HOW TO PICK AUDITION SONGS! Amy Lovatt 

If you're auditioning for Dora the you should sing Does anybody have a map from Dear Evan Hansen

I have an audition in a month or so, and I'm auditioning for a very cheery but sad character. SO IM GONNA GO LIFEBOAT FROM HEATHERS!

I saw Book of Mormon in the thumbnail aaaand now I'm here instead of doing homework oOPS

Im auditioning for Wednesday in "The Addams Family" so I'm going to do "Meant to be Yours" from Heathers

I have to audition for my school play via video in the next two days for the junior version of orphan Annie (yeah I know, junior version. imao I hate them, because most of them are rushed and halfassed, but what can I do?) anyway to keep up with the orphan theme, I'm gunna audition with Orphaned at 33. UPDATE: I actually unfortunately had to change songs because I was told that if I wanted a serious part, I needed a more serious song, so I went with Middle of a Moment. Luckily I got a callback and was asked to sing at the audition showcase!! ( the day after I come back from late vacation which will be stressful because I already missed 2 weeks of school and I have to catch up. Oh well) wish me luck!!😁 ANOTHER UPDATE!!! She forgot to cast me. I'm not even being dramatic, I wasn't on the cast list, nor the attendance she and when I performed at the Audition Showcase, she said and I quote: Oh, sorry I forgot you auditioned. Evening someone dropped out and I got the part as Kate with a whopping four (speak or sing alone) lines. So far this year, no one has noticed me, no one had care, I've been bossed around by 13 year old first years who think they're the shit and love being in charge, I've been treated like I wasn't even there, just like all the other people who had been in the PREVIOUS play. It's gotten to the point I get panic attack just think about Annie, and I now have borderline insomnia because every time I try to sleep I see Annie Rehearsals. But here's the kicker. My friend who is in her last year had the part as Pepper and while that may sound all nice, listen to this!!! SHE WAS IN ALL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PLAYS SINCE SHE WAS A FRESHMAN, ALL SHE EVER WANTED WAS A LEAD AND WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY FINALLY CAME SHE WAS CAST AS A ORPHAN!! Pepper is a good part, but she deserved more. Here's the thing about my high school. We *went* by the rule of seniority. Seniors first then the others to be fair to the seniors, however this year that rule went out the window and now we have a shirt ton of mean 13 year old girls as the leads and every other person who has been in Drama was cast as a background character. So year this year it going great for me.

Amy, when you're famous and have over a million subs, please don't forget me. :')

What about Shrek? Should I do All Star??? jk me and my friend are going to do the mom part from anybody have a map.

Audition songs that got me the part: "Windy City" from Calamity Jane for the role of Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun (They are pretty much the same shows!) "Never Never Land" from Peter Pan for the role of the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (This song has a wonderful "I have a story to tell you" quality if sung and acted correctly.)

When you thought your go to audition song was original then you read these comments Great minds think alike don't they Back off my audition songs I'm trying to be original >:V I'm just kidding but I am auditioning for my high school musical production and am probably going to do requiem or kindergarten boyfriend because they don't announce the musical until after the auditions are done so wish me luck(don't actually it's in several months I just like planning way ahead for auditions)

Following these tips, that rules out most female songs because haha, I'm an alto and most musical songs sung by females are songs meant for sopranos. So this is my list: -Waving Through a Window -You Will Be Found -Words Fail -Good For You (all parts) -Sincerely, Me -Don't Lose Ur Head -Get Down -Dead Girl Walking (reprise and original. If I really try and work at it before the audition, I can hit the highs) -Candy Store -Michael In The Bathroom -Once Upon A December

Please Tell me what shampoo and conditioner you use

You're hair looks so nice !! also I really like your videos, you're just so fun to listen to I always enjoy what you upload

This really helps! Thanks! And I can't wait until you get those 10,000 subscribers I hope you get them!

I'm not even auditioning for anything. I just really like your voice. And musicals.

The original 10 audition songs to avoid video was why I subbed! Loved the comedy & how lovely you are!

I'm auditioning for In The Heights and they want a rock song for the audition and I have no idea what to do :( I'm an alto and there are no rock songs for altos

Why is there a dislike??? Who??

