What is a good song to sing for an audition?

Answer 1

Pick a song that will show off your voice.

It depends on what type of voice you have but;

Bound to you: Christina Aguilera

Missing you: First Lady

Jar of hearts: Christina Perri

A thousand miles: Vanessa Carlton

Drop in the ocean: Ron Pope

Crawl: Chris Brown

The one that got away: Katy Perry

Man in the mirror: Michael Jackson

Bleeding love: Leona Lewis

Answer 2

Is it always best to sing a song you are familiar with and enjoy listening to. A common song, well-known and liked by your friends. Remember to be calm and don't be nervous. Even if you are nervous, try to keep it undercover. Sing confidently and loudly. (They don't want somebody they can't hear!) Look like you think you are great and if you make a mistake, don't pull a face, just carry on as if you hadn't made a mistake.

Answer 3

It depends on your vocal range. If you pick a song with extremely high notes, than obviously that's not the song you should be singing. And vice versa. Unless you change the key, which is not a bad idea. It shows originality.

A lot of people seem to recomment theatre songs, but that's not what I would go for. I would shoot for more of a power-house song that shows impressive strength in vocals, such as a Paramore song (if you are able).

Good luck!

Answer 4

Somewhere over the rainbow shows off good vocal skills if you can pull it off. Modern, 'in' songs aren't that good as a lot of people would have sung them recently, raising the bar very high. Purple rain is an amazing song, but not many people find it easy. I hope that your audition goes well, just remember to smile during your peice and be confident, but not arrogant!

Answer 5

It depends on the show. If it is something classic, such as Music Man, you would want to sing a more unique song, like Not for the Life of Me from Thoroughly Modern Millie. If it is something more unique, like CATS, you might want to be singing a common song, such as Popular from Wicked. It also depends on how old you are. You wouldn't want to be singing It's a Hard Knock Life (Annie) for a show like Titanic. If you are about 6-10 you would want to be singing songs like Tomorrow, Be Kind to Your Parents, or Gary, Indiana. If you are anywhere from 10-14 you would want to sing songs like Part of Your World, Not for the Life of Me, or My New Philosophy. If you are 14-20 you would want to sing songs like Gimme Gimme, Popular, or I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here. If you are 20+ you could sing songs like Seventy-Six Trombones, Goodnight My Someone, Ya Got Trouble, Poor Unfortunate Souls, Little Girls, Something was Missing, or Jimmy.

Answer 6

Ok well it depends on your voice scale range. If your high notes, sing a song from Justin Beiber. If your low notes, sing The Underdogs. If your in the middle,( me and most people ), sing a chromatic Birthday Song.

• any thing by Justin Bieber (baby ft. ludia if your willing)

Answer 8

It depends what you are auditioning for. If it is for American Idol, just sing something that you can sing particularly well. It it's for a musical play, then sing something from that musical.



test your vocal range, don't strain your voice!, think of all the popular songs andn artists that you like, see if there is one you are comfortable with singing. practise on your own to build up confidence, then in front of family and friends. now you are able to preform in front of a larger crowd!

Answer 9

It usually depends on the audition but in general it should be a song you're familiar with. A song that showcases your vocal range and ability, that you're comfortable with. DO NOT, under any circumstances unless required, PICK CURRENT SONGS TO USE FOR AUDITIONING.
