Got personal vocal directing for my audition song... and wow, I got read to filth. Major reality check
So, I had a 1-on-1 directing session with my vocal coach to prep a video for an upcoming audition, right? I picked a song I was usually super confident in. But you guys... I came back with my mental state completely shattered 😭
I chose it because I genuinely thought it matched my vocal tone perfectly. But my coach was so brutally honest. They told me it was the worst possible song choice because it completely buries my main strength (my deep mid-low bass tone) and only highlights my shaky high notes... ugh. They say song selection is like 80% of passing an audition, and I guess I was way too naive about it.
During the session, they completely restructured a new line for me with a totally different song that fits my tone 100%. It really made me realize how different a professional's eye is 👍 Do you guys usually pick your audition songs alone, or do you always get feedback from others? I seriously need an audition song mate ㅠㅠ
Getting read to filth by a vocal coach is a rite of passage, fr 😭 But honestly, look at the bright side! Getting that reality check before the audition is a blessing in disguise. Now you can completely flex that deep mid-low bass tone and blow the judges away! You got this, bestie 🔥
