I'm looking for an up-tempo song in the alto range. I need something that is character appropriate for a twenty year old female. Does anyone have suggestions?

Check out the Anthologies for Musical Theatre-there are ones for every range. If you must come up qith something quickly, remember that"Winifred" in "Once Upon ..." was orignally written for an alto voice.

"Cain't Say No" from Oklahoma is another good one.

Do Alto's Lament by Heisler and Goldrich. It's a cabaret song but the funniest thing I have ever heard. If you e-mail them they'll probably send it to you. They sent it to my friend last year.

I like "Anything Goes"- it's a classic and it's fun to sing. Not too hard, either.
