MUSICAL THEATRE AUDITION SONGS FOR TENORS

[@ethantaylor670]

shit man I'm a professional tenor, you're an MD, and you have a higher range than me xD

[@bm631]

Baritone singing tenor lines haha.

[@Bowling_Dude]

bm631 baritones in a tenor world

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

If you truly were a professional tenor you wouldnt be surprised. The difference is that in those higher ranges we as tenors have much more sustain, presence and resonance in the higher range. You could barely hear Kevin through the piano, while a tenor would crush it Baritones however, have all their resonance in the mid range so when you go higher they "disappear"

[@RachitTrehan]

Very informative.. I need a vocal coach for musical auditions pl suggest where to look in the east coast. I consider myself a work in progress Tenor! Thank you.

[@RachitTrehan]

@@pedrosilvaproductions And you hit a high G# in one of your videos. Very impressive.. I’m almost there.

[@9206156175]

I love that your videos are real. Like you screw up and I feel like too many people on KZbin are obsessed with perfect and sterile uploads

[@abbyvibes231]

Your stuff is so helpful. Ahh Kev, you're so talented❤❤ keep it up!! I'm a soprano lyricist myself, so I cant wait to see the stuff you got!

[@michaelaalcordo1614]

I’m excited for the bass ones since I have a friend who is one and he needs help finding the right songs! Thanks for these Kev!! :D

[@shayekulit]

Can't wait for the soprano one!

[@SaraH-ps8ob]

Eliza Schuyler yass

[@shay-uh1cz]

Well I need this one. Not everyone can hit your fabulous high notes Eliza! Take Angelica for example. lol

[@q-triplecix7227]

Beautiful voice. Make me proud to be a tenor 😃

[@beanbagboi4844]

OMG! I was totally lost in what song I should audition with, and I instantly fell in love with Stranger In Paradise! Thank you so much!!!!

[@terricheatham3293]

Thank you! I’m a female tenor and have such a hard time finding an audition song. Now I have one!

[@baguette9846]

I'm loving these audition songs videos, they're really helpful and a way to learn about new musicals! Also: have you listened to The Band's Visit? It's super unique and I'm obsessed with it

[@FereldenRefugee]

oh my god, mama look sharp is one of my favorite songs...... chills every time✨✨

[@nathanayotte5618]

So helpful! I’m like a hardcore tenor and it’s sooo hard to find a good song! Thanks so much!

[@Moonfire121]

These are really nice! I know you already said what ranges you were gonna do next but could you possibly squeeze in a video for contraltos/countertenors? I unfortunately just so happen to be one myself and it is _very_ difficult for me to find songs that are in my range.

[@xXxTails0456xXx]

What Do I Need With Love and Something's Coming have been my go to audition songs for awhile! Glad I picked some good ones!

[@mariazierolf]

Someone who does theatre with my high school won a Cappie for their performance of Mama Look Sharp! Ugh I will never forget hearing him sing that song.

[@thirteenfury]

Please do a video on audition songs for silly voices too! You know, the Kevin Lynch style of singing. 😉

[@supercali213]

Agh I love Hairspray tbh! I feel like it's either too hyped/not hyped enough it's weird! I'm in a production and we go on next week I'm so excited

[@hellajet1541]

I'm a mezzo, I'm just watching because I love ur vids

[@corkisolos527]

I was internally screaming when he did thoroughly modern Millie!🙃☺️

[@taylored3697]

Parade is everything! So good.

[@Littlerage_]

Nice!! Please do one for high baritones!!

[@zacharyketcham9244]

Littlerage Gaming high baritone for life

[@BiFuriouss]

Yessss my people

[@zacharyketcham9244]

The best voice in my humble opinion

[@hauntsandamusements]

"Almost Like Being in Love" mentioned in this video is actually a high baritone, not a tenor.

[@pacienciayfe9771]

It's weird because I'm a female, but I'm lower than an alto.

[@bobsponge6062]

Contralto

[@deannahayward4600]

Same tenor girl

[@geesegoose7235]

i was born female and i sing with the guys in my high school choir.

