Hi! So I have a college scholarship audition coming up and I’m having trouble narrowing down songs. I’m a Mezzo/Soprano and my range is F3-E6, but I’m more comfortable in the G3-C6 with a belt up to a B4/C5 range. I usually play innocent roles who grow; roles like Mary Roberts in Sister Act: The Musical, Sophie in Mama Mia, Sarah Brown in Guys and Dolls, etc. I’m supposed to have three contrasting songs for the audition so here are the songs I’m considering. I've split them into three categories: belt, legit, and mix voice songs. I’m aiming to pick one from each category. Any feedback on whether they’re overdone, or just a straight up bad choice or good choice, or even suggestions for other songs would be very helpful! Thanks!
Legit:
Falling in Love With Love from The Boys From Syracuse (Problem with this one is I don’t know a lot about the show so I don’t know if it’s age appropriate, but I just adore this song and sing it very well.)
Come to My Garden from The Secret Garden (Out of my age range but I love, love, love this song!)
Yes, My Heart from Carnival
The Lusty Month of May from Camelot
Never Never Land from Peter Pan
Home from Phantom
Make Believe from Showboat
Once Upon Another Time from Love Never Dies (ALW and out of my Age Range, but so, so pretty!)
Laurie’s Song from The Tender Land (I think this is technically an operetta, so might not fly for a musical theatre audition- what do you guys think?)
The Finer Things from Jane Eyre: The Musical
Mix (A.K.A what I refer to as my Disney voice, lol):
Crossing a Bridge from Anastasia
Sympathy, Tenderness from Jekyll and Hyde
Morning Person from Shrek (Probably overdone, but I’m considering it.)
If Only from The Little Mermaid
No One is Alone from Into the Woods (Sondheim, BUT the piano part isn't too terribly hard in my opinion.)
Belt:
Woman from The Pirate Queen
You’ve Got Possibilities from It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane…It’s Superman
If My Friends Could See Me Now from Sweet Charity
Me And the Sky from Come From Away (I know, I know, WAY out of my age range, but I’m thinking of the first verse and I feel good singing it!)
In My Dreams from Anastasia
One Normal Night from Addams Family
The Life I Never Led from Sister Act: The Musical (I’ve already played the role of Mary Roberts before and I’m not crazy about doing a song that’s from a show listed on my resume, but I do feel confident singing it.)
So what three songs do you guys feel would be my best bet?
