So, what can we do?
Source the correct material
- Finding the appropriate song is an important step in helping you do well in Auditions.
- What kind of Style or Genre is the show based on?
- What vocal range is covered by the part you’re auditioning for?
- What’s the accent or nationality, how does that affect me while singing?
- Choose something relevant to the part you’re auditioning for to give you the best chance of impressing.
Work through the song
- It’s important to learn any song choices thoroughly. Listening to a recording of it repeatedly & analysing it before attempting it,
- Then sing it, find the weak spots and adjust them to build your confidence & let your voice soar.
- What’s the story of the song?
- What’s the vocal style?
- What’s the range and dynamics?
- What vocal modes will I be using?
- How does movement affect my singing in my song choice?
- Do I have to modify my vowels?
I can help you build that confidence, get it into the memory bank and make it feel natural to you, getting rid of the nervous tension to give the best version of you in your audition. I can give you vocal exercises based on the song and range, building your warm up specifically to your song choices. I can create piano tracks for your practice for you to take with you. We’ve got you covered!
