Please let me know what you think! Thank you soooo much!

I can suggest some songs that are great for mezzo-sopranos: I Dreamed A Dream from Les miZ - not too high, just perfect range for an mezzo-soprano and alto. Someone Like You from Jekyll & Hyde - nice ballad With One Look from Sunset Blvd. I Enjoy Being A Girl - fun song, medium range, upbeat Nothing from A Chorus Line - fun and upbeat Fallin' - from They're Playing Our Song I'm Not That Girl from Wicked - specially great for altos. The lowest is lower E (lower Mi). The Wizard and I from Wicked - highest note is higher E Don't Rain On My Parade from Funny Girl Someone Else's Story from Chess You'll Never Walk Alone from Carousel Unexpected Song from Song & Dance/Tell Me On A Sunday I am a lyric Mezzo soprano, and here are some songs that I love to sing: "When I Look at You" from The Scarlet Pimpernel "Home" from Beauty and the Beast "Adalaide's Lament" from Guys and Dolls "Stars and Moon" from Songs for a New World "How Could I Ever Know" from The Secret Garden "Hold On" from The Secret Garden "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood" from Camelot "So in Love" from Kiss Me Kate "Many a New Day" from Oklahoma! "Anyone Can Whistle" from Anyone Can Whistle That's all I can think of at the moment. I hope this helps. Pick something that shows off your voice and would be entertaining to the audience. so this is an amazing song. Someone Like You- Jekyll & Hyde |