[@3N3MYKN1GHT]

Thanks for tickling my ears with that Lost in the wilderness, i sure like that Lost in the wilderness thing you sang.

[@renstitulaer5348]

Thanks so much! I love your taste in music(als) so I found plenty I liked and it fit my range.

[@LazyHubbStudios]

“And They’re Off” from a New Brain is also really good. So is “Never Ever Getting Rid Of Me” from Waitress

[@electricutedoldman]

Yay I requested this :D

[@hauntsandamusements]

Great list, if some a bit overdone, but "Almost Like Being in Love" is for a baritone.

[@electricutedoldman]

Something's Coming from WSS reminded me of your song "I Do"

[@aldafiadnan]

Can't wait for your Baritone list!

[@titancarlman4702]

This was very very helpful, thank you for this

[@c.w.r.794]

I always auditioned with Sondheim or Rodgers and Hammerstein.

[@natehaken2686]

THATS LIKE EVERY SONG

[@Mousy677]

mama look sharp is WONDERFUL

[@lanicakes8778]

female baritone in the house!

[@oliviahannant5537]

Could you do an over used audition song video please thanks!

[@yona4121]

Olivia Hannant although when you think about it- I already just feel "ON MY OWN" being screeched

[@oliviahannant5537]

Leona Abrera oh yes definitely honestly too many people have ruined that song it’s a shame as I love les mis

[@elizabethk2527]

ON MY OWN, PRETENDING HE’S INSIDE MEEEEEE

[@cyguslorman]

Leona Abrera Do you think it would be appropriate for me to use "Stars" or "What Have I Done" for an auditon?

[@alexk1463]

@@cyguslorman Definitely not stars!!!!

[@adriantamburini]

You are a legend. Thank you

[@shanrfernando]

This has helped SO MUCH thank you!!!

[@mikerophone7923]

You chose the right songs for your voice. I think i'll use the 5th classical ballad

[@El.Chico_Hector]

Thia is gonna help for my audition for Jonny in Zombie Prom

[@williamchen6105]

Lost in the Wilderness is my go-to audition song

[@nicolasgralewicz4727]

Children of Eden is my go to for anything. I actually remember doing it at a school event and my friend asked if it was from Wicked.

[@morvenrenfrew4581]

I legit screamed when parade came up, one of the best shows I believe

[@mewtwothree456]

(plz also do a contra/mezzo one too) x

[@ReviewsByLeyla]

A video not on a monday or thursday? Today is a good day

[@madeleinebrand1039]

Thank you for answering my DMs!!! Love you

[@LaraAkalUMN]

LOOOVE your tenor picks! yay Kurt Weill!

[@DarianVOds]

There contemporary songs for basses? Thought it was just tenor 1 and 2 (Or in Pasek and Paul's songs its just tenor 1 and tenor 1)

[@oliverball5453]

Lastalia In this day and age, bass is a foreign term.

[@Ellenordust]

You should do one for sopranos and then for mezzo-sopranos because those songs also tend to vary wildly, though some girls can sing songs from both voice parts. (me, for example)

[@MatthewMerril]

Hi Kevin I need some good baritone audition songs because I have my school play from Friday-Saturday and then I'll be gone all day Sunday, then I have an audition for a summer musical theatre program on Monday. Which baritone song is best for an audition that doesn't require too much rehearsal?

[@andiekozakiewicz6509]

YOU ARE MY HERO, THANK YOU

[@bearboi6908]

tenor girl gang rise up

[@nathangoldberg5939]

I recommend there are worst things I could do from grease too!

[@DavidTorresFuentes]

I love this great content!

[@ohmyh8rt81]

Woah okay I’ve been told I’m a tenor but this is WAY higher than I can sing 😂

[@eurydicecoded]

Great video!

