Viewing and DownloadingEach audition set includes a pdf and mp3 files. The pdf contains script, lyrics and manuscript vocal lines. It can be opened in any browser and can be printed for your convenience. The mp3s can usually be played within your internet browser, but, again, you might find it more convenient to download them to your computer or device. You can download these by holding down the link on touchscreen devices and selecting 'save' or by 'right-clicking' (PC) or 'control-clicking' (Mac) and saving from the resulting menu. If you have any problems, please contact me via Facebook Messenger, email or using the contact page above.
