Members xtianmind Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 I am audition to X-Factor through their online auditions. I have a mid range, baritone, tenor 2 voice. I want a song that can show off my voice, plus one that is interesting for the producers to watch. I want to market myself as a pop singer. What song would you recommend?

Members ido1957 Posted April 16, 2012 Members Share Posted April 16, 2012 The song should be one you know by heart and that you can sing with no effort and lots of strength. When is the audition? If it's too soon you may not be able to learn one we suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last day to submit my audition is on 4/27 so I have time to learn the song.https://auditions.thexfactorusa.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chamcham Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 What is your musical background? How long have you been singing? Perfecting a new song in 10 days is not easy. Anyway, Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Good luck. I've been singing since I've been 16. I joined choir then. And was in it till I was 18. Then I joined singing classes at community college after that for about 2 years. Now I am 22, and just do vocal warm-ups, but haven't taken a lesson recently. I've been performing live in bands since I've been 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators davie Posted April 17, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2012 Range isn't the only thing you have to consider. You have to take into account your singing style and vocal timbre. You want to make sure your singing compliments the song you choose. There's plenty of song choices, popular ones and not so popular ones. You have to choose something that people can relate to and also something not overdone if you want to set yourself apart from the rest. There's probably a thousand people auctioning with the song "You Raise Me Up"... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
