Male Songs:
Name: Breeze off the River
Artist/Show: The Full Monty
Gender: Male
Length: 2:40
Song Type: Solo Ballad
Vocal Range: ??? I'm not good with vocal ranges
What's it ment for: It's a sweet song with a fairly good range (but not too crazy), so it would probably be good for a dramatic play.
Name: Grow For Me
Artist/Show: Little Shop of Horrors
Gender: Male
Length: 2:59
Song Type: Solo Ballad, I believe
Vocal Range: See above song
sweatdrop What's it ment for: It has a pretty good range. Kinda tough notes for those you who can hit them. There is a bit of acting in it too, so it's good to show off with.
Name: The Colors of my Life
Show: Barnum
Gender: Half for female, half for male, but either one could sing the whole thing through, and it wouldn't sound wierd.
Song type: There are two parts two it, and those are sung solo, but in the show by two different people.
Vocal range: um...The first part is for male, so its lower, but then the second part can go up high.
What's it meant for: This couple are expressing how they see the world. The man (P.T. Barnum) sees the world in bright colors. Reds, kelly greens, bright yellow. And his wife, in her part, after he's gone, sings that she sees the world in more earthy tones, like browns, silver-grey, sage, amber. It's an amazing song when sung well.
Female Songs:
Name: One Day More
Artist/Show:Les Miserables
Gender: either
Length: a few minutes, depending on how much of it you sing
Song Type: it's supposed to be for several people, but if you sing different parts, you can sing alone
Vocal Range: you can find it for any!
What's it ment for: anything.
Name: I dreamed a dream
Artist/Show:Les Miserables
Gender: female
Length: 3 minutes
Song Type: um..
Vocal Range: soprano part, but saying that it does go quite low so it would be good for range
What's it ment for: sad, you need lots of song acting if you sing this one.
Name: on my own
Artist/Show:Les Miserables
Gender: female
Length: 3 minutes (depending on wether or not you cut the monolouge at the beggining.
Song Type: monolouge
Vocal Range: alto part, but this song doesn't go too low
What's it ment for: anything.
Name: Popular
Artist/Show: Kristen Chenoweth- Wicked
Gender: female (though I'm sure it could easily be altered for guys...)
Length: oh geez... 3 minutes maybe...
Song Type: it's been called a "list" song, if that means anything... solo, when the speaking parts are cut out.
Vocal Range: alto, I guess... the notes don't seem to go very high
What's it meant for: comedic/silly... it's about how to become popular, for goodness sakes!
Name: Tell Me On A Sunday
Artist/Show: either Tell Me On A Sunday or Song and Dance. It's an Andrew Lloyd Webber song, which probably helps more...
Gender: female
Length: 5 minutes-ish... maybe...
Song Type: solo ballady thing
Vocal Range: I think it's supposed to be for soprano, but I'm an alto and I made it work. Also, no one seems to know the song, so if you don't need sheet music for accompanyment, or anything that gives the particular notes away, you can probably make it fit for just about anything...
What's it meant for: range, I guess...
Name: Not for the Life of Me
Artist/Show: Thoroughly Modern Millie
Gender: Female
Length: 2:10
Song Type: Solo starts out slow and goes faster.
Vocal Range: I'm terrible at this
What it's ment for: Well, it's good to show character and there are (again) some great notes in there.
Name: What I Did For Love
Show: A Chorus Line
Gender: Female
Length: not sure.
Song type: Can be sung as a solo, but is technically a compnay number.
Vocal range: It's a straight soprano song, but not opera soprano.
What's it meant for: It's a memory song. the director of a play asks the cast, what would you do if you had to stop dancing tomorrow? This is the song one of the dancers sings.
It's a really good song, but it's an exceptionally tough one to sing. So proceed with caution.
