i have one week to learn this but i can do it if you help me!

Answer 1

Does your audition song have to be a Broadway musical song? If not, pick one of the songs you already know which has a strong melody (that leaves out most modern pop songs...), a good range, and some dynamic variation.
Basically, sing lyrics you believe in and can sing with passion and conviction.

For Broadway songs, a few choice ones are:
Summertime, from Porgie and Bess. (A standard in many genres besides Broadway Musicals, so worth knowing anyways)
Midnight (?) The theme song from Cats,
Anything Goes, by Cole Porter,
and anything from Oklahoma, South Pacific, The Sound of Music, or Mary Poppins.

For non-Broadway songs which could easily be used in a musical some day,
Crazy, by Patsy Cline.
Who's Sorry Now, by Connie Francis.

La Vie En Rose, by Edith Piaf...actually, that one might require more than a week's practice, but if you can do a convincing job on an Edith Piaf song, you'll always have a better chance of getting a gig. You'll certainly get noticed... :-)

Answer 2

First, if you begin working on a song now that you will be performing in a week, you are not giving yourself enough time to perfect it. You need a song that you already know NOW that you can polish between now and the audition, probably with the help of a vocal coach. Most of my blown auditions came as a result of using new material that I was not 100% familiar with -- sometimes the lyrics go out of your head, sometimes there's a distraction that blows your concentration like adoor slamming or someone rustling papers or lights coming on.
Second, if you're going to do this -- find a song now for an audition in a week -- avoid something like "Summertime" which only legitimate voices attempt and then after much more than a week's rehearsal. Similarly, Miss Saigon is rangy, difficult, and VERY difficult to phrase. You will find yourself giving out of breath in unexpected places. Go with up-tempo songs that do not require a great deal of sustained notes. "You Can Always Count on Me" is great but it is VERY wordy. "Anything Goes" is also good. And if you want something that nobody else is going to attempt go back in time to before Wicked and try something by Cole Porter, George Gershwin, or Rodgers and Hammerstein (although R&H is deceptively easy-looking, there is a lot of emotion to be invested in their songs)
Third, best of all, have a book full of songs that you know COLD that are ready for any variety of musical audition -- a R&H, a Disney song, a "patter" song, a comedy song, a story song, a Sondheim song, etc.

Answer 3

"You can always count on me" from City of Angels by Cy Coleman
Gutsy, humorous lyrics, not too high.
In a couple of audition song books

Answer 4

how about the theme song from Miss Saigon? "Id' Give My Life to You." Check out www.youtube.com and search for this song. I'm pretty sure you will find this song easy to sing, beautiful one as well. goodluck!

Answer 5

"Oklahoma" might be a nice choice, its popular, well known, lively, well liked
