Range Question and Finding My Perfect Song

I have two questions.

1. My chest voice extends to the C after middle C. This would make me a mezzo soprano. However, my head voice extends about an octave and three notes more. Does that make me a soprano?


2. I'm a mezzo soprano (/soprano?) and I'm 5'4", white, energetic, happy, bouncy, dark blonde, brown eyed, 15. What would be a few good songs? I want a ballad and an uptempo song. Stuff that is unused.

just to clarify, I want general songs that fit my personality that i have memorized for auditions and ready at any moment. a multipurpose song.

Honestly, I hate to be obtuse, but only you will know when you've found the "perfect" song...for me, it took a couple of years before I found something that I really connected to and worked well...

Not knowing you from Adam, I guess my best advice to you would be to expose yourself to as many musicals as you can. You'll find characters/songs that you connect with, which is a good start. All you have to do is a bit of research. Listen to cast albums, look at compilations like the Soprano Anthology books to get ideas, read scores, etc.

I think that spoon feeding people song suggestions is pointless, since I don't know what their strengths/weaknesses are as an actor/singer and I have no idea who they are.

If you research, you discover far more about yourself than what you could just asking a bunch of people what song suggestions they have.
