Okay so there are these auditions for the school play in January and I am having a difficult time finding a song...My friend suggested The Man In The Moon from the musical Mame. I looked everywhere for a video or a song clip and can't find anything. So my ? is does anyone know where i can find a FREE video or song clip or have a good song for an Alto female? The requirements are it has to be from a musical and we need accompaniment or we can go a Capella. I would really prefer accompaniment so if you have a song that has accompaniment with it that's be great. Thanks!!!1

Well it depends on the genre of the musical you are doing. If you have a specific character in mind you would want to pick a song in the same range as the character and with similar motivations. For example if you were trying out for Kim in Bye Bye Birdie you could audition with "I Enjoy Being A Girl" to resemble "How Lovely To Be A Women." So if you could add extra details on the show like the title and if you have a certain part in mind that would be great so we could all be more helpful. But until then I will just give you titles of classic alto songs.
IF YOU WANT TO BELT TRY THESE SONGS:
Another Op'nin', Another Show - Kiss Me, Kate
Don't Rain on my Parade - Funny Girl
You're The Top - Anything Goes
When You Got It, Flaunt It - The Producers
Meadowlark - The Baker's Wife
They Say It's Wonderful - Annie Get Your Gun
I Don't Know How To Love Him - Jesus Christ Superstar
Part of Your World - The Little Mermaid
Someone Like You - Jekyll & Hyde
Someone Else's Story - Chess
Don't Tell Mama- Cabaret
Mein Herr- Cabaret
Gimme Gimme- Thoroughly Modern Millie
You Can't Get a Man With a Gun- Annie Get Your Gun
FOR A MIXTURE OF BOTH HEAD AND CHEST VOICE TRY THESE SONGS:
My New Philosophy- You're a Good Man Charlie Brown
Goodnight My Someone- The Music Man
Home- Beauty and the Beast
The Girl I Mean to Be - Secret Garden
Nothing- A Chorus Line
The Gentlemen is a Dope- Allegro
Somewhere Thats Green- Little Shop of Horrors
Spanish Rose- Bye Bye Birdie
Once Upon a December- Anastasia
Always True to You Darling In My Fashion- Kiss Me Kate
I Enjoy Being a Girl- Flower Drum Song
If I Were a Bell- Guys and Dolls
DON'T AUDITION WITH A SONG FROM ONE OF THESE MUSICALS:
Rent, Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera, The Secret Garden, Miss Saigon, Beauty and the Beast, Aida, or any of the mature theatre songs of Stephen Sondheim.

SAD or ROCK? Okay.. I'm not sure on that. If by sad you mean.... slow and kind of emo... Evanescence has lots of these, as well as rock, such as: Hello Like You My Immortal Your Star Missing All That I'm Living For Sweet Sacrifice Weight of the World Going Under The Veronicas: All I Have Heavily Broken In Another Life Someone Wake Me Up My Chemical Romance has lots of good rock songs, and so does Switchfoot.
