  • 1.  Audition Songs

    Hello! A Thespians has asked me for an audition song, he's a baritone. This isn't something I know anything about, so I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas! Thanks in advance!

    I think I have a couple resources you could send him to try:

    There's a website called StageAgent, I haven't used it before, but it looks fairly simple to single out songs based on your range and provides easy ways to listen to and purchase the music:
    http://www.stageagent.com/browse/auditionSongs/baritone
    If he uses this, I'd be really interested in learning if it was a legitimate resource with good suggestions.

    There are the 16-Bar Theatre Audition Books in several different ranges. Here's a link to the one for Baritone:

    The Singer's Musical Anthrology (also comes in various editions):
    http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/the-singer-s-musical-theatre-anthology-volume-3-baritone-bass-book-only-sheet-music/3563748

    He could also try researching baritone roles in musicals and then looking at the musical to see what songs they sing. I hope that helps! Tell him to pass along any other resources he finds!