Not even kidding the musical was announced today this came at a great time.

I'm a boy, and my voice doesn't suit many male songs because it's quite high😂 but loads of female musical theatre songs, so I was wondering if you knew any that was quite high male? X

My go-to audition songs currently are Lifeboat from Heathers and Young Fiona’s part in I Know It’s Today from Shrek because I’m a young teen soprano✌🏻

My go to has got to be freeze your brain. It's my perfect range!!! I'm an alto and it's hard to find a song that I can sing without going too low or too high. I'm working on my range but right now freeze your brain is perfect!

The fact that brings me the most pain in life is that I can sing Waving through the window perfectly EXCEPT FOR THE FREAKING CLIMAX You know what I'm talking about. Like, the "Is anybody waving? WAVIN' WAVIN' OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" It's so close to my range yet so far. I am emo.

Your amazing ilysm

I sang Defying Gravity for my school's production of Legally Blonde, and I somehow got in with a minor role. And I forgot a part when I sang. I'm still not sure how that worked out, but...

I am a male soprano and have a hard time finding songs that are not female songs (since i feel most auditioners seem to frown upon it. Any Suggestions ( i belt and also can sing very high notes like in my white knight from the music man). thank you for your help.

For someone who has gone in for an audition yet, this is super helpful! Thanks Amy ☺️ PS. Your eye make up is 🔥🔥

The thing about all your (awesome) videos is I always just sit here wishing I was talented enough to dive into the musical theatre performing world... and yet I can’t stop watching them anyway lmao

That’s how I found you!! I’m not even into theatre but I just really like you 😂 I don’t know why I’m not I love going to musicals that I know, they just weren’t really something that was around when I grew up 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am a boy ( or am i? ) and I want to audition for a school play. Would Dear Evan Hasen be good to pick songs for or is that to predictable

Any great suggestions for altos? I'm an alto and finding a good audition song is my internal struggle

I'm auditioning for a loud, arrogant, star-of-the-show girl, so I'm doing Candy Store >_

This is wonderful! ❤️

This video is so useful for me! I can never decide what song to audition with, this is helping me so much!

"I don't know if you know-" *Lifts up boobs* "-I'm a woman." XD

Omg i start a new theater group on the 25th of this month and im SO FRIGHTENED

my friend actually sang waving through a window for our talent show...

Im auditioning for madam thenardier for les mis. Is worst pies in london for Sweeney todd a good audition song?

I'm auditioning for a local group next week, and after a lot of deliberation, I decided to go with one of my go-to audition songs which is Home from Wonderland. Even though the character is too young for me, I can sing it fairly easily and it's a nice song. I figured since I'm not going for a specific part it would be a good song to do☺️

the rules for our musical auditions at school are sing a song from the character you're going for. Ie: for Zombie prom. if you wanted to go for Eddie Flagrante(The Newspaper reporter) you wouldn't sing "easy to say"(Sung by toffee) or if you were going for Candy, you wouldn't sing "how can I say goodbye to love". (one of Jonny's songs)

Hey, Amy! I absolutely love your videos, and this one has definitely helped me a whole lot when I'm auditioning for stuff.

Hi Amy! I am auditioning for the role of Mulan in Mulan Jr soon, and don't know what to sing! I watched the video, but am still unsure! Please help!

love this video! really stuck on finding a song for my audition for Hairspray

I am going to audition for my school district's performing arts program. Can you think of any songs similar to waving through a window. I like the song it's just too overdone for me.

this helped me by singing waving through a window for a school audition and getting to sing solos in 2 songs and a duet so i'm happy

I love this and I love your hair!!

i screwed up my school audition for mary poppins because of my nerves how do i stop my nerves from getting the better of my audition

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!

Omg i sooo needed this i'm auditioning for my school musical soon like omg

I have a solo or duet audition tomorrow so this is gonna be super helpful

I'd probably audition for Veronica with 'There's a fine fine line' because I always get so strong during that song and am so 'I wish I could but... This is too far...HOLD THE FUCK UP'

You’re a life saver I’m going to audition for a uni in September and I’m stressing to find a song and your video help me a lot

I'm auditioning for Sister Act in October and I have NOOOO clue what to sing! I'm auditioning for either Mary Robert or Mary Patrick!

