Is this for you?
This course is built around one specific transformation: walking into the audition room prepared, calm, and in control. Here's who it's for — and who it isn't.
This is for you if…
- An audition is coming up and you want your songs and cuts ready before the door opens.
- Callbacks keep stopping you — you want to walk in able to read the room and stay in control.
- You want your music handed over so any pianist can sight-read it cold.
- You want to feel calm and prepared, not fast and nervous.
Honestly, not if…
- You're looking for hands-on vocal technique coaching — that's a coach's room, not this bench.
- You want live, in-person rehearsals with a pianist — this course is self-paced video.
- You're not ready to put in the preparation work — the whole course is built on it.
Daniele Buatti
Pianist · Vocal Coach · Music Director
Your auditions, from the accompanist's bench
I'm Daniele Buatti, a pianist, music director, vocal coach, and embodiment practitioner from Melbourne. I've spent fifteen years at the piano in audition rooms: reading cuts, setting tempos, and watching hundreds of performers walk in and out. This course is built so you walk in feeling prepared, calm, and entirely in control.
- 15+ years across musical theatre as an audition pianist, music director, and vocal coach.
- Vocal coach: helping singers find technique, interpretation, and presence for auditions and shows.
- Embodiment practitioner: trained in kinesiology, helping performers stay calm, present, and grounded under pressure.
- Educator at heart: making the practical side of performing clear, simple, and doable.
When your accompanist has thirty seconds to sight-read your cut, everything hinges on how you've prepared it. That's the perspective this course is built from.
A 14-day money-back guarantee
Start the course and put it to work on your next audition. If it isn't exactly what you hoped — if your music doesn't feel prepared and you don't walk in more in control — email within 14 days for a full refund. No questions, no forms, no hard feelings.
The only thing you can lose is a few days. Everything you can gain is every audition you'll walk into from now on.
Everything you're wondering
Do I need to read music or play the piano?
No. You need to know your songs and prepare your sung material — the course shows you exactly how to prepare cuts, timing and the handover so any pianist can sight-read them. Familiarity with your sheet music helps, and you'll pick up precisely what to look for.
When do I get access?
Instantly. The moment your payment is confirmed, the full course unlocks in your account — every module, lesson and resource, yours for life.
How long does it take? I'm busy.
Lessons are short, focused videos with written notes, and you work at your own pace. Finish a module in an afternoon, or stretch it across a week of audition-season evenings.
I'm a beginner — is this for me?
Yes. The course is built in three levels — Foundations, Preparation, Collaboration — so you progress from picking your songs right through to owning the room. Working performers get just as much from it: the preparation skills last for every audition after this one.
Does this replace my vocal coach?
No — it complements coaching. This course covers the audition-room skills a coach rarely gets time for: cutting music, sight-readability, tempo, the handover, and how the room actually works from the pianist's bench.
What if it isn't for me?
There's a 14-day money-back guarantee. Start the course, and if it isn't exactly what you hoped, email info@danielebuatti.com within 14 days for a full refund.
