Voltron: The Musical (Opening Number)
Pasta for Pidge Gunderson (Katie Holt)
Pidge is a super intelligent young teen who's confidence can often come off as prideful. She feels more comfortable with technology than with humans and doesn't hold back in sharing her opinions. Her main drive is finding her family and protecting those she cares about.
While I can work around range, I would peg Pidge as an alto, so don't sing a super super high song. Pidge has a youthful energy and generally has that "love of life" feel to her. While you're welcome to choose any song, I would suggest that just a ballad may not give me the information I need for her. I'd recommend doing an additional, faster song too if you choose a ballad as your first song.
If you are struggling to find a song to sing, I find that Dear Evan Hansen, Anastasia, Heathers, and Wicked have some good audition songs. Don't forget to look at the less common ones! I honestly think "Crossing a Bridge" is a far better audition song than the much more popular "Journey to the Past".
Do a song that feels comfortable for your voice. You are allowed to sing the song acapella and transpose it to fit your range better, but remember pitch matters. If you can't stay on key without a backtrack, don't sing it acapella.
Please leave a comment on your audition with your range (Ex: "My comfortable range is G3-E5. On a good day, I can sing E3-A5." Here's a helpful chart to help you get the note names correct: https://sublimelody.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Full-piano-keyboard-correlated-with-musical-notes.jpg ) along any questions you may have. Remember that I am happy to provide feedback if you would like!
Line 1: "Why doesn't anyone ever send a distress signal coming from a cool place? I hate the outdoors! Nothing but sunburn and poison oak."
Line 2: "Now, I'll just reset the controls... and it's working for us! I'm going to call you 'Rover.' Follow me!"Sing at least a verse and a chorus of a musical theatre song that shows off your voice.
Optional: Sing another musical theatre (Disney works too for this one) song that contrasts or shows a different skill set than your first song. Ie, a different speed, different range, different mood, etc. Please don't send in two super slow ballads that sound the exact same.
Thank you for auditioning! Would you like feedback through this here or through a private message?
Here is fine!
Okay, so apparently I can only post it on here as a HUUUUUUGE blob of text. Do you have an email I could send it to instead?
Thank you so much for your imput. It’s extremely helpful, and I’ll do my best to reaudition with these things in mind. To answer your question on noise removal, I don’t remember removing the noise in this recording in particular. However, I don’t notice much of a difference whenever I remove the noise on my recordings.
Oh, haha! I had deleted the comment because it didn't allow me to have different paragraphs (and it looked seriously intimidating in my opinion), so I didn't realise you would have had a chance to see it! Do you still have access to it or would you like me to send it somewhere so you can have it permanently? And glad I could help! Let me know if you ever want to clarify something. And, interesting! You must have a very nice mic. That would definitely make the editors job easier. (;
