Yikes…
what show were you in last year?
I lost the parts I wanted to the same girl 2 years in a row.

I was in Little Women! Great show. Scary vocal parts.

Cool!
The first year she got the Red Knight from Looking Glass Land, and the next year she got Albert's mom from Bye Bye Birdie

Hopefully you'll get the part you want next time.

Yeah I hope so too lol

Me too

I'm going out for Jack's Mom in Into The Woods so hopefully no one else will be going out specifically for that part like I am….I'm still nervous though since auditions are fairly soon but I don't have a song yet….any suggestions for a mezzo-alto girl?

Oof, that's my voice range, I think… any idea what kind of genre you want to sing for the audition? It's been years since I've officially done singing, but I might know a few if I sit and think about it.

I'm not sure what genre, but probably not ballad? It has to be a non-Disney Broadway show.

Okay, I'd have to think about it a bit (in other words, research some because I'm not great with musicals, but I know a good audition song when I hear one), but I might be able to suggest a couple later.

Thank you!

Thank you!

What is your range specifically? Like, which notes?

So I started looking at stuff, and I found a playlist that's just a bunch of alto-range musical numbers. I started listening, and so far they seem to be good in that they show off a good amount of range and feel meaningful. Maybe there's something here you like?

Nice

Thanks! I'll have to check it out!

Am I allowed to butt in? Cause I have an audition in a couple weeks for a semi-professional troup and I like the show they're doing. It's my first real audition and would be my first 'big-league' show so I'm really nervous but…..yeah. I'm a mezzo-soprano. I already have a couple go-to songs including one I'm really comfortable with and I've been told by their people it really suits my voice. I don't know if I should stick with that one or take a risk?

It depends……I'd use the comfortable one so if you freeze up you're still likely to remember it.

Yes, besides, 1. the comfortable one sounds like it's good for you and your voice range/type 2. The people you're auditioning for probably haven't heard you sing this song before, now have they?

So I'm thinking of….
