I’m a rising senior preparing for vocal auditions in the coming fall/winter, and I need some help with the selection of my audition material. I know most schools will be looking for at least one classical song in a foreign language and one in English. Other than that, what does admissions look for? Slow, fast, etc.? Something that exhibits range well? (I am an alto but can sing all of the tenor range and all of the soprano range.) Are there certain pieces that are overdone and they just hate to hear?

Thanks in advance!
