Most new musicals call for a modern sound, which can be challenging to find in your classical musical theatre repertoire. It\u2019s hard to find songs that are not overdone in the pop scene, especially when a new hit makes it to the radio. Often at auditions, it\u2019s the nostalgia of classic hits that make the lasting impression in the audition room. For songs of this nature, start by cutting the chorus with a verse, or the bridge of the song to the end, to find the perfect 16 or 32 bars. The best part about pop style singing is that you can make it your own by adding a riff here, a slight harmony there. It doesn\u2019t all have to be sung as it\u2019s written on the page! Here are some pop\/rock classics, from old favorites to modern hits, sure to deliver at your next audition.<\/p>\n

1. Hold On by Wilson Phillips<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This song was made famous all over again by the blockbuster hit \u201cBridesmaids\u201d. This early 90\u2019s pop classic enlivens any audition with its upbeat and inspiring lyrics to \u201chold on for one more day\u201d.<\/p>\n
