<p>I’m wondering if anyone with previous audition experience could help me with this.</p>
<p>Michigan asks for a 32-bar cut of the up tempo song. The particular song I’m doing is very fast and mostly in 2/4, so a 32 bars of this song is much shorter than 32 bars of a more traditional song. I’m planning on preparing a slightly longer selection, and telling them at the audition to cut me off if necessary. Is this a good plan, or does it really have to be exactly 32 bars? What are people’s experience on this.</p>
<p>Also, I am listing my audition material on the application, but I am worried that I might change my mind about one of my monologues. I am not auditioning till February. Does anyone know if its okay to send them a note later with my final audition material.</p>
<p>This may or may not affect you since you did put your repertoire on your application. I made a mistake and put my pieces on the list when I did the online application. When I called, I was told that the MT program at Michigan did not require the rep on the application. You can call 734-764-0593 (School of Music, Theatre and Dance) for information concerning your case. Hope this helps!!</p>
<p>I think you can change your mind up to about 2 weeks beore, when they ask you for your selection. I also think they want you to have at least 4 prepared, 2 of each... G'luck!</p>
<p>I don't know how picky U of M is about audition cuts, but usually no one actually counts how many measures you have. I think the 16 or 32 bar cut is usually a guideline, and if it's a little more than what they ask for, they won't kill you, and they most likely won't even know. And especially since the song is up tempo and in 2/4, I'm pretty sure it'll be okay if you bend the rules a little bit. :)</p>
