my 13 year old sister has an auditio for a musical tomorrow but being 13 she is only in the chorus! anyway she only found out TODAY she has to sing a solo in the audition and she doesnt have a song prepared! I`ll admit shes not an amazing singer, she is average but she isnt amazing but what song do you think would work? it a biblical musical but has popish and rockish songs in it! her voice is a tenor :s?

HELLP

popular from wicked is a fun one. you can really play it up.

Ahh. Do not do Popular. That song is terrible for auditions, unless the character you want to play has an annoying nasaly voice.
If the style of the show is pop/rock, pick a song from that genre. Have her find any song that she knows that she thinks would work, and try singing it.

As she is auditioning for the chorus, the musical director is probably just wanting to know that she can sing in tune and carry a melody. So l would suggest that she sings any song in any genre that she is comfortable and confident singing. She will give her best performance if she sings something she is comfortable with.
Good luck!

1. Do not choose any song that is too high for her. When ur voice cracks or faults on notes it lowers ur confidence & turns off the people giving u a part. choose a song in range & if u can a song that emphasizes her best sounding note, even if that is the one just a little bit lower from the end of her range.

2. This is a guess, but she might be doing Joseph & the Technicolored Dreamcoat or Godspell. If she is (or even if she is not), try doing a song from that musical. If it is a song that a lead character sings & she sounds good singing it, that may be the perfect audition song for her. Remember to keep it in her range, though.

3. Do not chose any song that is a pop song or rock, keep it Broadway. Pop songs r VERY bad for musical auditions - take it from personal experience.

4. Chose a song that is not too complicated unless ur sister has already mastered that song in advanced. Learning a complex song in one day can leave u anxious on the day of auditions & can also lower ur expectations & esteem

5. If all else fails, sing ''My Country Tis Of Thee''. You can sing it acapella (without music) & therefore in any key u want. It has a nice range & is not too long or short.

Wish her luck & l hope l was helpful!

sing This is Me by Demi Levato.

Sing something she knows and loves, that she is passionate about. Songs from Wicked (but NOT Popular) are really good, like the wizard and I, or something like What a Feeling from Flashdance if she is passionate about dancing. Anything Andrew Lloyd Webber is good too! Just remember to smile and show her personality!
