Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Cynthia sits down with the incredible Wendy Cavett— music director, supervisor, arranger, educator, conductor, pianist, and incredible vocal coach—to dive deep into the world of pop/rock in musical theatre. With Broadway and Off-Broadway credits including Come From Away, Hamilton, Mamma Mia, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and more, Wendy brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation.
Together, they unpack what makes a great pop/rock audition, the stylistic markers that music directors listen for, and how to bring authenticity to your performance while still honoring the genre. They also tackle one of the biggest challenges performers face: the pressure to "get it right" and anticipate what casting teams want—spoiler alert: you’re never going to guess!
Whether you're just stepping into pop/rock or refining your skills, this conversation is packed with insights to help you sing with confidence, embrace your unique artistry, and navigate the intersection of musical theatre and rock/pop storytelling.
Pop/rock skills are ESSENTIAL in our industry! Here’s the thing: You can’t approach a pop/rock audition the same way you do a traditional musical theatre audition. So, how do you know where to start?!👇
