I've written a chord chart for this. If you'd like a copy, please message me with your email address, the name of the song (please mention "transposed") and that you're asking for a chord chart. Thanks!

Me singing this song: This isn't high at all it's perfect with my range, awesome
Me when "All I ever do is run" comes on: ...What
go to head voice it will help you a lot.You definitely cant belt the song the whole way through, especially the second half.
Madelyn Youngren yes! and mixing helps too
I have a high range but the jump is like... wow
Jeez, right?? Even though I'm a sop trying to float that while crying is a fat chance
Just having a mental breakdown and singing the second part of this song over & over again in my car. I'm FINE.
Are you doing better? You wanna talk
A lil’ Daisy I love people like you, thank you
Elisabeth Lowder thanks 🙂 just wondering. I know I’m half a year late but I still hope you’re doing okay Mabel.
the timing in the last bit is so hard to get down damn
Yes, it's not the easiest song to do from a recording. In a perfect world, I'd be the pianist live and I'd just follow my singer!
holy crap, thank you so much for this!!! it's actually strangely easier to get emotional when it's more in my range bahaha this is MUCH appreciated!!! you're amazing
IaMnOdEcOy I feel the same way. Glad you are getting your chance!
LITERALLY was just thinking the same thing lol
It’s so true!
anyone else just sobbing while singing this???
3:38
This is definitely not for an audtition guys
Edit: this is me, a year later, using the same song again for an audition :D
Did it go well?
Did I go good??
It
@@elisabethaddiebates4439 wow its been a year since i posted this comment. And yeah it went well! I made it into my adv. Drama class but i wasnt able to be in thzt class due to covid
i’m using this for an audition too!!
*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. :)
I'm a really low alto and will a bit of work with my singing teacher this key was great. It was a challenge but without challenging myself I can't improve
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 :)
FACTS
@@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.
*When you’re a girl but have a boy’s voice*
*Sings normal song comfortably*
*Isn’t able to sing this **_female_** version*

