She's one of the important ones out there."</p><p><strong>--Alex Lacamoire, </strong> Tony Award-winning orchestrator of <em>In the Heights, </em> <em>Hamilton, </em>and<em> Dear Evan Hansen</em></p><p><em>"Rock the Audition</em> is the most comprehensive guide to understanding how to perform pop/rock material for auditions. It gives you all the info you need to choose the right song and prepare it from every frame of reference. This is a must-read for anyone interested in performing musical theatre!"</p><p><strong>--Mary-Mitchell Campbell, </strong> Drama Desk Award-winning orchestrator, music director, and supervisor: <em>Mean Girls, The Prom, Finding Neverland</em>, <em> Big Fish, </em> <em>Company</em>, <em>The Addams Family</em></p><p>"It's our job as storytellers to constantly push our craft to the next level--this is what Sheri excels at.

Sheri Sanders for the win, ladies and gentlemen."</p><p><strong>--Robert Hartwell, </strong> actor and founder of the Broadway Collective</p><p>"Sheri's passion for performing and music fuels her message and connects her with students in the most unique way.

I cannot imagine my life in music and music theatre without Sheri Sanders. She truly is the real deal."</p><p><strong>--Toby Yatso, </strong> Arizona State University music theatre coordinator and faculty member, Artist-in-Residence at the Phoenix Theatre Company</p><p>"Sheri is an enthusiastic and passionate teaching artist. Her knowledge of music and its history ranging from Motown to the hip-hop era is extensive and formidable. But it's the care with which she inspires her students that makes her a masterful teacher. She is at the same time nurturing and challenging, encouraging mistakes, wonder, and play."</p><p><strong>--Michele Pawk, </strong> Tony Award-winning actress and singer</p><p>"<em>Rock the Audition</em> will rock your musical theatre life. Sheri's book is not only terrific, it's a 'jagged little pill' (Alanis) that can help turn you into a 'beautiful mess' (Jason Mraz). 'So what' (Pink) if you're nervous? This book will make you 'Fearless'! (Taylor Swift)."</p><p><strong>--Andrew Lippa, </strong> composer, lyricist, and book writer: <em>Big Fish, I Am Harvey Milk, The Addams Family, </em> and<br /> <em>The Wild Party</em></p><br>
