Hi, so I have an audition for an art school in August, so I'm looking for some monolog and song suggestions. I have a list of some songs, but no monologs in mind. Please keep in mind I'm in 7th grade and a female soprano. Also, I'm trying to pick a ballad.

-Home, beauty and the beast

- Astonishing, little women

-Used to be mine, Waitress

-Someone you'd be proud of, the in between

Also, I auditioned for beauty and the beast before and I was going to do Fly fly away from catch me if you can but some thought it too inappropriate. Thoughts?

The first three songs will be very common, I would suggest maybe looking for more unique songs. Home, UTBM, and Astonishing could be done even twice before you go. BUT, if that's what you're most comfortable doing and you can really REALLY kill it then go for it. But if these are hypotheticals I would say keep looking. Fly Fly Away is moving in the right direction. No idea why anyone would say it's inappropriate. Great song, underrated musical, good acting opportunity. Very G rated too i don't know what whoever told you that found offensive. As long as you're confident in what you're doing, you will do well.

Thanks! Yeah, I assumed those songs might be overused. I am pretty comfortable with UTBM but I don't know if I'll be better than the others, It's not like we're all auditioning for the same role, though. It's a new school, so there's 30 spots for my grade and conservatory. Yeah, fly fly away I've noticed isn't very popular. Some said it might be inappropriate because the director was just kinda strict about G ratedness (?) so I didn't want to risk it. Also, Sing your own song from dear edwina is a song I have used, but It's a little to low at some parts and that one high note is a big too sharp. Thanks for the advice. Also, any suggestions for ballads? Or momolouges?

Fly Fly Away is a good ballad, as for monologues I am not versed in monologues for middle schoolers. I would say, if you can don't use something from a book of monologues. Use a monologue from an actual full length play you've read or seen. Search monologues maybe from "The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man On The Moon Marigolds." Wizard Of Oz might have one as well.

Thank you, soo much for replying!! They moved my audition to this week, (HELP ME!!) I didn't have much time to choose a song, as I thought I had months lol. My voice instructor and I have decided on I know things now from into the woods, as it was in my range. As for monologs, I'm considering Dorothy's monologue from Wizard of Oz. If you come`up with any plz let me know, anyone pretty plzzzzzz?? I hope I don't sound needy I just really want to get into this school so I can do what I love. I'm confident I can get in if I try, but I want to have the right material.
