I have a pretty decent range so I could probably pull off a song meant for an alto. I was told to find a song from the same time period as Fiddler. And I don't know if that means the same time period as the story? meaning like the 1900s, or the same time period as when Fiddler was written. So I'm at a loss, I need help!
If I were a rich man
I am a girl and I need to audition for FIddler on the Roof with a song from FIddler on the Roof, preferably a song sung by a girl in the play. I don't want to do matchmaker because everyone does matchmaker, any other suggestions??
THank you so much
I have recently been chosen to be the first violin in the orchestra pit for Fiddler on the Roof. I have not received any music yet and would really like to get a head start. Where can I find the sheet music online (free), just for that first solo at the beginning of the play?
Since 'Fiddler on the Roor' is a copyrighted work, you probably won't find any part of the score free. And even if you do, there's no guarantee that what you will get will bear any resemblence to the score that you will be using for your production.
Your best be is to nag your music director until he or she makes the score avaialble to you.
I am a sophmore this year and my school will be putting on Fiddler On The Roof.
I was an extra/chorus member in every play last year, the principals were mostly seniors and we dont have many juniors from last year so I feel I have a larger chance than last year. Although I'm a little new to singing I'm confident in myself.
I have a lower vocal range. Any suggestions? I have to audition with a song from a different musical.
Anything from that era of musicals. Carousel, Sound of Music, King & I, State Fair, South Pacific, Etc...
Most of those classic musicals have at least one song in them that will closely resemble the song sung by the character you want to be cast for. Know what role you want and find the relating song in the other show and sing that. Also, don't fret if someone else ends up singing the same song. Just take note not to sing it in the exact same way with the same gestures and inflections as they did. Sing it in the way you practiced it.
It's typical for several actors to sing the same song when auditioning for a classic musical. It just happens. What you don't want to do, is sing something from Phantom because it is way out of your age range and isn't appropriate for Fiddler or to sing something from a newer show like Hairspray because it is a completely different style.
I am planning on trying out for chava in a production of fiddler on the roof, and i was wondering what vocoal part does she have. I am a second soprano so does that mean my voice is to high for that part?
Chava is actually considered a mezzo soprano by most, I think. (Which is pretty much a second soprano.) She sings in Matchmaker, so you can download that to see if you can sing it. She also needs to be an adequate dancer, if that matters.
