How to Prepare a Song for a School Musical if You Can't Sing
A musical can be daunting. Bucking up the courage to try out can be hard, especially if you're not a strong singer.
Steps
-
If you have a limited vocal range, don't choose a difficult song. A simple, yet well performed song will far outweigh a poorly done challenging song. Consider songs from Disney movies for easy singing.
-
Look up Covers. Once you've chosen your audition piece, look up video covers on YouTube. Replicating a professional singer's sound along with the added auto tune and editing is near impossible. Watching other artists perform the piece will give you a more attainable view of how to sing the song.
-
Talk Sing. This technique is widely used on Broadway. It's the usage of speech with rhythm and slight vocal changes. It makes a song much easier to sing. A good example of this technique is the song "Popular" from the musical Wicked.
-
Record Yourself. Sing your song while recording, play back and listen for things you like and don't like, try to improve.
-
Be Confident. It's audition time, you must be confident, but not cocky.
-
Make sure to sing loudly, and clear. Don't scream/shout but don't let your voice get lost in the space between the directors and yourself. The worst sound is of someone who is restraining their voice.
Tips
- Have fun, put character into your song.
- Put your own flare into the song
Warnings
- Don't push for those high/low notes if you know you can't make it. It will end in disaster.
