How to sing Sondheim like SaraBareilles. McHenryJD reports
Photo: Matthew Murphy and Evan Zimmerman for MurphyMade Over the last half-decade, Sara Bareilles, best known as a pop singer-songwriter, has stealthily embraced a life of musical theater. After writing the score for the 2016 Broadway debut of Waitress and later taking on a starring role in the show, Bareilles has been back on the boards this summer starring in a revival of Into the Woods, the Stephen Sondheim–James Lapine dark fairy-tale mélange.
Ease, however, is not something you think of as native to Sondheim. Like much of the musical-theater canon, Into the Woods is written toward a more “legit” style of vocal performance, which, with exceptions, tends to mean more vibrato and a lack of what are considered modern stylings, like riffs, runs, and other forms of melisma . Think of it as more your head voice than your chest.
“I love that kind of interval singing,” Bareilles told me. “I love the melodic dance that gets done that way.” There’s a kind of similarity between “Moments in the Woods” and one of her own songs, like “Gravity,” which contains its own deceptively tricky leaps between registers. That is to say she already had plenty of technical preparation, which allowed her to focus on the acting and see what her voice did naturally.
