15 year old newb here - What sing?

2 Upvotes

It isn't a high school production, if that matters - it's the community theater. The audition directions on their website are basically just when to be there and a list of roles, plus this:

Prepare 32 bars of a ballad or upbeat song and bring sheet music in the correct key. Dress for movement.

The musical itself is The King and I, which probably is important.

I'm guessing the sheet music is for me (not an accompanist since an accompanist isn't mentioned). I've got previous experience with sheet music, but for trumpet, not singing. Any major differences I should know?

I'm female, but my vocal range could probably best be described as baritone (if Wikipedia hadn't been vandalized when I last checked). I like Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, for example, however I don't know how many measures the songs are or how to figure this out, so. Can I just count it out? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

TL;DR: I'd like suggestions for 32 bar songs I can prepare in 16-17 days. Female teenage baritone-ish voice. Don't think I'm supposed to pick a specific part to try out for.

Edit: Alto is the word I am looking for.

Legally Blonde - Brooke Audition

5 Upvotes

I am auditioning for Brooke Wyndham knowing that I need to take the month prior to auditions to get into shape. Has anybody played this part (or something similar) and do you have tips for how to get “whipped into shape” in a month? I’ll continue working out after auditions as well but want to make as much progress as possible between now and April 10th!

Song help—Beth in Little Women?

1 Upvotes

Hi all! I've got an audition coming up for Little Women. I'd love to play Beth but will be happy with any role. I just have no idea what to sing! A lot of my internet research has suggested "The Beauty Is" from Light in the Piazza, but for several reasons it's not a great choice for this audition. Any ideas??

Need audition song (15 male tenor)

1 Upvotes

Hi you guys! So I'm auditioning for the play side show (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_Show) and I need help thinking of an audition song. I'm going for Jake mostly but anything of the style of the show is good. It should be of the style if possible and from musical theater, but not from side show itself. It's not a high school production, if that matters (cmtsj), and I would like to try to get a good part. I'm a tenor, 15, an ok dancer and a fairly good actor, and if there's any further information you need, just comment! Thanks so much!

I'll be auditioning for Little Shop of Horrors the Saturday after next; what should I sing?

2 Upvotes

I'm nowhere near the best singer, so musicals have never been my strong suit. However, I love to perform so I don't care too much about how terrible my voice is. Unfortunately for me, the casting directors for musicals most definitely do care. What songs do you all recommend (from musicals with a similar style) for me to sing? Something more character-driven than belt-your-heart-out.

I am male and will be auditioning for all the younger male roles in the show, primarily Melchior. I need to have a song prepared for the audition that has to be similar in style to the music of Spring Awakening, but can’t be from the show. Any ideas?

Hello, this is a very desperate call. Does anyone know what format the phone number has to be in for the online audition form? If you could give a detailed guide on everything in the form that would be great but if you can't just the phone number format would be fine.

Help Finding Sheet Music

1 Upvotes

Hello! I have an audition coming up and I am trying to purchase some sheet music for the song "Turn Back O' Man" from the show "Godspell" I am currently trying to find sheet music that I can purchase for the 2012 revival since that has the part that I want. Currently, I can only find it as a PDF but since it is not bought by me I'm hesitant to use it. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Weird Monologue

1 Upvotes

I am working on a monologue that requires me to deliver lines in a peculiar way in order to be in character. I am good at delivering the monologue, but I am worried that it will seem weird out of the context of the show. Do you think people will get it without context or should I look for another monologue for my audition?

Dancing

2 Upvotes

I was recently asked to do a last minute audition of a musical. I think I have everything under control, except the dance portion. I’ve never taken any formal dance lessons, but the person I’ve spoken to said it can be as simple as how I’d break it down at a wedding. (Vague. I’m Latine. I only really dance cumbias at weddings or other parties for that matter.)

For a little more context, the show is in development for a k-6 anti-bullying education.

I've heard some people say they fear getting nervous, and because they're afraid to get nervous they get nervous.

Does this happen to you, what audition fears come up for you and how do you deal with them?

Auditioning for college scholarship

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am new here so please direct me elsewhere if this isn’t the right place! Also I am on mobile so please excuse any misspellings or formatting.

Ok so! I (26f) am going to be auditioning soon for a college scholarship and am having trouble picking songs. I have to pick 2 pieces and I need them to have accompaniment online. We are having to record them and put them on YouTube and send the link to one of the music departments chair members. I am a soprano (high soprano) and nothing seems to be sitting in my sweet spot. My high voice isn’t as high as it used to be and my low isn’t as low as it used to be. I am like awkwardly in my mixed voice but it isn’t very strong. The only music I’ve been singing is lullabies (I have 3 little ones). I don’t want to audition with anything over done or inappropriate. I am going to be going to a private baptist college. Please help? I wish I wouldn’t have waited so long to go to college. I haven’t been keeping my voice warm for a few years due to health issues. Now I’m paying for it... any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Into the Woods - Baker's Wife AND Cinderella

1 Upvotes

I am auditioning for this show. I have dreamed of being in it since I was seven years old. The director has posted the desired ages of the characters as 20-30 for Cinderella, and 30-40 for the baker's wife. I am 30. Is there a song that would work for BOTH of these characters? I was looking at The Miller's Son for BW, but it doesn't work at all for Cinderella. I always thought of Take Me to the World, but I don't know if that fits the baker's wife...

I am certain that I am not the first person who has had this dilemma. Any suggestions or anything I could look into would be very much appreciated - thank you!
