Baritone audition peices....

Sorry if this has been asked....but.. I'm auditioning for miss Saigon in about 2 weeks, have any good auditions songs for me? I'm a strong high baritone, with about a A flat to a E sharp range.... have any Ideas?

I was thinking Halloween or Santa Fe from Rent.. but I was just gonna se if anyone has any other ideas!! Thanks!!

I'm not really sure about your range, because...yeah. blah.

But some songs I've been enjoying ALOT lately are songs by Josh Groban. Mi Morena is a nice song.

I only suggested him because I heard somewhere he's a baritone.

Thanks.. but I THINK** he is a Tenor.. his songs se a little too high for me. but thanks for your help!!

No, Josh Groban has said that he is a baritone. He is a high baritone, but a baritone nonetheless.

Yes, aigoo, but since they are looking for audition help, I made sure to steer them away from Josh Groban. None of his material out right now is musical theatre style.

Yes, I changed my avatar.

No, it wasn't anyone from CSI. It was a different picture of me. LOL

I am a Barritone and I have a wide range of audition songs, but most go to a F or G. Some of my favorites are

"This is the moment"-This is a bit overdone, but when performed correctly will wow you auditors. I usually start on "This is the moment, when all I've done"

"If I Can't Love Her"-Absolutely beautiful song. I start on "No spirit could win me..." and go to the end.

"The Kite" a fun song that shows your comedic side. I usually start from the begining.

"Man of La Mancha"- Once again a popular song, but it shows your voice.

thanks for the help, it was highly useful

the impossible dream and johanna could also work (although the latter may go too high for you, i'm not always the best judge because i've exanded to a tenor range lately)

You aren't auditioning for Plays-In-The-Park in NJ by any chance, are you?

I've been told NEVER to sing Rent for a musical theatre audition....so I guess I wouldn't advise that.
My audition song is "Proud of Your Boy"...cut from Aladin (see Disneymania 3 cd). It's a good kind of rangy song...

Why not sing a song from Rent? It's better than a boring old song from Oklahoma.

why not sing "what is it about her" from lippa's wild party. i love that song. Not sure if its baritone or tenor. ppl always consider me baritone but i can sing up past an Ab...so i dunno.
