Backstage Expert and videographer pro Tim Grady says that the best of musical theater reels will “recreate the energy and atmosphere of an actual audition,” even though you’re not in the audition room. To do this, he suggests you always use a live pianist to accompany you on the reel for authenticity—but make sure that you’re the one shining front and center. Using a professional service like Grady’s will ensure that all you have to worry about it showing up on the day and giving your best.
