Auditions were just announced today for a musical revue at my school. They'll be taking place next week.

We are required to sing a song a cappella. The director, in his own words, is "looking for us to sell it."

I am a teenage girl, with a range of about F below the staff to B above it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to sing? I'm lost when it comes to a cappella-- what I can sing without the song being completely compromised by the loss of the accompaniment is beyond me.

Thanks!

First of all, you should sing something that you are EXTREMELY comfortable with. Try to pick a song that doesn't have any difficult key changes and doesn't have moments where you would have to pause for a musical interlude...

The thing that really separates the men from the boys in an a capella audition is a person's ability (or inability) to hold the melody of what they are singing without going off pitch.

There is always going to be something lost when you sing something without accompaniment. But you have to do what you can with the situation...

I would pick something that you love to sing and is your "favorite" song...

What are songs you think you sing and act really well?
