Hello! I’m Abby, and I’m currently a senior. I’ve done various community and regional musicals for years and I’m beginning to prepare audition material for college MT programs. I’m auditioning for Wagner College, Westminster College of the Arts (Rider University), Marymount Manhattan, Montclair State University, and Long Island University (as of now). As with most seniors getting ready to begin the audition process, I’m very stressed about my song choices! I was wondering if anybody would be able to offer suggestions that are not overdone, yet still recognizable songs, preferably a ballad and an uptempo. I consider myself a sort of “high mezzo”, but I usually just tell people soprano.

Here are 2 of the most recent recordings of myself singing:

[“The Trolley Song” - Meet Me In St. Louis (cover) - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx5I7HuetK4&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL)

[“Green Finch and Linnet Bird” - Sweeney Todd (cover) - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8Yi19oLEuk&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL)

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help! Also please keep in mind these two recordings were from months ago, so I have definitely improved since then Thank you so much for your time!
