Better Concerts and Music

It’s a lot different choosing songs to practice singing as opposed to choosing songs for a singing audition. When practicing, the idea is to expand your vocal technique and you do this by challenging yourself with songs with broad ranges. It’s important to understand that audition songs should highlight your strengths and accomplishments.

For your singing audition, you need at least one ballad and one up-tempo song.When it’s time to choose your songs you should look for songs with a story and plenty of range. Singers are usually ballad lovers or ballad haters. If you’re a singer who loves ballads it will be hard to choose your favorite. If you are an up-tempo lover, find a ballad that suits you and really dig into it as an actor to find a reason to croon those words, and then the slow tempo won’t seem so eternally long. Choosing the songs will probably be the hardest part of your audition. The songs you choose should be songs that truly show off your talents. Although it’s not easy, it’s a great idea to expand the repertoire of songs you’re comfortable singing.

Plenty of variety will be one of the most important aspects to consider when choosing your list of songs. A little variety gives you an opportunity to show off a well-balanced set of song skills. Song number one can be a song that shows off glorious high notes and song number two may have a sassy belt that shows off your ability to change gears quickly.

You definitely want songs that will show off your strengths and versatility. Always make sure you search for songs that show off high notes once you’ve finished your belt song. Remember when you’re dealing with range, be sure to demonstrate the lowest and highest points that feel comfortable. One thing to remember is you definitely don’t want to have each song bring the same kind of character.

Singing a pop song will probably be one of your stipulations, but don’t be afraid to also choose an early musical theater song, later songs, pop/rock songs or anything else to accompany it. Often singers confine themselves to singing contemporary songs. That’s a great start, but keep on looking for songs that are written in or are meant to portray an earlier time period.

Once you walk through the door everyone will have their eyes on you, even before you sing. Show them how great you look in your outfit and remember that personality and charisma will set you apart from everyone else. Take into account what the character looks like. You want to suggest the character but not dress exactly like the character. It also important to understand that you may not be offered the part straight away. It’s possible you will be asked to come back for a second audition, so be at your best every time.

So now you know how to choose the right song for a singing audition, you might also be interested in perfecting your singing voice. For the highest quality singing training in video format, I highly recommend Per Bristow’s Sing With Freedom. And if you’re struggling to get gigs do yourself a favor and take a look at Social Bandmaker.
