Okay, this course is just phenomenal. I binged nearly the whole thing in a matter of days, and now go back and watch relevant sections/videos when needed. NEVER have I seen a musical theatre course that is so astonishingly comprehensive. No joke, the up-to-date industry knowledge in this course is better than everything I learned about auditioning from my university's BFA program.

Wow, just wow! This course has seriously turned my audition game around. As a young theater nerd hustling in NYC from audition room to audition room, I stumbled upon this course, and it's been a total game-changer.

Austin knows his stuff, no doubt. His course isn't some boring lecture – it's like getting advice from a friend who's been there, done that on Broadway. His tips on auditioning gave me a major confidence boost, and I'm already seeing a huge difference in my auditions.

This course is amazing and has absolutely transformed how I approach preparing for auditions. Thank you for this resource!! As a performer and a voice teacher, I’ve been able to guide my students and myself through clear music selection and preparation that has helped tremendously with alleviating overwhelm around the audition process! Two of my students have already had callbacks this season with their audition cuts!

Austin is an exceptional communicator - he broke down these sections perfectly, and left no stone unturned. Every little, itty-bitty detail you could think to ask about is addressed. On top of that, the course has beautiful, professional-quality video and audio. For what you pay, it delivers an IMMENSE amount of value. I recommend this to anyone and everyone. I'd give it more than five stars if I could. Feel so lucky to have found this resource - thank you, Austin!!

I used to go into auditions feeling like a deer in headlights, but now I've got these pro-level techniques to use and trust. It's like having secret weapons at my disposal. Austin breaks everything down in a way that's easy to understand, even for us non-Broadway-famous folks.

The course itself is easy to use, and Austin's teaching style is like hanging out with a super cool mentor. Thank you for creating this course! It really just gives the confidence needed to know that what I'm doing is right.

I’m super excited to organize my own audition book, and through the step by step demonstrations I’m feeling great about putting together my book with material I feel confident with.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

    General Questions

  • What is 32 Bar Cut?

    32 Bar Cut began as a YouTube channel in September of 2020 as a way of connecting to theatre artists during the Covid-19 shutdown. What started as simply a blog about theatre audition advice has transformed into something unimaginable. Broadway and TV star, Adrienne Walker, and her husband, Broadway Music Director Austin Cook, share candidly about their experiences as a performers and artists in the crazy world of theater, TV & film. They didn't go to school for theater or TV/Film, so 32 Bar Cut was a way to help others who didn't have that opportunity learn from their mistakes and experiences. They are taking you behind the scenes and telling you everything you need to know about show business, so that you can fulfill your dreams!
