Written By: Harold Arlen & Truman Capote Starting this list off is an old-school, sweet "ingenue" song which is NOT overdone! Most of these types of songs are overdone or downright boring, whereas this piece doesn't fall into either of these categories, making it perfect for auditions.
Written By: William Finn This may just be me and my love for Spelling Bee, but I find there is something special about every song from the show that makes casting directors look up from behind the table. It may not be a legit soprano song, but very rarely are contemporary musicals written for legit sopranos right now, so it is a good idea to have s...
Written By: David Kirschenbaum Belter alert! Songs which are great for college auditions are hard to come by, but this lesser-known show offers some interesting, age-appropriate material. There are some great acting beats to be found in the piece along with a killer vocal line.
Written By: Alan Menken & Stephen Schwartz From what I consider to be one of the best Disney movie musicals out there, this song is a wonderful substitute for all of the people who decide to sing songs from Tangled at Disney Theatric's auditions. This song is great for showing off comedic and acting chops while still having that specific Disney fee...
Written By: Michael John LaChiusa A heart-wrenching song from a gorgeous musical. This song isn't overdone and for good reason - it's difficult. But if you have the chops to pull it off it can definitely set you apart from everyone else that walks into that room. Just make sure you can tell the story.
Written By: Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx Ah yes, puppet love! It is pretty well known that Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q is overused for auditions so people normally steer clear of the show altogether. Don't do that! When looking for audition material it can actually be super helpful to find songs on the "do not sing" lists, look at the score, and ch...
Written By: Tim Minchin This song probably falls closer to a mezzo/soprano than true soprano song, but I had to include it on the list. There are so many potential 32 and 16-bar cuts which has a full story within them, making them perfect for auditions. When I saw this show a few years ago I had assumed I would be hearing this song everywhere in au...
Written By: Alan Jay Lerner & Frederick Loewe This Lerner and Loewe classic is absolutely gorgeous, and I cannot thank the most recent NYCC Revival enough for bringing it back into my listening rotation. This song has the ability to showcase vocal and acting talent all within the first two bars of the piece.
Written By: Leslie Bricusse, Frank Wildhorn, & Steve Cuden Although this song is written as a duet, it can easily be sung by one person for auditions. Jekyll & Hyde's score is gorgeous, and this song is no exception. On the surface, it may seem like a sappy love song, but it is written in a way that gives it so much more depth.
Written By: James F. Hanley This song not being from a show is actually what makes it so perfect for auditions. When a song is a standalone like this you can change the keys to suit your voice, make slight musical adjustments if necessary, and make choices that are all your own. Most actors dream of creating a role and this song allows you to do th...

- “Are You That Somebody?” by Aaliyah. is one of the best Aaliyah’s soprano songs. Aaliyah had a distinctive, breathy voice, so if you have a similar voice suitable for high octaves, singing this song might be a great idea.
