So, by tenor/baritone, you are limiting yourself to every song ever sung by a man, right?

Nice of you to help the kid, Jon.

I understand how that can be taken as that, but I'm a high tenor, but I do not want a high tenor song. I'm looking for low tenor/high baritone.

I'm a low tenor/high baritone! A song that works really well is "Johanna" from Sweeney Todd. It's written for a tenor role in a baritone range intentionally, and I love it :P also, for something a little bit newer with more acting range, I've used "Larger Than Life" from My Favorite Year.

If you have more of a belty voice maybe you could try something like "I belive" from The Book of Mormon or "Hello Little Girl" from Into the Woods which has a lower baritone-ish range like you're looking for :)

I Believe gets pretty high up there, as does basically anything sung by Gavin Creel or Aaron Tveit. I also get tenor songs down a step or two for Music Notes - that's how I did "Goodbye" from Catch Me If You Can for my senior recital.
