Voltron: The Musical (Opening Number)
RobotRock35 for Shiro (Takashi Shirogane)
Shiro is another strong character. While he seems perfectly content to not be the center of attention, he is a natural leader and often spouts inspiration to his team during battle... and honestly outside battle too. He has a hard past and seems to try to ignore it when possible.
While I can work around range, I would peg Shiro as a baritone. Like Hunk, though, he probably will sing some in the tenor range (and/or potentially bass range) as well. If you have a wide range, I would love to hear that in your song choice. I think that Shiro's energy is the hardest to decide. Because this song has him in a "mission" mindset, I would say to pick a strong song for him. That being said, I'm really not set on anything and would encourage you to do what feels right to you.
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: "It takes more than a glowing alien wound, a fall from the upper-atmosphere, and crashing into a hard-pan surface at what I'm guessing is about 25 meters per second squared to get rid of me. How are you?"
Line 2: "No! We can do this. We have to believe in ourselves. We can't give up. We are the universe's only hope. Everyone is relying on us. We can't fail! We won't fail! If we work together, we'll win together!"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! I'm happy to tell you that this audition has gotten you a callback! I'm currently on a brief break, so it may be up to a week before you get your callback materials, but be sure to keep an eye out for that! May I get an email address to send it to?
