Words Fail (Transposed for Female Voice) from Dear Evan Hansen
This recording has been transposed up a diminished fifth from the original (new starting key is Db). It might be more suitable for female singers.

*when you're an alto so you have absolutely no problem with the original key of the song* Whenever someone transposes songs that were originally sung by men up to a key more suitable for the "female voice", I barely ever actually try them because they are always transposed a half-step (maybe even whole step) higher than what my voice can comfortably sing...it would be nice to see some songs transposed to a key more suitable for altos rather than defaulting to soprano. :)

this key is actually more for mezzo than sop (I’m a soprano and this is slightly too low). Most female singers are mezzo soprano so it makes sense for this to be in a key for mezzo rather than alto or soprano. Most of the female voice transpositions are done for this voice type because it is the most common among females. I hope this makes sense :)

@@rebecca___578 The most common vocal type for women is soprano. This is the key that is probably best for under developed singers that really shouldn't be given a vocal classification because they don't have enough training for it to really matter. The ranges are for experienced professionals and come from Italian opera so you could call a lot of alto part singers as mezzo but it wouldn't make sense as most likely their ranges aren't developed and choirs put people in parts based on need first because alto parts are generally harmony and untrained singers struggle. Not only that but most of the alto singers are sopranos and just never developed that part of their voice because they never sang a higher part and never needed too. Also, Alto singers or what is technically contralto because there isn't an official "alto" voice type, is extremely low and rare so most likely an accompaniment channel is going to go with what the average female singer is able to perform.
anyone else just sobbing while singing this???
Im auditioning for a play in my school and i wanted to do this song to audition. The original was too low and i was going to sing it a cappella but i couldnt find the right key. This was perfect. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :)

is there any way you could eventually make time to do "I'm breaking down" from falsettos? Keeping it in A Major is totally fine, I just can't find an instrumental anywhere and I think it would be a fitting audition song for me in a vocal sense and character acting. I would appreciate it to no end. I would be willing to pay you an inconvenience fee for taking the time to do it if necessary! Your accompaniments are absolutely gorgeous and I thank you so much for what you do!!
