yeah my school's show choir


Question Posted Monday August 14 2006, 2:24 pm

I'm 16/f and not all that great at singing. I'm okay but I want to get better. I want to try out for my school's show choir, and the try outs are early this year like in the next few weeks. I need some good tips on what to do, how to sound better. Anything from anyone who knows what they are talking about will be helpful.

well I'm a music major, but I get really nervous during auditions, the best thing to do is pick a simple song, one you are comfortable with and something that you feel confident with. Show them your personality and be willing to do anything, work hard. Smile, be proffesional, and remember that each audition only helps you get better. Oh yeah make sure you drink lots of water. I hope that helped.

I'm not much of a singer to be honest; I just work with a lot of them. Singing wise, it's best to get the opinion of someone who can actually hear you sing. If you know anyone who is already in the choir, or the sort of songs they sung last year, you could use that to help you choose your songs and the way you approach them. You don't need to dazzle a choirmaster with your range. If your voice isn't too well trained, just pick a simpler song and focus on making the notes clear and true.

For a day or two before your audition, try to stay away from dairy products, ice cream, yogurt and the such. They create more mucus in the throat and muddle sound. Tea is the exact opposite and is very good for your throat, opens everything up and

Remember that choirmasters aren't looking for the best singers necessarily. They are looking for a voice that will meld well with the rest of the choir and a singer who is keen and pays attention. So be prepared, dress nicely, and smile.

Best of luck.
