Hey!!! I'm Alex Heinen, an entirely dorky musical theater lover.
I learned to sing by listening to Audra McDonald. I'm working on getting my voice to sound better, but it's a process! I hope to start taking regular lessons soon. I did take a semester of singing lessons in college. So I've had them, just not a lot of them:)

Insults will be deleted immediately.

All videos after 10/12/07 are sung LIVE Videos before 10/12/07: if the audio is good quality, it's probably me lip-syncing to my own voice.
About Me:
 
I'm a HUGE Sondheim fan (I even subscribe to the magazine!!). My two favorite shows are Sunday in the Park With George and Passion, though my love is not exclusive to life changing-make you think-intelligent shows. I love my silly shows too *Hearts Reefer Madness* My two favorite Broadway performers are Audra McDonald and Donna Murphy. I also think Meryl Streep is amazing, but so does everyone but Katherine Hepburn.

Requests- I'm putting this back up so I can stare at it and actually tackle some of these! I'm not doing them in any particular order, so ya never know what will pop up next!

You're great talent. I found you through Sweeney Todd's Johanna. At first I was a bit disappointed, that it's not the original...but....I like your version way more !!!

Ok, here's a random request... get a friend and sing "Stepsisters' Lament" from Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella ;) Or "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?", and "In My Own Little Corner"... :) Those would be fun to see :)

Hey Alex! If Sunday in the Park with George is one of your favorite shows (it's definitley mine) I REALLY think you should sing something from it :) Like the title song, Everybody Loves Louis, or we could do Move On together :)

you continue to impress me!! so i have a request of a song that i think you would do wonderful justice to. (it being one of my favorite songs might be part of my motive too, lol) the song is "A Change in Me" from beauty and the beast. it's so beautiful and i love all the emotion oyu put into you music. i don't know if you've already recorded it, but if not, i would love to hear you sing it someday. keep being amazing!!!

Your voice is so pure! It makes me think of disney princesses on broadway =]

So, I'm very very soon auditioning for colleges for musical theater, and right now I'm singing "My Strongest Suit" from Aida and "Some Things were Meant to be" from Little Women. I really want my upbeat song to be alto-y and belty and my ballad to be extremely emotional and mezzo-soprano.
Not to bother you, but I would LOVE to hear your suggestions! I'm quite content about singing Strongest Suit, but am not sure I want to sing the song for little women. If you have any comments or suggestions on a good soprano ballad that is not overused it would be much appreciated! thank youuuu!
keep up the amazing work =]
