Any suggestions good audition song for a baritone?

Audition song suggestions needed!!!! Musical theatre!!!?

  • I have a few auditions coming up, for youth musical theatre groups and I am desperately in need of song advice!!! I'm trying to come up with a repertoire of at least 5 songs I can learn and adapt to my audition needs, so a variety of ballad/upbeat songs suggestions are welcome. I am a soprano, but mezzo songs are also welcome as I have a mediocre belt, and it would be good to show diversity! I would prefer to stay away from Phantom/Les Mis/Wicked, as much as I love them (I really do, they're my favourite shows!) they are much too over-used in auditions, and I'd prefer songs I can out my own spin on, rather than being influenced by the THOUSANDS of performers I have seen do them... :L I am a teenage girl btw, so only female songs please, and when I say soprano I mean musical theatre/light classical only! I can't sing opera, so those suggestions are useless... I prefer ballads but do need some upbeat songs as well :) Please help!!! *QUESTION* There's this one song I've found that would be perfect for me to audition with, but it is part of an unreleased musical and has only been performed in a concert of the songwriter exhibiting his work...is it legal for me to use it?!?! Thank you xxx

  • Answer:

    Caro Mio Ben. This is classical, but it's an art song and not opera. You can sing it in it's original language--Italian--or English. It's more of a mezzo song I think, but it's very pretty. In Trutina. This is also an art song. Pretty and not too high. Looking into some Broadway music could also be helpful. Try something from South Pacific, Sound of Music, etc. If you want upbeat, these can be some good choices. Ave Maria by Schubert doesn't get very high either, but the timing and long phrases can be difficult. For more of a soprano piece, you can try The Lord's Prayer as sung by Charlotte Church. You could also try Danny Boy. I think Charlotte Church sings this one also. But keep in mind that both of those songs reach at least a high A. Hmm, this is pretty much all I can think of right now. And sorry, I have no idea if it'd be legal or not to use an unreleased piece of music. I'm a voice student that's either a mezzo or a soprano--my teacher hasn't figured it out yet, so these are all songs that I've learned or will be learning. Look them up on youtube and see what you think. I hope this helps a little.
