This idea came to me sitting behind the table in auditions, watching actors bring their best work forward that was often not a true reflection of their talent. At the end of the audition it left me wanting to offer notes on their pieces, headshots and presentation that would adequately showcase their full potential.

 

What People Are Saying

 

“Lauren recommended the song “What Do You Do With Your Arms” by Carner and Gregor for me, and I was instantly in love. It was a great combination of a song that is not used often and also has great moments for over the top comedy and realistic relatable behavior. It is truly a song I am excited to use in the future and it seemed to match up PERFECTLY with how I want to better portray myself in auditions! It’s also fantastic that Lauren seems to be a genuine soul in this industry who just wants to help people succeed. 10/10 would highly recommend!”

— Austin Tipograph

“Truly, I would have never thought of the audition songs Lauren had thought of for my own voice until she recommended them. She was so open and transparent with her song choices based on my voice and experience that the songs she had chosen fit both a more feminine and masculine side of my vocal range. She is a fantastic resource for any gender/identity based on your vocal range/current range, and I would be honored to utilize her skills and expertise for my own voice as a non-binary actor trying to find their best audition songs. An absolute 10 out of 10, would highly recommend Lauren for any person wishing to utilize her incredible talents and skillsets to pick the perfect audition songs!”

— Maureen Sanderson

“When I saw Lauren announce Audition CheckUp via TikTok, I immediately scheduled our session together. I graduated recently with a general theatre degree rather than specific musical theatre, so creating a fully-formed book has been high up on my to-do list for a while. I chose the full “12 Song Revamp Package,” and our Zoom session together was quick and easy! Every song Lauren chose for me was an absolute perfect fit. They were unique songs that I had never even heard of, and between all of them, I feel they showcase all elements of my vocal ability and characters I would play. I am so in love with these songs that I can’t stop listening to them and walking around singing them. I will be more confident walking into future auditions because I’m genuinely excited to sing these songs. Working with Lauren is a rare opportunity that is so painless, yet yields high quality results!”

— Faith Winship

“Lauren is an absolute GENIUS!! I had an amazing experience with Audition Checkup. We did a complete book overhaul with 12 songs. I felt like Lauren was able to take in all aspects of my identity and what I want to convey as a performer. She took time to talk with me, hear me sing, and also get to know me as an individual to find repertoire that reflects my personality, my history, my culture, and my vocal style. I normally get very overwhelmed and stressed when trying to choose repertoire. Lauren alleviated these emotions so I can solely focus on having fun and making art. I highly recommend musical theatre performers to go through your books with her- you will leave feeling validated, excited, and inspired!”

— Dalita Getzoyan

“I had such an incredible experience working with Lauren on my book. She made me feel so comfortable in our consultation and took the time to discover who I was as an artist. The turnaround was quick and she put my book together perfectly. Her song choices flow together and really showcase my range as a vocalist and an actor. I can't wait to work with her again!”

— Kayleigh Corn

“Though I’ve been auditioning for years, I’ve never had a good unique audition book that would show my personality in an audition room. Lauren helped me find some amazing new songs that I’d never heard of or hadn’t though to audition with that fit my voice and character well! And when I wasn’t totally happy with one of the songs, she took the time to find another one that worked so much better for me! Totally worth the money and time for the consultation, and she also was just very fun to talk to :)”
