hey i am going to an audition this monday and I needed to sing a 16-32 bar song so I chose Tomorrow-from the production Annie. It's PRETTY simple exept for the "Tomorrow part" which is pretty high but still. IT's a good song for auditioning. Hope I helped.

I would try something fun and upbeat that really shows off your range. Pick a song that can show off your lowest note and most importantly, your highest note. MAke sure you have a good control over your voice. Don't do a song from the show. I'd do something that really shows off ur belty high range. (If you can belt) I'd also sing in your mixed voice. Break a leg!

I was just reiterating, because I really think you should do it. Haven't you ever done half of a song before?

Well, a great audition song is very important as you probably know. First, you need to figure out which character you are trying out for. If the character is very upbeat and loud make sure to choose a fun loud song. However, if the character is very quiet you might choose a slower song. You must choose the song based on the character you are trying out for.
Also, make sure you choose a song that you can sing loud and well. Also, choose a song that shows your range of voice. Choose a song that you can act out, dont just go on stage and just sing the song, act the song. My motto is sing to the blind and act to the deaf, so if you were singing to a deaf person you would want to act it out a lot, and if you were singing to a blind person you would want to sound great and loud and interesting...
Some audtion songs I like are:
I have Confidence from The Sound of Music
and
Good Morning Baltimore from Hairspray.
Those two songs are good for a more upbeat character.
Another thing to remember is to not sing a song that is too adult for you. Sing one that is around your age or the age of the character you are trying out for.
I have a few more ideas for you, if you need them just let me know!
I hope this helps!!
