioning!

2) Email your sheet music receipt to musicalpracticetracks (at) gmail (dot) com to let us know which song you want, and include the link to our video so we can be sure you have the same cut in mind.
3) We’ll send you a PayPal link to pay for our music engraving services (it will generally be $10, but we may offer discounts if you are looking for multiple songs at once).
4) We send you the personalized PDF for the cut that you can take in to your audition.
