Question
Hello,

You recently posted a question to Amandalynne in category Acting in Plays, Singing:

Hello,

My name is Jenna and i am 15 years old. Last Friday I found out that my high school musical was going to be Guys and Dolls. I wanted to find a amazing audition piece to really "wow" the director. I am a Soprano 2.

I have done shows like Les Miserables, Into the Woods (as Repunzel), and Trial by Jury as the Council Woman. Each student auditioning is required to sing 16 bars.

A song I was interested in using for my audition was "On My Own" from Les Miserables.

Thanks

Answer
Hey there, Jenna...And thanks for writing.

Does this song that you are interested in doing excite you?

Do you understand this song?

Do you relate to this song personally?

Is this song in your range?

If so, then I think you have chosen a good song and I would say go for it.

Does that help you?
