My daughter has been going to a vocal professor at our local university. She was already a really good singer and she's made huge improvements in just a few weeks. A vocal coach can also teach you how to stand and breathe properly, how to not strain your voice on the higher notes and a lot about stage performance. There are also DVD lessons available. One of the vocalists in my band uses this series and really likes it: http://kentamplinvocalacademy.com/ It's always good to find ways to improve or learn new techniques. I've been playing drums for over 20 years, but I still buy lessons and try to learn new styles to build and diversify my skills.

They are a nice even tempo and have a good range. Taylor Swift songs are overproduced and singing them live won't work well (it's like she never takes a breath through an entire verse). She also doesn't appear to me to have much of a variety in range, which is why I would favor the Colbie tunes. Best of luck with your audition!

I've been singing pretty much all my life and I'm looking for advice on what song to sing for auditions because I want to try out for Season 11. I have a wide voice range, but to get really high or really low I have to warm up a lot. So I'm totally clueless on what to song to sing. I do best with laid back songs. So Colbie Callait or Taylor Swift kinda thing. Hey, I’m Jess and I’m 16.
