GUITAR KARAOKE MUSIC
What best to perform for audition for Berklee Music (voice)??
So my audition is next friday, and the interview the day before that. I have training and experience in more classical music. But out side of all that school stuff, Im into contemporary music, more rock/pop (not mush jazz exp.) I have written some songs with simple accompaniment and as a hobby have been recording songs (also reaarangements of songs with acoustic guitar) too. I also dabble into making music with programs like guitar pro.
The problem is I have 15 mintues, and chance to do ONE piece of music. I don’t really know what to do, a classical piece, or contemporary piece of music. I know I will do fine with classical, but style wise I like contemporay more. I can’ really say which one im better at, because they are too different. I’ve won karaoke contest and performed live with my acoustic guitar on stage, and it was something I really enjoyed. Another problem is, I am wondering if I should bring in a CD of a few songs I wrote too?
So any suggestions? ^__^;;
Thanks!
First of all, the audition you’re going to is probably going to be packed so none of the judges will have time to listen to your CD. You may want to take it with you to your interview as supporting material. As for the singing audition, choose the song that you do best which fits the kind of program you are trying to get into. If the program is more oriented towards opera / classical / art song type singing, don’t sing a pop/rock tune. If you are going for the vocal jazz program then do a musical theatre or pop tune. Many auditionees make the mistake of not finding out what the school wants before they audition. Do your “homework” ahead of time so you’ll get every consideration. Good luck.
