Question Posted Wednesday January 23 2008, 12:01 pm
i'm auditioning for a play on friday, but for the singing part, i have no idea what song to do!
i can pretty much do any tone and have a wide range, so thats fine, but i'm really stuck on what would should that i have that. Any ideas for songs that show my range and are good for auditions? thank you :]
mp95 answered Sunday February 24 2008, 11:26 pm: if there's music, it's a musical, not a play. just thought i'd put that out there.
anyway, a wide range is good. so i'm assuming you're a mezzo(middle range). i could be wrong, though. but a mezzo song from a musical would probably be the best choice.
some suggestions...
soprano: goodbye, little dream, goodbye-anything goes, climb every mountain-sound of music, i could've daanced all night-my fair lady
mezzo: i don't know how to love him-jesus christ superstar, on my own-les miserables, come to your senses-tick tick boom
alto: i get a kick out of you-anything goes, all that jazz-chicago, there are worse things i could do-grease
if this show is a newer more pop-ish show, i suggest singing something of that genre. however, if its an older show, i'd say sing something more jazzy and upbeat, or slow and pretty, like the stereotypical school musical. good luck! [ mp95's advice column | Ask mp95 A Question ]
