Audition song ideas?

Question

I am 13 years old and my range is F3-C6. I have kind of a sweeter voice, but i can sing songs that have a slight belt, like annie songs, but nothing too belty.

Answer 1

Annie songs are belt songs... they're the beltiest songs there are for kids to sing. There's nothing slight about it...

Here's a mix of songs to try:

The Girl I Mean To Be - Secret Garden
My New Philosophy - You're A Good Man Charlie Brown
Little Known Facts - " " (Charlie Brown)
Why Am I Me - Shenandoah
Born To Entertain - Ruthless
I Want It Now - Charlie & The Chocolate Factory

Good luck

AGAIN! This depends on the show you are auditioning for. You would not use the same song to audition for High School Musical as you would for Sound of Music. Instead of asking for song ideas, why don't young actors start doing a little research? Go to the library and check out Broadway recordings, then find the sheet music. Stephen Sondheim is as different from Cole Porter as Harry is from Voldemort. One or two songs is not going to do it. Start to put together a book that has up-tempo and ballads in it. You'll need a couple of Rodgers and Hammersteins (for Oklahoma and SOuth Pacific), a couple of Sondheims (great part for a 13 year old in Sunday in the Park), a couple of Disneys (for Beauty and the Beast and Mary Poppins), a couple of rock songs (for Jesus Christ Superstar and The Who's Tommy), etc. etc. etc

Answer 3

Maddi:
Belting is no way to sing, it is a vocal sound that became popular on the Broadway stage. Always learn how to properly mix your head voice with your chest voice. The voice goes
through various bridges throughout the vocal registers (chest-voice, mid-voice, and head-voice}. When I first started singing, I used to scream and then I learned how to use
my registers properly and eventually became a very successful singer.

When you finally master this technique, then you can try some of the Broadway songs from King and I (the parts appropriate for your age) and the Sound of Music.

Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart also wrote some lovely music that is well suited to learning how to sing popular music well. You must always sing lyrically -- even when the music calls for a heavier approach.

I could teach you this technique if you live in Los Angeles, or [e-mail] can help you. He is my teacher. Another teacher who works with singers is [e-mail]. I hope this helps.

Try anything country... country is the easiest to sing.
