I'm auditioning for some mainstage productions at this new theatre company that I just discovered not long ago. So it will be the first time I ever auditioned there and..this one audition will be what they judge me on throughout the whole year. It's really weird in the way they put this together, because we audition and they base all the shows they do for the year on this one audition so I'm stressing out here!
Okay what we need is one up-tempo song and one ballad. I feel most comfortable in the belty voice although I'm not sure how wide my range is with it. I never got my voice range before but from what I did on the piano it seems like I'm from the F below middle C to the B above middle C. I get into my head voice around the C then. Any help would be REALLY appreciated..and I need some info. before this Sunday! I know it's super close but I just found out about the auditions today and I don't want to pass it up.
Let Me See, I've never heard that song but maybe and for the Ballad one I dont know if that means like a slow song or something but I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables would be a good one.

Don't use Les Mis! And anyway, I Dreamed a Dream goes up to a D or E an octave above middle C. I think for uptempo you could do "Anything Goes" and for a ballad you could use "Poor Sweet Baby" (Snoopy the Musical).
I really dont think it matters if something is over done, I mean its an audition they base it on your voice and how well you can sing the song, Sometimes its better to pick a song that is "overdone" as you say because they know the song and can compare to how its supposed to be sang, how you interpreted it and how you were able to sing it.
There are some songs that just aren't good to audition with. "I dreamed a dream" is one of them. I don't know why so many people reccomend Wicked and Rent songs, but those aren't good for any audition unless they tell you to sing them.
You probably shouldn't do songs that are super belty, so stick with something pre 80's for these shows.
