How To Best Audition For American Idol

By Eric James


Realizing that you are hoping to be a full-blown celebrity is not always easy. Struggling to pull yourself from total oblivion and making it big as a singer is one of the most difficult elements of the music industry, and American Idol has provided thousands of men and women with a way to try to attain their ultimate goals. Recognizing that it is very difficult to get into the music business leads a lot of would-be vocalists to try out. The difficulty for the majority of people who audition is to know how to correctly audition for the series, so they don't look like total amateurs.

The first thing you should do is select an appropriate song. This doesn't imply you should run out and learn an entirely new style of singing. You need to find something that is comfortable for you, by a musician who you appreciate, and a song style that you have the ability to perform effectively. For example, many singers are not capable of singing low tones very well. You should make certain the song you choose matches your specific vocal range correctly before committing to sing it for the audition.

Deciding on the amount of makeup and jewelry to put on is important too. While most men will not use makeup, there are rather large numbers of people who start considering some type of facial make-up for the sheer purpose of helping them get noticed during their auditions. This approach will rarely be acknowledged by the judges. More often than not this strategy will backfire and get you removed out of the audition with the judges before you ever start to sing. This is mainly because you are creating a rather questionable impression before ever singing, and typically this is not a good impression.

Dressing is another critical tip - make sure that you dress effectively. You need to find a look that is somewhere between looking uninteresting and looking like you are ready for Halloween. If you have ever watched American Idol, you have no doubt recognized that those who dress incredibly bizarre are almost never sent to Hollywood. The mere appearance of their outfits is often sufficient to distract the Idol judges from their actual singing skills, and doing so will guarantee that you have a short-lived singing profession, also.

In choosing the sound and preparing yourself for the audition, you need to seek out a good vocal trainer to assist you. The money you invest in a vocal teacher will be well worth the price, because a professional will be assisting you get prepared. Many men and women auditioning for American Idol falsely believe that they are great singers without any training. While this may be legitimate for a few of those who audition, the greater part of those who audition need, at least, an amount of instruction to prepare for the audition. Working with a good vocal coach will ensure you get the best preparation feasible, and ensure a professional approach.

Finally, seriously listen to the opinion of people around you before going to audition. American Idol is really looking for the finest singers in the nation; they do not want somebody who sounds just like everyone else, or who can not really sing. Find out where your talents lie in singing, and what your weakness is. Reducing your weakness and making the most of your potential is crucial to the success that you want. Be sure you take the time to truly know how you sound when signing without music before you go to to an audition.

Taking the time to get ready for your audition will be vital. Bundled with a professional appearance, approach, and fun personality, you are sure to make the strong, great impression on the judges that is needed to win American Idol, rather than ending up one of the many butt of jokes from the auditions. Putting the time in for a good game plan will pay off in the end, and you are sure to harvest the benefit in terms of creative suggestions from the judges.
