+ WHAT IS SAVE MY AUDITION?

Save My Audition is a site designed to help every performer put their best self in the room when it counts the most. With a focus on your audition musically, this site aims to give you the tools and confidence you need to effectively communicate with the audition pianist what it is you need and help you feel confident with what you present to the people behind the table.

On this site you will find information to help you with:

  • Music Preparation - how your audition cut looks to the pianist. You can order clean professionally copied versions of your audition cut that leave nothing to chance.
  • Finding and notating and Audition Cut - 16 bars? 32 bars? The dreaded 8 bars? Full song? We can make any audition cut stand out to your pianist.
  • Finding or creating sheet music for that song you love but can't locate sheet music for.
  • Putting that great audition song in the proper key to make your voice sound its best.
  • Rehearsal Tracks so you can practice and prepare where and when you want.
  • Books and other resources on auditioning.
  • Helping you find the perfect voice teacher, vocal coach, monologue finest and most knowledgeable people.

Save My Audition was started by Aaron Jodoin, an experienced New York City based audition pianist and music director. Through his years of experience in the room and in front of an ensemble, he started this website to help give you a leg up in your audition, whether it be at your local community theatre or for the next big Broadway show. Don't forget every audition counts! It doesn't matter what it is for, every audition counts.
