We are having musical auditions at my school what song should I choose?

Question

In a week and a half we are having auditions at my school for the musical Oklahoma. I am a soprano and I'm trying to decide what song I should chose for my audition. Any suggestions would be great!

Answer 1

I would definitely suggest another R&H song. Which one would depend on the character you're going for. Since you're a soprano, I would suggest aiming for Laurey. (Yes, she's the lead, I know. Sorry to suggest the lead, but she matches you vocally and that's the only personal info you gave me to work with.)

A couple characters that are similiar to Laurey would be Susie Ward from 'Babes in Arms' (although that is Rodgers and Hart instead of Rodgers in Hammerstein...) who sings "My Funny Valentine" (which I believe is actually considered overused) and Margie Frake from 'State Fair' who sings "It Might As Well Be Spring". You might want to look into other 'girl next door' type characters (possibly Kathie from Singing in the Rain' or Daisy Mae from 'Lil Abner' among others) or other R&H soprono roles for around your age. Laurey is supposed to be late teens or early twenties, so somewhere in that age range would work.

Hope I could be of some help!

Answer 2

There Are Worse issues i might desire to Do from Grease is a sturdy rock-y ballad that'll tutor off an alto belt nicely, incredibly if that is useful. yet another means-belt music could be possibly This Time (or surely something Sally sings) from Cabaret.

Answer 3

The one you sing the best. Although I produced this show years ago, I cannot remember any of the female lead's (Laurie?) songs, but doing one of those is good, too.

Answer 4

Someone to Watch Over Me

Answer 5

Pick a song that your voice fits to...along with one that you can have fun with and is comfortable singing.
