I am not going to audition for Arts Ed, but below is what I would have prepared if I was going to.
Pre-1965 Musical Theatre Ballad:
- "My Funny Valentine" from "Babes in Arms"
- This song shows a good range. It allows room to make it your own (i.e. when you can belt or use head voice, or mixed).
- ""Green Finch and Linnet Bird" from "Sweeney Todd"
- This song would show off a higher register compared to "My Funny Valentine". It also shows whether you have a string head voice or not. It is slightly operatic, thus making it a contrast to the other piece. It doesn't require a character voice but you can still tell a story through it. When picking the one minute section, I would chose the final minute or so as to include the trill and the top note.
