10 Mezzo Belter Audition Songs That Are NOT “On My Own”

Unrequited love is a big reason many girls pick "On my own" as an audition song. It's because gurl, we all know how that feels. "Sonya Alone" is sure to be something new for an audition panel.

I first came across this song a few years ago in my high school production of "Crazy for You". It's a love song, but instead of lamenting about being hopelessly single she's asking to be loved by a certain beau.

If you're new to the theatre scene, I'd suggest singing this anthem about feeling beautiful and empowered.

It's along the same lines as "Someone to watch over me". Have fun.

Many of you who were around in the 90's might remember this song in "Cinderella" with Brandy in the title role. 

I think it's really cool if an actor can show one of their special skills in the audition room. If you don't already know, the character of Girl in "Once" plays the piano.

Based upon the very grim tale of Leo Frank, in this song Lucille Frank sings about how her husband is an innocent man.

If you're a bit too old to play a teenager, I'd suggest auditioning with "This Little Girl" from Matilda. Ms. Honey isn't very old so if you're out of college. I'd suggest singing this one.

Before you go to your second choice of "Burn" from Hamilton, check out "Times are hard for Dreamers" from Amelie. Let that little introvert blossom in the audition room as you have something new for an audition panel.

This song is filled with loss and pain with a twinge of joy. Give it a try!