The songs i would do if i were auditioning for something (planning on auditioning for the next community theatre show heh) would probably be good for you or seventeen if from a musical or if not something by ptv or sws cause i can match their voices pretty well XD

Anyone have recommendations for an audition song for You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown? I’m auditioning for either Sally or Lucy I’m not sure yet. I’m a mezzo soprano. Thank You!❤️

I really like to audition with sad songs like It’s Quiet Uptown or really angry songs like Burn, because I can really get into the song and act it well.

I’m auditioning for the housemaid from Mary poppins this spring, and I️ was thinking of singing adaliades lament from guys and dolls because they both have those character nasally voices. Is that a good pick? If not, please give suggestions

I totally figured out the acting part the hard way. I was going to sing hopelessly devoted to you from grease for my high school musical but I got sick at the last minute. So I changed a day before to new girl in town from hairspray to try and go the acting route. Luckily we were doing Little mermaid and they totally loved it. I’m pretty shy and I got a callback as a sophomore, then got cast as a mersister which was exactly what I wanted. And even recently my orchestra teacher who was in the room complemented me on the audition. My advice to high schoolers is that teachers NEED good actors. Overall more people can sing than act so make that a priority

I'm auditioning for my first musical in a couple weeks its 13 Any ideas

I️ am auditioning for Once on this Island and I️ need an upbeat solo that is for an alto girl,any ideas?

I’m auditioning for my high school production of Les Mis in January. My drama teacher told me that because the show is all singing, we will be doing two songs instead of one. She also recommended doing songs that are different from each other to showcase different parts of our range. For my more serious song I’m considering Burn from Hamilton, because it fits my range and I’m comfortable singing it. I am having trouble finding other songs that would be appropriate to audition with and would appreciate any suggestions! I’m assigned alto in my SSA choir but my teacher has told me I could also be a mezzo soprano with my range. If you have any songs you think might work for me please let me know :)

Sang dear theodosia (Hamilton) and somehow got the cat in suessical

my favourite song to sing is meant to be yours from heathers or popular from wicked

I liked this video because of that bear pun

Okay so here is the thing... I found a lower key of watch what happens and I love it so much. It’s very hard as a alto 2ish ranged person to find songs that fit perfectly right off the bat and I think I can do this one... however it is in a lower key and that is something you said to never do, so the question is what do I do?

I'm auditioning for my school's music progam and I'm singing words fail or The Games I play!!

My go to audition songs are "Run Away With Me" from The unauthorised autobiography of Samantha Brown (which is now The Mad Ones) or "Watch What Happens" from Newsies because I can make both of them serious or comical

What about Katie from School of Rock? I need a good song for the audition video. Please help!

okay, we’re putting on hairspray for our school musical.. recommended songs for auditioning for amber von-tussle???? i think that’s her name heck if i know anywho, please help!

SOS I'm auditioning for the wiz this fall, what song should i sing? i will be auditioning for two rolls, Dorothy and scarecrow(the directors said they may play it as a girl so ya know why not). I'm a mezzo-soprano but i can hit lower and higher notes with practice. i would reallllly appreciate some help!!! thanks!

i’m auditioning for mary poppins next week for my schools spring musical. no specific part. any suggestions? i can’t do super high or super low.

Hi Amy, great video, thank you. So in regards Dear Evan Hansen, you mention "waving through a window" a couple of times... I was thinking of having that or "For Forever" in my rep. Do you believe it's over done now and shouldn't be used in auditions? Many thanks xxx

Ok there's going to be an audition on our school... And it's going to be in 2 days. I need this!!!

You probs wont see this but I'll ask anyways... what if i am auditioning for newsies, i am really struggling with what to pick...

I'm switching back to advanced choir soon and I know I need to audition, I think I'll do something energetic but still calm, hallelujah maybe?

