I am trying out for Belle in Beauty and the Beast, what song should I sing?

I have a wide range, but I do better somewhat lower.|||Home|||First off, you don't usually sing from the show unless specifically asked to do so. For Belle you need to shoew that you can hit her money note so choose something that goes up to that E if possible or close to it and show that you can belt it with ease.





Try:


Part of Your World - Little Mermaid


Lord and Master - King and I


Green Finch and Linnet Bird - Sweeney Todd (but this song is difficult to sing and to play so an accompanist may have a hard time with it)





There are several songs that show her character, it's the vocal range you need to show that you can do. Honestly I think Part of Your World is the best choise. Same style in every way. It may be a half or whole note shy of Belle but it's close and maybe they'll have you sing scales to be sure you can sing the notes. Just make sure you choose the most difficult 16 bars or however many they give you (32, etc.)





Good luck,

I would stay away from Green Finch and Linnet Bird - it's more operatic and is geared toward a different voice type than Belle.





Look for a song sung by similiar character who is sweet, but also strong. An idealist.





Some other song suggestions:





Astonishing - Little Women


Somewhere That's Green - Little Shop of Horrors


Many a New Day - Oklahoma


Gimme gimme - Thoroughly Modern Millie





Good luck!!|||anything that show off your voice and any song you can shine on!
