We Sing Pop Wii Song List

[Shinyoung Gedris]

Oneoctave songs can be easy enough range-wise, to build new habits, to practice on, to learn new technique. As long as the other criteria listed in the beginning of this article are met - no big jumps, not chromatic. etc. Here's a short list with one-octave songs that are good for practicing.

Overused selections (This is not always as important for college auditions, but it can serve as a warning and you may want to bring other songs. If the song is perfect for you, its probably ok for a college audition if its on the list below, for the list above, its probably not a good idea regardless of how well you sing it.)

Things in Europe are a little different than they are in the United States. I gave a masterclass earlier this fall in Sweden and almost every student had a Jason Robert Brown or John Bucchino song in their book and it seemed totally acceptable. You may want to email their admissions rep and ask them. England may be different and none these rules may apply. Good luck!

Modern rep is always a challenge to find. At the end of the day, if you sing something that may be overdone, make sure you really think about it dramatically and try to bring something different to it.

Hi, I have an audition for a High School regional project of Cinderella (R&H) and I am hoping for a stepsister part. I will be entering my freshman year of high school next year, look much older than I am (Have been mistaken for four years older than I am since the age of 11) and am a mezzo that has a large range (can sing way down to tenor and can sing many soprano songs).

I am working on putting together a cabaret/dinner theatre show using overdone audition songs. The premise is simple, the songs should be relatively well known and canned versions of them should be readily available. I am writing it for a quartet, two woman and two men. One older couple and one younger, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone. Need to include duets, trios and a couple quartets as well as solos. Of course, with the popularity of Les Mis right now, will have a couple sets from that show. Any ideas out there?

Ok, the choosing of audition songs can prove to be a daunting task. It seems like there are so many songs on the DO NOT list that its hard to come up with songs to even use. I have 2 upcoming auditions, one for Les Mis and one for Into the Woods. For my Les Mis audition I had chosen to do You Must Love Me from Evita bc of the emotion that can be portrayed. But you mentioned selections from Evita being a bad choice. For my Into the Woods auditon I had chosen My White Knight which you also placed on the DO NOT list. So, do you have any suggestions on better selections for an audition for both of these shows???

Look up the posts on picking the perfect audition song and discovering your type. I think those two should lead you to a long list of repertoire that will serve you well for years to come. If the audition is coming up soon, stick with what you are comfortable with. If not, I think the Evita is fine, but I would work on finding an alternate for My White Knight.

Switching gender on a pop/rock song is usually ok, but with musical theatre you are better sticking to the gender in the show. When you sing a song for an audition, you are basically saying this is an excerpt of a role that I could sing.

I am graduating from college with a BA in Theatre this spring and I have an audition for a professional musical theater company coming up. Would you say that this list applies to professional musical theatre auditions as well? Or are there more shows and songs that should be steered away from?

Pulled is definitely overdone. The Samantha Brown piece is not. As for Neil Simon monologues, I do see a lot of them. However they are somewhat standard rep and they come from actual plays instead of monologue books, which are two positive attributes. Standard repertoire is a little bit different when it comes to being overdone. The overdone monologues and songs that get annoying are those that come from pieces that are the hottest thing at the current moment.

Madame Butterfly is not a musical, so that would not work for musical theater audition. I list Aida, but that is the musical by Elton John. Try finding something from the singers musical theater anthology that fits your vocal range. There should be several things out there for you.

I know this is all about college but can you offer any advise to Children. I have a 9 year old daughter auditioning for local and Broadway coming up in a few weeks. She is a soprano and can belt. Would you suggest still staying away form the songs on your list or do you think there is more leniency when it comes to children. Any advise on song choice and any Do nots would be a great help.

Thank you!

There is definitely more leniency for a nine-year-old. Especially because there are so few roles out there with solos for them. I do think it would be in her best interest to sing something as close to her age as possible. Definitely do not sing anything overly adult.

Hello! My name is Delaney Hagy and I will be auditioning for several colleges this winter. I was wondering if you thought Someone to Watch Over Me or It Might As Well Be Spring are overdone/ good audition choices?

Thanks so much!

I will be auditioning at Emerson College as a prospective Musical Theatre BFA . I have been considering Nothing Short of Wonderful from Dogfight or A Summer In Ohio or I Can Do Better Than That from The Last Five Years, Which do you believe would be most appealing? Also, I am required to have another contrasting piece ready to audition with. Could you give me a few ideas as to what would be contrasting to the pieces I mentioned? I was thinking possibly Pretty Funny from Dogfight. Any other suggestions?

I am audition for the BFA Musical Theatre program at WVU and we are supposed to have contrasting pieces. I was thinking An English Teacher from Bye Bye Birdie, or Happy to Keep his Dinner Warm from How to Succeed for my upbeat piece. Are either bad choices or overdone?

hi i have a question about ethnicity during a college audition. is it a no-no to sing a song that is sung by a person of some kind of hispanic descent if you are not hispanic even if the song cut does not mention being hispanic in it? i thought in the heights would be an interesting choice to pick for a college audition, so i was curious as to what you would think.

I am auditioning for college BFA programs and struggling to find the right comedic monologue. I have a natural comic flare and am good at dialects. I do know that using accented monologues are not recommended. I would like to find a goofy, nerdy monologue from a published play. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

For a high school production, I think something with a romantic theme is just fine. In high school they are not looking for the same things as they are for college auditions. So if you feel really comfortable with it and think it fits the show, I say go for it!

You might have the most impressive pipes in the whole of your city. You might sound like a strangled cat when you sing, especially after a few drinks. But whatever your range and ability, you will take to the stage for one of these karaoke songs. And it will be brilliant.

Choosing the right song is crucial. If you can't sing in tune, perhaps opt for a rap. If you want to show off that high range, potentially opt for a bit of Whitney. In our list of the best karaoke songs ever, we've got everyone from Madonna to Lizzo, and from Toto to Frank Sinatra. Take a shot and warm up those vocal chords, people. These are the best karaoke songs ever.

That riff, a cross between a sitar and a revving dirt bike, is the most recognizable thing about the song. For such a ubiquitous hit, the lyrics continually surprise beyond the titular chorus. So much so that when Cat Power covered the tune in 2000, slicing off the refrain, it was a strange new poem about the anxiety of commercials and subliminal advertising. This from the first rock band to develop a brand logo, a pair of juicy red lips.

Can everybody sing Bollywood songs? Well, the answer to this question would be both yes and no. Yes because actually, we all sing or at least hum Bollywood songs. We do it mostly while taking a shower. We hum a tune to pep up our moods while doing some mundane chores. We sing to ourselves when we are all by ourselves. We also sing for our friends and loved ones and/or with them during some informal get-togethers.

Till the last decade before the advent of smartphones, people used to play several games to keep themselves occupied. One such game is - Antakshari. Literally meaning the last letter, the game involves singing a song starting with the last letter of the preceding song sung by the opponent team. Thus, we have enough proof to say - everybody can sing Bollywood songs.

However, if we ask - can you sing a Bollywood song like a pro? Well, the best answer to this question is likely to be diplomatic silence. Yes, not everyone can sing a Bollywood song like a pro until and unless they are properly trained in it.
