Assignment Name: Female Vocal Chart
Date Taken: February 9, 2024

ASSIGNMENT DETAILS:

— Female Vocal Chart

Create a vocal chart for the three female characters (listed below) in the musical you chose in the previous unit.

• Carousel: Julie, Carrie, Nettie & Nellie (from South Pacific)
• Into the Woods: Rapunzel, Cinderella, Witch & Baker’s Wife
• A Little Night Music: Anne, Petra, Charlotte & Desiree
• Les Misérables: Cosette, Éponine, Madame Thénardier & Fantine
• West Side Story: Maria, Anita & Cunegonde (from Candide)

Explore two or three songs that each character sings and write a few words in response to the following questions. Focus on what differentiates the voice types of each character:

• Compare the ranges and tessituras for each voice type.
• What kinds of colors can you identify for each?
• What kinds of musical uses does the composer have for each?
• Do the differences in range reflect the dramatic/comedic structure of the show? If so, how?
• Are there differences in the vocal/musical writing between comedic and dramatic characters? If so, what are they?
• What kinds of general guidelines can you glean from these models?
o Is there a voice that does not fit into one of the types?
o If so, what is different?
• Are there any unconventional uses for female voices you found? If so, what are they?
• What kinds of other observations can you make about female voice types?
