The Musical?

Question

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'm a soprano, 13, loud voice.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

yea i agree that mama who bore me from spring awakenign would be good, but "blue wind" from spring awakening would also work well

Answer 3

yes always prepare things its much simpler and easy to manage,good luck i hope you have a good large audience who appricates your hard efforts.

Answer 4

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're singing, and don't flap your arms, over-gesticulate or do too much "bowing" (bending at the waist while you're singing).  Be animated, but remember, too many actions will be distracting to your audience.

And every soprano and their grandma will be singing "Popular", so don't do that one.

MOST importantly-- HAVE FUN with it.  If you don't enjoy the process, why put yourself through it?  They call it a "play" for a reason.

:o)

Good luck!

Answer 5

Don't sing Popular or anything else from Wicked, it's horribly overdone.  I'd go for something from "classic" 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'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.

Answer 6

Mama who bore me- Spring Awakening.

Make it from the heart and curious.
