  • Question
    How do I remember the words to a song?

    It basically just comes down to practice. If you are a fast learner, then look over the lyrics a few times, sing the song alone once or twice, and you should be able to get the lyrics into your head. If not, try printing out the lyrics or saving them to your phone, then looking them over and singing the song whenever you can. After a while, you can start singing without the lyrics and only looking back at them when you forget that one tricky part. Eventually, you'll remember all the words on your own.

    I'm auditioning for The Voice and I don't want to forget the lyrics, how can I control my fear?
    Community Answer
    Practice as much as you can and imagine that you are auditioning on the actual day. Think about what you would like to show them in order to be selected. Try your best to forget about your fear and just show them what you can do. If you're adequately prepared, it's very unlikely you'll forget the lyrics.

  • Question
    How do I sing a break up song?
    Community Answer
    If you want to perform an emotional song, you have to be emotional. Express yourself through the lyrics and try to think about them while you're singing. Equally, you have to get the vibe of the song. Listen to covers of the song to see variations that could inspire you. Decide where you should be powerful and assertive and where you should step back and be sensitive, lowering the intensity of your voice. Try to draw from feelings you have felt that are similar to those the artist is expressing.
  • Question

    Tightrope has a good show of vocal range, as does A Million Dreams. If you can do a soprano belt, show it off in either This Is Me or The Greatest Show.