[@JakeGoesOnline]

Excited for Baritone

[@legendarykids6959]

Hi! Could you recommend something classical for a really high Tenor? Would be great...!Thanx

[@thebrysonbattle]

Thank you this was really helpful

[@MisterITRO]

I think Parade is a brilliant show and people should do it more (Broadway I’m looking at you)

[@jackduffieldvlogs3042]

Audition Season for me and at last got to options for my show

[@elliotgoldman3862]

Almost like being in love can easily be sung by most baritones also.

[@KevinLynchMusic]

True!

[@hauntsandamusements]

Elliot Goldman Yes! It’s a lyric baritone song.

[@theoperatripleaxel5417]

Wanna see you try to do best ones for countertenors hahaha thats a challenge!

[@cyppy7473]

I just need a pop/rock audition song for rent

[@adrianmathers523]

Please do one for baritones!

[@Juicycroissanwich]

You should do into the woods movie vs musical

[@PumpkinTaterMan]

You should listen to songs by Sam Salmond. I feel like you would like him. I personally really like the the song “I’m cool”

[@jakelyle6098]

Where my baritones or baritenors at?

[@zachanemoia]

My vocal coach said I'm a tenor but those songs seem to high for me Maybe I just need to train my mix more

[@juniorboss5157]

Question the notes that u sing in the songs r those the highest notes in them or do I have to check them

[@jadynkoneski]

Can you please do one for sopranos? 😊 love your videos

[@meggypeggy9142]

Do mezzo soprano Betty audition songs!!

[@nolannicholas5821]

Would Dreamer in Disguise - Carrie the Musical or Proud of Your Boy - Aladdin the Musical be good audition songs?

[@damlatty]

waiting for the soprano one

[@nat5464]

YESS PARADE

[@paigemckay5917]

Could you do a Mezzo one?

[@0discardedMenace0]

i got war flashbacks at lonely house because i sang it for a college audition and didn't get into that school (but i mean it was mostly since they're transphobic and less my song choice)

[@lilliediane8011]

sorpranos..lets get on it lol

[@kira6260]

My lowest range is f3, and my highest range is e5, what would I be? I’m here bc Tenors are kinda in between that, but I’m not sure. I want to know bc I am auditioning for a play!! Thanks!

I don't. I'm a pro

[@samarthsharma3018]

Y'all i don't like to show off but i can sing in both baritone and tenor range

[@chrsp1992]

If my voice range (chest voice) is f2-a4, am I tenor or baritone?

[@havoc7069]

Cristian Spiteri first how strong are your notes from G2 - C3. Are they strong enough to be usable on stage or not. And also how comfortable are you from about C4 - F4 (G4).

[@chrsp1992]

@@havoc7069 hey. My g2 -c 3 would need some amplification, they're not so loud, but still usable. C4 to f4 is my loudest and my comfort zone. G4 Is good too, up to a4 but occasionally I strain. I tend to strain more on g4 than a4 strangely

[@chrsp1992]

@@havoc7069 but I think I'm baritone, the reason. Is because my voice is naturally loud and very powerful, whereas tenors seem to sing softer and lighter

[@havoc7069]

Cristian Spiteri Can you sing the D4 - F4 quit or do you have to get loud

[@chrsp1992]

@@havoc7069 in chest voice, d4 to f4 is loud, and rings beautifully. Or I can make a softer head voice. Maybe better if I just send you a clip of my voice?

Audition songs for sopranos

Eek thankssss

do sopranos !!

[@anthony1323]

Hi

[@honeybee1256]

Can you please react to some of the music from the grinning man please!!!

[@kimmillard9445]

These are really high baritone songs. I'm a lyric tenor and the tessitura for all of them is a little low for me. Songs for actual tenors would be: Maria - West Side Story Empty Chairs at Empty Tables - Les Miserables Love Changes Everything - Aspects of Love. (Better have a solid top b-flat.) Bring Him Home - Les Miserables Come to Me, Bend to Me - Brigadoon I Like Him - Man of La Mancha Why God, Why - Miss Saigon Bui Doi - Miss Saigon Run Away With Me - Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown

[@oliverball5453]

Kim Millard Empty Chairs at Empty Tables has the same high note as What Do I Need With Love so there isn’t that great of a divide between the two.