I’m auditioning for the role of Veronica in heathers and I’m literally dying for suggestions 😐

I am auditioning for a musical that I have never seen or fully heard before which is "Ragtime". This is my first sorta professional audition for my local theater so I dont know what I should exactly do. A majority of the characters are "adults" but I would like to get a part where I can be heard, and get to sing but I am an unfortunate teenager who looks like a child. What should I do ;;

Hello! I am planning on auditioning for the part of Beatrice Bottom in my school’s production of Something Rotten. I can’t think of any audition songs that would fit. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm auditioning for Newsies to be in the ensemble, but I'm not sure what to sing. I was going to do "watch what happens" and the beginning of "seize the day", but I'm told that I shouldn't do songs from the show I'm auditioning for...

Im auditioned for Heathers next weekk which song should i pick ? Should i pick Candy Store ?

I'm auditioning for Jane Banks from Mary Poppins, but I'm having a hard time finding a good song that matches her personality. The character description the theater gave out said she's snobby but smart. I was thinking about doing The Perfect Nanny, but it's kind of hard to sing both Jane and Michael's part without it being confusing. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. 😊

I've been watching a lot of videos of this type because I'm going to be applying and auditioning for colleges very soon.

If it's a rock musical with a mezzo soprano character that's like Luna Lovegood, what's a song you would audition with?

I'm in highschool and I want to audition for the musical. I'm female is it okay to pick a song that is traditionally song by a male role.

I'm a boy auditioning for Once on this Island. What do I do???

Let's say I want to audition for Bernardo on West Side Story. I am a 17 years old, tenor latino; what should I sing? (I speak spanish, too. Should I use that?)

I can *nail* Meant to Be Yours from Heathers, so I think I'll use that one

Hi Amy, I’m auditioning for Cabaret and I was just wondering if you have any suggestions for what I could sing? Thank you so much I love your channel!

My last audition was for West Side Story and we were told to sing either "I Feel Pretty" or Maria's part of "Tonight" - now I'm an alto (mezzosoprano on a good day) and neither of those songs fit me at all.. I went in, sang "I Feel Pretty" and got given the part of Schranks (the dci that only has one part in each act and both are throwing the Puerto Rican's out of a bar) - I was just so... like, how do you expect to get the right kind of ppl for the roles, if you limit the choices like that?? It was only 2 shows and a matinee and only Maria was perfect (She was born for that role - such a beautiful), but the rest of us were like "that role should've been me (I suit Anita better and the girl playing Anita was better suited for a show like Hairspray)

I am a female but I have been struggling with picking my audition song for the Addams Family. Could you help me? I'm also an alto.

I am auditioning for my fair lady and I don’t know what to sing, though I am a girl, I do sing lower than most girls. I’m thinking about singing You’ll be back from Hamilton. I really need some advice please!!

I’m auditioning for Big Fish in March and I don’t know what song to chose!!! (I’m an alto,) the most song I’m comfortable singing that is a musical is waving through a window.

Hi Amy big fan// I am 14 and stuck with what musical theatre songs to sing for an audition any suggestions...

Hi Amy have you ever done a top 10 favourite musicals video? Because if so I can't find it Xx

What should I sing for my Aladdin audition I’m auditioning to be the genie

I'm auditioning for just ensemble role in beauty and the beast. Any song recommendations? I'm female and alto 1 and sometimes (depending on the song) I can sing mezzo-soprano. I know songs best from Hamilton, Heathers, DEH, Hairspray, Annie, West Side Story, The Sound of Music and Grease. This is irrelevant the audition is also on my 12th birthday which is ironic I guess 😂

I'm auditioning for some theatre schools in London and I need some help choosing a song so do you have any tips on choosing a song? I'm a baritone/tenor!

Hi Amy! I am a huge fan of your videos and I think you are the most adorable and talented singers that gives the best advice and critiques out there. I am a male and I have an audition coming up soon for Shrek the Musical and I hope to get the part of Pinocchio but I’m not sure what audition song to use since it’s a really high falsetto part. I’ve thought about Falsettoing the ending of “King of the World” from “Songs for A New World” but I’m not too sure.

I'm auditioning for Mary Poppins...so unfamiliar with the roles and the music so I'm lost on what to do. I can go up to (excluding super-high notes) soprano 1, and as low as alto 1. Any suggestions???

tHaT tEdDy BeAR GiVEs Me LiFe!

Hey Amy! I was wondering if you knew any good musical theatre songs for altos.
