Trigger :a musical theatre actor's guide to belting at gunpoint in the audition

In the world of Musical Theatre performance, auditioning is the first way for anyone to get a foot in the door. My thesis spends time figuring out a simple, helpful way in which actors can jump into their work within an audition setting through an audition trigger sheet that builds upon technique and tools that are easily accessible in an actor's armory. These 16 to 32 bars of music are what show directors and casting directors what an actor can do, and whether or not they are right for the part. Most of my time over the next few years will be spent auditioning for countless musicals. I will need a wide range of songs to choose from at a moment's notice, whether I am auditioning for a Golden Age Rogers + Hammerstein show or a contemporary Jason Robert Brown musical. This project includes a list of songs that I have in my book at every audition with all of the required analysis done. Each song has with it the trigger sheet that I have developed in order to activate a solid, compelling audition. The songs themselves each possess a specific internal audition cut. The trigger sheet I developed will be extremely helpful to me when I am at an audition, standing outside the door waiting for my time to enter. I can spend my time identifying with each of these songs and focusing on the story I want to tell. It will be an invaluable tool for me over the beginning years of my acting career.
