I have an audition for rent coming up in three weeks or so and need help choosing a song because i'm stumped :/. I'm a legit soprano and love to show that off in auditions, i can belt pretty easily, and would rather not do an up tempo song because i have to sing it acapella. thank you so much!

If its acapella, uptempo might be better actually. Depending on the song, ballads can sometimes drag out.....

And do you have any belty songs that you like to sing? It's hard to give suggestions of songs without knowing you personally. But if there's any songs that you love belting out if you're alone or something, and its in your singing and age range, then go for it!

The most important aspect of an audition song would be that it reflects what YOU like and what you ARE like. (And check out newmusicaltheatre.com for some contemporary stuff - they have a really helpful search thing for voice range, etc.)

Good luck!

BAM!

Go here.

Also, "legit soprano" and "pretty easily" for belting... Don't go in there and try and high belt or belt if you can't nail it or if you can't do it without any strain. If you haven't been taught how to belt, DON'T do it.
i like to do songs that actually show off the character that i would like to be, so i would either choose a song fom the musical the character sings, or just choose a song that really shows you being the character. for example, maybe if you wanted to be Mimi you could sing "without you" ? idk, just give it some thought and i bet you will do great! :)
Never ever sing a song from the show unless the casting directors say that you can, but yes, do a song that you comfortable with and that shows you, not the character.
