Ideas for Auditions

School season has come again, and with school comes the school musical.

And, thus, this list came into existence.

This is a list of suggestions for auditioning!

Male:
'Pity the Child' from Chess, tenor.
- There is so much emotion and power in this song. And if you can pull off the incredibly high belting, I'm sure the casting director will be very impressed.

'This is the Moment' from Jekyll & Hyde, tenor.
- This song is so... cheesy. But that's okay for an audition. It is very showy and will definitely use your range and breathe power.

'Epiphany' from Sweeney Todd, bass/baritone
- This would only be an option if you were auditioning for a part involving these emotions. And don't scream it. I am certain that that would not impress anyone.

'You Should Be Loved' from Side Show, baritone.
- For any of you men who could sing this song well: I am very envious of you. This song is amazingly written and would impress anyone if you performed it well.

'Why God Why' from Miss Saigon, tenor.
- You have no idea how I wish I could sing this song for an audition. So amazing. Perfect for anyone going for a lead role, that it, if you can sing it.

Female:
'How Did We Come to This' from Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party, Alto
- Such a beautiful piece with so much emotion. Perfect audition song for any alto.

'Someone Else's Story' from Chess, Alto
- I honestly think that this is the ultimate alto audition piece. Incredibly beautiful.

'And I am Telling You I'm Not Going' from Dreamgirls, Alto
- If you can belt like this lady can, you'll probably make it in the show. However, this probably wouldn't be a good idea if you were auditioning for something classical.

'Once Upon a Dream' from Jekyll & Hyde, Soprano
- Possibly too simple for an audition, but some directors like that.
