What's a musical you love that almost no one has heard of?
Secret Garden Dogfight And a lot of older musicals that some younger kids wouldn't know: 7 brides for 7 brothers Easter Parade Meet me in St Louis Singin in the RainSo many!
My friend needs a good song for a little recital! She is a second soprano usually. She's 17! Any thoughts?
Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant. AMAZING! But my spring concert will be pretty great:)
Those songs did help, thank you! I'll have listen to the ones I'm not too familiar with. Thanks again! :D
You're very welcome!
Do you know any modern, non-belty mezzo-soprano 2 songs from musicals? I need options for songs to work on in my voice class, but I don't know where to start!
Most modern musicals are belting shows but here are a few (modern and older) you can try: The Girl I Mean To Be- Secret Garden Sound of Music In My Life- Les Miserables In My Own Little Corner- Cinderella Beauty and the BeastMost songs for mezzo's are belting songs so it's hard:/ I've had the same problem, but I hope this helps!
You're very talented! The only thug I would work on is more breath support and the consistency of your vibrato. These are two things I struggle with too. Try some different breathing Exercises to get in the habit of breathing from your diaphragm. And for the vibrato some spots were spotty. You want each interval to be of equal length. But I only barely noticed that on you! Keep up the good work!
Okay, stupid question but...lets say there's a musical with a good amount of dance but there's a particular character who doesn't dance. Will I still need dance training to play that character?
Dance training always helps in musical theatre. If it is a professional show I would say dance training might help you be cast but if it's community theatre or something, and the character doesn't dance I would say no.
So sorry my english. I mean, what aspects of Raoul do I have to know best for it to work out? Other than his character? Like, what voice techniques do I need to use for Raoul (so it sounds best etc). thanks!
Sing healthy. Raoul songs fairly high (for a guy) so look into different techniques that will help you sing high and healthy!
What do you do to survive tech week?
Lots of caffeine (just not when I'm singing), vitamin C, ricola, water, lots of food, prioritize (school). And get as much rest as I possibly can.
Though I know it's probably hard for me to get in, but I'm actually intending to audition for Raoul in phantom. Any ideas what aspects I need to know to audition for him well? Pardon my EL. Oops.
Get familiar with the character and do your bestSorry if this doesn't help much, I didn't really understand the question:(
What songs do you reccommend NOT doing for an audition? Like, what songs are really overused?
Nothing from wicked Nothing from les mis Nothing from phantom of the opera And be careful with using Disney songs, some are fine, but DONT sing part of your world!
I want to get a tattoo on my chest. What roles can I play with that? I'm a girl
It depends on the role and exactly where and how big the tattoo is. Many roles, you would be able to cover it up with your costume, unless your in something like cabaret or Chicago...
