Question
Im auditioning for fiddler on the roof. im a mezzo range. i dont know what to sing any suggestions?

Answer
Hi there, Marissa...And thanks for writing.

Congrats on the audition!

Regarding what to sing, it is best for you to go to a library and to find songs for mezzo.  Find a song from a musical - one that is in your range and that you like and then prepare it.  

This is the best way for me to help you as I am not familiar with you nor am I familiar with your ability nor am I familiar with your voice.  

So go to the your library and tell the librarians that you want to listen to musical songs for mezzo sopranos.  Listen and choose.  

Does that help you?
