As my name says, I would cosider myself a "belter" (I use the term loosely because I'm not to sure if that boys). But I'm looking for a roles for a high baritone that are require a more legit sound. I'm not just looking for individual songs, but of course you could list some of the big songs the character sings. Thanks!
Edit- Oh yes! Younger roles only please! No Don Quixote.
It's tough most younger roles are tenors. I know this isn't young but I think anyone can pull it off no matter what their age is. "Stars" is good from Les Mis and "Javert's Suicide." I'll keep on thinking...
That's okay. Yeah, its so subjective. I can sing a lot of tenor roles, and there are some older roles I fit into. In reality I'm a younger, high baritone, but I possibly could play eventually. It works. =)
I've used stageagent before, and its horribly inaccurate. =( Roger in Rent is definitely not a baritone; his tessitura is very high. And Sarah Brown Eyes is a mezzo at least in Ragtime, not an alto. It would be a great resource if they had editors.
Cinderella's Prince/Wolf in Into the Woods Rochester in Jane Eyre Chauvelin in Scarlet Pimpernel Wheeler in Do Re Mi Lancelot Camelot Although frequently cast as a tenor, Anthony in Sweeney Todd Cliff in Cabaret Beast in Beauty and the Beast Robert Baker in Wonderful Town Czolgoz in Assassins Ruteledge in 1776
Also roles in pretty much any musical revue.

I would consider either Mark or Collins in Rent to be baritone roles. They do have high points in the show, but for the most part their tessituras lie rather low. If you have both that very low rich baritone and the ability to belt rather high (which is indeed a term used for male singing as well as female), you could show off your entire range in the reprise of I'll Cover You. Collins starts out pretty low (I'm not sure of an exact pitch) and is then belting Gs or As by the very end.
