hiya guys. I don't know if this has ever been posted before, but I didn't feel like looking... so... yeah. ok, I am 'auditioning' for this band...but not in person. they would like a sample of my voice, you know like an audition tape. thing is, I don't know where to start! I am totally new to this auditioning shit, and don't know what the fuck to do. oh yeah, I do not have a microphone attached to my computer. Should I just sing like accapella (sp?). anybody have any auditioning tips for a beginner??

What songs do you usually sing well? Who do you usually sing with? Once you've answered these questions for yourself, record your best songs.
No, I wouldn't just sing a capella into a computer microphone.
YES!
1. why do you have to sing into a tape and not in person?
Do these guys live across the country or something that you can't go audition for them in person? That is probably the dumbest way I have ever heard to audition a singer....or anybody for that matter....I know its pretty common....but its stupid. We were looking for a bass player for over a year (we finally found one), but if we picked them souly on their playing capabilities...we would have been kicking ourselves in the end. Even Metallica (when they found Jason Newstead) did live auditions. To me, music is all about chemistry....and that only happens in a live situation. And what about image? Picture 4 metalheads with leather on....and they pick a guy to play with them based on a tape, only when he shows up he is dressed like some country star with a cowboy hat and boots.....wouldn't that seem a little strange to you?....hahaha *mental image*
Thats my opinion about it all anyways....hope everything all works out for you.
