Audition Ideas?

[BeatrixBow 119]

Hey everypony. This is my first time auditioning for a musical(or any play at all) and I need a song for auditions. My audition is on Tuesday, and I just found out I would need to sing a song for my audition. Any ideas? Sorry, no theme songs.   I guess I'm a pretty good singer. *shrugs* So yeah, reccomendations, videos, lyrics, whatever. Thanks!!

What's the role? It's hard to recommend what to sing, if I'm not sure what you might be singing during the show.

 

If it's pretty miraculous, I would suggest Becoming Popular... you know the song.

Well, coincidentally enough, I've set up auditions for an acapella arrangement, which is close enough to a musical

The people I found the best generally enjoyed themselves. They didn't look like robots, they got in the mood, they made me smile. For musicals, I think they'll be looking for colourful voices instead of siren-like opera-esque singers, so go for a spirited tune that shows off your ability to do just that. My recommendation would be Come What May, from Moulin Rouge - even though a male initially sings it, they'll like it if you give them your own take on it. It's a really beautiful song.

how about "I dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserable.  IMO, if you can pull this song off,  singing this song, would be a fantastic way to show off the full range of your vocal capabilities.