SAMMEE
wish that was me 😂😂😭
Same.
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!! :)
does anyone else just relate so deeply to this song, but not in the way it is originally intended?
every time i see the words "words fail" all I can think about is shrek.
like I'm sorry but its shrek.
its the being an iconic and quotable musical for me.
Dude, I always start crying when I get to the belting part at the end. This musical fucks me up.
3:02
just saving for myself
you are honestly a blessing to this world ♡
That is very kind.
this track made me realize that Db Major is my favourite key to sing in.
Ah, my alto ass is crying
this is perfection
That's very nice. Thank you!!
i tried singing i started crying while singing and now im having an emotional breakdown because that is what dear evan hansen does to me makes me cry
as a dude this was fun singing the entire thing in my head voice/mix and then the end i just go "ahh uahhh ever dooOO"
just me belting this and practicing how to be sad alone in my basement...so.....thank you lol
When the message is problematic but the music slap
AAAHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm kinda having trouble with the beginning but once I get further in I get the hang of it.
Rachael Baldwin Practice and you'll get it eventually. Have fun!
Not sure whether this will help, but if the problem is that you can't find the starting note, it's Ab3 :)
(Also, cool profile pic. I'm obsessed with Heathers the musical lol)
Awesome video,Keep it up!
it's so hard not to cry while singing this
I always do and make it part of the performance 😂
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
You're welcome!
Do you think you could do a transposed version of "The Games I Play" for the female voice from FALSETTOS? It is one on my favorite songs but I can never sing it because it either is too high or too low
Sarah V ugh sammmee
Ok...it's not at the top of my list, but I'll check it out!
PLEASE i want to use it for a college audition of my and knowing what key to sing would REALLy help
I have the range of an alto 1 to a soprano 1 and this song fits so perfect in my register I’m obsessed
Do freeze your brain from Heathers
Can you do 'You Will Be Found' again, but transposed for female voices?
Lots of requests for this. What if I transposed the solo part, but left the rest of it in the same key?
Thank you so much! THIS HAS MADE MY DAY YOU ARE AN ANGEL!!!
Glad to hear it. You're welcome!
That “see the worst of me” is REALLY HIGH (IMO)
Yeeesssss! You Rock! Thank you!
😎
BrianaBrooks7 I saw your cover!! I loved it xo
Is Anastasia anywhere in this channel's future 😭
Hmm...I haven't listened to any of the new musical, only the animated film. Maybe!
Hi Jess, thank you so much for your videos! What a gift you have!
Can you PLEASE do songs from Be More Chill? :3
Yesss!!!
do you think you could make a short tutorial for the beginning of the song like you did for the bridge of waving through a window? it sounds lovely :) xxx
Sydney McKee yeah I'm having trouble finding the pitches also
Thank you so much oml
Can you do dust and ashes from the great comet transposed for female voice please? Thanks!
I think that one would work nicely. Give me some time to learn it!
Theatre Piano Accompaniments by Jess Modaff Thanks again!
I love this version so much! Thanks so much for making this. Any chance you'd wanna do a female version of Corner of the sky from Pippin if you have time?
my throat was comfortable at the verses I was screeching at the chorus 😭
That "All I ever do is run" took me out 💀😅🙃
Hey, this is beautiful, I'm just having trouble finding the first note. Do you happen to know what it is? Thank you so much for this!
Hailey Knight it starts with "I" on an Aflat
Hailey Knight the starting note is G#
Annie Walker do you know what the note is for the note for the key change for “this is just a sad invention”
Shae Sucks at Life it’s a b natural :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS 💙
I never meant to make it such a mess
I never thought that it would go this far
So I just stand here sorry
Searching for something to say
Something to say
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
I guess I thought I could be part of this
I never had this kind of thing before
I never had that perfect girl
Who somehow could see the good part of me
I never had the dad who stuck it out
No corny jokes or baseball gloves
No mom who just was there
'Cause mom was all that she had to be
That's not a worthy explanation
I know there is none
Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
And it's right there, right there, right there
In front of you
And you want to believe it's true
So you make it true
And you think maybe everybody wants it
And needs it, a little bit too
This was just a sad invention
It wasn't real, I know
But we were happy
I guess I couldn't let that go
I guess I couldn't give that up
I guess I wanted to believe
'Cause if I just believe
Then I don't have to see what's really there
No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts
Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
And no one gets to look at it
No, no one can really see
'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
I never let them see the worst of me
'Cause what if everyone saw?
What if everyone knew?
Would they like what they saw?
Or would they hate it too?
Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
All I ever do is run
So how do I step in
Step into the sun?
Step into the sun
I think I have a low voice then I do this and it sounds perfect
I love it
Love it, thanks
This is incredible! I love this peace and it is much easier to be emotional and powerful in this key! Can you please send me the sheet music?
If you can , could you please do I could be Jewish for you by Nikko benson
this has made my day ❤
Glad to hear it!
I love this song
Could you do "Dust and Ashes" from The Great Comet for female singers?
Working on it!
could you maybe do a female instrumental for if i didn't believe in you from the last five years? thanks! ♡
THAT is a GREAT idea! I love that song.
+Theatre Piano Accompaniments by Jess Modaff ahhh it's such a fantastic showww
I don't know if it's doable but could you do a backing track for anybody have a map from DEH?
Yeah. I am having a hard time making that song sound good with just piano. Needs a guitar or drum set. Eventually I plan to get a good take of this and post it on my channel!
How do we message you to get the chords?
Hi there!! This is absolutely beautiful!! I don't know how to message you on UA-cam, but is there any way you could specify how to send the chord chart for this transposed version?
It would be super helpful, and thanks again..
This is great for baritones too!
Hi! I love this arrangement SO much. Can I ask what did you use to record it? Thank you!
Hi! I love this backtrack so much, would it be all right if I used it for a cover? I'll provide a link to the original and give credit when uploaded. Thank you!!
I really like this version, could you please send me the sheets? It’s just for my personal singing lessons and full credits to you!
I got to say I love the fact that people transpose these but I just can’t do the female key. Like my voice is a bit to high for the male but all the female keys lie directly in my break. Ughhhh😫😫
bro I can't even hit the high notes on the original
I've sung it too many times my foster parents have got really annoyed with me
PLEASE do "I Push up My Glasses" by Nikko Benson!!!!!
Thank you soooo much
These are so great! Cold you please do Dust and Ashes from The Great Curtain
what’s the starting note for “this is just a sad invention”
I think it's a G#
Can I use this for a vocal cover? Tysm!!
So is there a key change on the waving through a window part or is it just a weird transition
Would you mind if I used this for a cover? I’ll make sure to credit you of course!
this made my life
Ok I can't get through this song without crying like I can't finish it lol
Hi! I’m not sure if this channel is still active but may I have the sheet music to this rendition?
OMG This is amazing on so many levels thank you so much. If you're able to, would you be able to send me the score for this and waving through a window? My school has an annual showcase and I'd love the chance to perform both of these ❤️❤️❤️
Erin Dawson Thank you, Erin! I don't have the scores for either - learned them by ear. Best to you.
Theatre Piano Accompaniments by Jess Modaff that's no problem! You have such an amazing talent.
PLEASE DO ME & THE SKY FROM COME FROM AWAY PLEASE!!!!
Meg Brokenshire YES YES YES YES PLS PLS PLS PLS
I am obsessed with the show and there are NO instrumentals from that show!!
I found ONE karaoke for Me & The Sky...but it was only the first verse and the first chorus. It was a good karaoke, too :( They just want to make money off it so they aren't releasing the whole thing. GRR
I emailed them to try and get a copy and I kid you not it was the equivalent of 35$. Like what?!
Meg Brokenshire WTFFFF. I wish they would just support other artists. I know it's hard not to be compensated all the time but geez. It's one song and they'd get the reach to their channel because SO MANY PEOPLE WANT IT!
Could you send me a copy of the sheet music to this, or the chords? Thanks!!
Do you have a transposed version of the sheet music to this song? That would be really helpful, Thanks!
I really want to record a cover of this but I’m so scared. Maybe the boredom of quarantine will encourage me😂
Hi! I was hoping to sing this song at a cabaret I am performing at but I can't find the sheet music for it in this key if you could post it somewhere that would be amazing!
hey is there any way you would be able to write out more than just a chord chart? i’d be willing to pay, i really need this key in sheet music
I love this! Please do me and the sky from come from away if you can find the time! You're awesome!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! Would it be alright if I used this for a school showcase performance??
Miss Caker Baker Sure ☺
3:05
Well shit this is better than most female songs I've sang
I was wondering if I could use this for a cover? I will credit you.
could you do You Gotta Die Sometime from Falsettos???
Well done!!! Would it be okay if I used this is a video I would give you credit! This is one of my favorite songs ever!!!
Emily Gerak sure!

✨🙏✨

3:55 climax
