A cappella Group Auditions
Hey, so I want to try out for an a cappella group at my school. I really want to be in an a cappella group, but they're extremely competitive. So, I'd like to pick a good song for my audition. Does anyone have any recommendations of songs that would be really good for an audition? A song that would "wow" the people judging the auditions?... lol
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Try "lifting" the following songs arranged for a-cappella groups. You can't go wrong The Nylons are the most famous a-cappella group in the world.
The first is a Bruce Springsteen cover of "FIRE"

The second selection "WILDFIRE" [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
is one where you can rock out but also show that you have the chops for falsetto. It's a complicated arrangement that looks easy but isn't. If you can
nail it do it.
The next selection is an a-cappella standard "KISS HIM GOODBYE" that everyone does.

For this one take the lyrics and arrange it as though you were a baritone singer who can also do bass and vocal percussion.
Doing these numbers shows off your range. if you add your own take on the arrangements it shows them you have that ability too which is often more important than just being another vocalist or group singing a standard the exact same way it was written. Being fresh is vital with cover tunes.

There is a great christmas song that is sung in german called In Dulci Jubilo, you can find clips of the song on Utube. This is a song that is not only used for college choirs but it is also sung in a different language. If you really want the wow the judges you want to pick something that is not to difficult but it hard to pronounce. They won't be looking at the difficulty of the piece, they look at how you present it and if you have the right passion to present even the easiest songs. You sing this song and you will not only surprise them with your talent of singing but also your intiative to attempt to sing a song in a different language.
