I am wondering what the range for an alto is because this audition information says that the lead role has an alto range and was wondering what it is.

It really depends on the individual, and sometimes on how old the singer is. The average range is F below middle C to a D two above middle C. But some altos can sing lower and others go higher.
The alto range is also broken into 1st alto and 2nd alto; 1sts can usually hit an E or F two above middle C pretty easily, and 2nds can often reach all the way down to a D below middle C.
Hope that helps!

Well the typical Alto voice has a range from a G below middle C to a high G but what you have probably is from a G below middle C to about a high E.

alto (that means for a woman to sing the lower part) sings from G (the one that is under the middle C, 2 lines under the stave) until D(the one that is on the stave), in a range of an octave and 5 notes.
