Wedding Singer Audition Song?#1
Posted: 6/2/11 at 8:43pmHello! I'm auditioning for the Wedding Singer at my school and I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for an audition song, or shows I should look at for audition songs? I'm going for the roles of either Julia, Holly, or ensemble. Thank you so much for the help!

Since 'The Weddng Singer' is set in the 1980's, with a pop/rock score that has that stylistic feel to it, I'd recommend maybe looking into songs from similarly styled shows: 'Footloose,' 'Fame,' etc...or even songs from popular 80's musically themed movies such as 'Flashdance' or maybe even 'Xanadu.'
Since this is a school show you're auditioning for, you could probably pull off music like that and get away with it.
To be honest, songs like 'What A Feeling,' 'Let's Hear It for the Boy,' and 'Holding Out for a Hero' all have some impressive vocal moments that could show off a strong belt and some sustained notes-if that's your strength. Just be sure that you're so committed that it doesn't come across as bad karaoke. Lol.
:)
That's just my two cents.
Break a leg!

Posted: 6/4/11 at 5:37amThanks! My school just did footloose, so I'd rather not touch on that one. And our songs have to be from a stage musical, so Flashdance wouldn't work either. But Fame is a great suggestion, I'll be sure to take a look! :)
