And in high school, that would be the equivalent of a soprano 2, but even some first altos (alto 1) can be OK with mezzo soprano ranges!. As far as tips, make sure you drink a sufficient amount of water and stay away from phlem producers (sorry to be so gross) like milk and oranges - and stay away from caffeine and teas!. Take alot of deep breaths right before the actual audition to get plenty of oxygen to the muscles!.
