How do you make a bigger sound without pushing it/sounding too loud? Also, what are some good audition songs for an advanced (not TOO advanced) soprano?

Want to answer more questions in the Hobbies category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
I'm sorry to say that I probably can't tell you anything you want to hear about the first question. Getting a bigger sound takes a lot of practice and possibly a voice teacher or a voice coach. Key, though, use more air. The higher the notes, the more air you need. Make sure your throat's open, too. Take a breath like you're about to yawn. Feel something in your throat kinda drop? That's your larynx. You want that lowered/dropped like that all the time when you sing (it's hard, don't expect to get it right away).
Audition songs depend on what you're auditioning for. If it's for a musical, I might sing Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from Phantom of the Opera - shows off your range and your tone, if both are good. Look through musicals. Miss Saigon has some pretty solos (You Who I Cradled in My Arms (not sure about the title, but that's the first line)).
If it's something classical, I would invest in The First Book of Soprano Solos part I and II. Those have some good songs in them that show off your voice.
I suggest posing your second question to the pool of advicenators with a little more detail - some of them might have more song ideas. I do mostly classical stuff and I'm not quite sure the kind of audition songs you want.
If you like, you can elaborate a bit and I can do a bit of searching for songs. You might also include your range notewise. Like, my comfortable range is from A3 (A below middle C) to D6 (C above the staff)
I hope I helped a little!
