<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I am a musical theatre transfer student, auditioning for several BFA and BM musical theatre schools. The audition requirements are incredibly specific this time around:</p>

<p>It is required that I sing one uptempo and one ballad; one must be a classic musical theatre song written 1930-1969, in a legit/lyric style and one must be a contemporary musical theatre song written 1970-2010, demonstrating female belt; neither song should be longer than 1 minute long. No songs from any production currently playing on Broadway. </p>

<p>I’ve chosen to sing “And This is My Beloved” from Kismet as my Golden Age piece but I am not sure what to pair with it. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Please note:
*I am a legit soprano with a pretty limited belting range.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I’m guessing that no one has responded to your question yet because there are so many options for your contemporary belt song. Almost anything within the specifications you mention would be a good contrast to “And This is My Beloved”! It’s pretty difficult to make a more specific recommendation without knowing more about you, and what sort of research you have already done.</p>
