Voltron: The Musical (Opening Number)
Tangora998 for Lance Mcclain
Lance is a fun-loving guy who hides his insecurities behind bravado and immaturity. When he applies himself, he is actually quite smart, but he seems to feel more comfortable as the class clown type.
While I can work around range, I would peg Lance as a tenor, so don't sing a super low song. It's super important to capture his exuberant energy while having some moments that show a bit more depth, as that's how it is in the opening number of the musical.
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: "All right, team, I've got my eye on the targets. I'll cover you from up he- Hey! Keith! I had that guy!"
Line 2: "Are you kidding me?!? We got taken down by a bunch of people in tree suits!"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.
Hello! Thank you for your audition! I know you gave your range in your chorus audition, but for my own organisation, please give it again on each of your auditions. Also, I would love to have the rest emailed to me at [email protected]. Some of your song content violates the rules for sexual content, however, so please edit out/cuts those bits of the song. Remember, this is a musical of a "kid's show" and many viewers will be younger. There should be no sexual content what-so-ever in auditions or callbacks (or further) and, while a line or two about drugs in your audition is okay, it is definitely not ideal. I know this may seem extreme, but keeping everything fine for anyone to listen to is a key part of the project and I want that policy in practice now. The rules are covered above, but if you'd like more details, I have a rule document I can share with you. Sorry for the miscommunication. Also, would you like feedback on this audition?
Yes, of course I shall definitely send you the rest of my auditions for both Keith and Lance! As well I’ll make sure to cut out the inappropriate lines, and just leave the instrumental in its place. I must have skimmed over that part of the auditions, and so I didn’t think about that when auditioning. Also, I would love feedback. Maybe you can give it to me via email after I send you the full auditions. Thanks a bunch! (Also, I’ll write my vocal range as well as say it in the auditions. It’s about A2-E5 approximately.)
Sounds great, thank you! Please comment on here once you have sent the email.
