The Musical?

Yea its a mystery musical and we only have a day to prepare for it. I think I should prepare beforehand, I need advice on how to sing well and what song I should choose. I%26#039;m a soprano, 13, loud voice.

DO that one from %26quot;Wicked%26quot; - %26quot;Popular.%26quot; I bet you can really belt that one out and I bet nobody else will choose it. You will be BOFFO, baby!!!

If you have to go in with a song of your choosing, pick a song you already know and feel comfortable with. Learning a song in less than a day will show your flaws.





Go in and be prepared, be confident, think about and express the words you%26#039;re singing, and don%26#039;t flap your arms, over-gesticulate or do too much %26quot;bowing%26quot; (bending at the waist while you%26#039;re singing). Be animated, but remember, too many actions will be distracting to your audience.





And every soprano and their grandma will be singing %26quot;Popular%26quot;, so don%26#039;t do that one.





MOST importantly-- HAVE FUN with it. If you don%26#039;t enjoy the process, why put yourself through it? They call it a %26quot;play%26quot; for a reason.


:o)








Good luck!

Make it from the heart and curious.
Reply:Don%26#039;t sing Popular or anything else from Wicked, it%26#039;s horribly overdone. I%26#039;d go for something from %26quot;classic%26quot; musical theatre - Rogers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Cy Coleman, Gershwin. Go to the library and get out some original Broadway cast recordings, have a listen and see what you like. Pick a song which suits your voice and which appeals to you - if you like the song, you%26#039;ll sing it much better. Stay away from anything currently big - Wicked, Spring Awakening, Avenue Q, Legally Blonde, Phantom, Les Mis, Hairspray, and above all, High School Musical.
