Question:

Mezzo soprano/alto, looking for audition song?

I am 13 years old, and looking for a pieces to take to a musical theater camp/auditions. I have already prepared "Hold On" from The Secret Garden and I need one more selection. It specifically says on the audition sheet that they want to hear original songs, not songs that are always used for auditions (ie:How many times have you heard Castle On a Cloud, or The Girl I Mean to Be). Something that contrasts with Hold On (which if you dont know it, is a low ranged, powerhouse kind of song) would be great, but that tends to be sort of a problem for me (I do power well, not so much on light fluffy stuff. If anyone has any ideas I would be incredibly greatful!!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Karen Carpenter had a wonderful mezzo/alto voice, so you could easily manage 'Top of the World', or even lighter, 'Close to You'.

Another singer with a lovely mezzo/alto voice is Katie Melua, so you might consider her arrangement of 'The Closest Thing to Crazy'.

Good luck with your audition.
