    My go to audition songs are (in order):
    1) There are worse things I could do
    2) God Help the outcasts
    3) Once upon a December

    • @emmaltheriot
      @emmaltheriot Před 5 lety +7

      Try these lesser-known songs!
      1) Love Will Come and Find me Again (Bandstand) Laura Osnes also played Sandy and it's around the same message.
      2) I'll Be Here (Ordinary Days) this is along the same range as once upon a December.
      3) Once You See (Carrie) Christy Altomare played Sue in the revival, a ballad.
      Hope these helped!!!!

      Have a listen to in short from edges, super boy and the invisible girl from next to normal and live out loud from a little princess. You need something belty that still shows characters. If you were to do anything from Heathers, dead girl walking is a better choice. Best of luck x

    I'm new in the musical theatre world and i'm full of doubts because in my country there is no musical theatre coulture and no one teaches the singing technique. If I'm a Mezzo when belting but first Soprano in choral groups should I just choose mezzo songs or soprano too? Please help me, i'm totally confuse.

      Just pick whatever style of song you feel shows you off the best! It also helps to think about what you are auditioning for aswell x

    I would love some help in finding an audition song!!! I will be auditioning for Curtains and I’m hoping for the role of Georgia or Nikki. I recently did a production of cabaret where I played fräulein Kost, part of me wants to do something from cabaret just because it is also written by Kander and Ebb. My vocal range is a Mezzo Soprano. If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated

    I have a problem
    My choir teacher has said "you have to pick a solo from a Broadway musical that you do not know at all"
    My range goes from low alto to mezzo Soprano, pretty high. But not crazy high.
    Help.

      @aFangirlsVideoMania Před 5 lety

      I recommend listening to some William Finn. Since you’re in the alto range and mezzo, amd most likely have a lower tessitura, try listening to numbers sung by Mary Testa. Infinite Joy, a revue, has some of her best numbers that might fit you.

    The term Mezzo Soprano is really just reserved for the Classical/Operatically trained singer. And every woman in the industry should be a soprano who can belt. We are not one or the other. The songs are geared that way-Chest or Head Dominant, but the singer is not. You are cute.

    • @justjosiejo
      @justjosiejo  Před 4 lety +1

      Hello. Yes I know, but many people still refer to the 'belt' musical theatre songs as mezzo soprano... whether it be correct or not. So I thought it would be an easier way to separate the different song ranges seeing as I've already made videos for altos and higher sopranos. Thank you for taking the time to comment x
