What To Do In Your American Idol Preparation

By Ruthie Calderon


When you have a talent you can show off to the world, like singing, then you better join competitions. This is the best way for you to scream to the world that you are talented. This is also a way for you to earn prizes and prestige. If you prepare well for any competition, you can surely bag the grand prize win anytime.

There are competitions that are even televised nationwide. If that is the case, then you have to prepare even better. For your American Idol preparation, there are things that you must bear in mind. Here are some of the tips and checklists that you have to pay close attention to when preparing for this particular competition.

First, you better find good songs you can use for the audition. Most of the time, you will be required to sing the chorus. If that is the case, then you have to find ones that have good chorus in them. The audition is not the time for you to exercise subtlety. As much as possible, you want to sing those hit songs that will let people love you.

You must practice the song you have chosen. Make sure to do so with accompaniment. Even if you are going to audition without the accompaniment, you must learn to sing the song with the accompaniment. If you do not do so, you will definitely go off-key when you go acapella.

When you are already familiar with the song with its accompaniment, it is now required of you to sing without it. Just like how it is required of you to sing with the accompaniment so that you can get used to the song, practicing singing without the accompaniment helps you get used to the song. It is helpful.

You better practice singing this song right in front of your mirror. You can see how you act as well as your facial expression when you sing your song choice in front of the mirror. It should be easy for you to be conscious of your performance and visual points when you practice the song in front of a mirror.

Take out your camcorder and practice singing while filming yourself. That way, you can see how you perform in front of the camera. It should also be easier for you to adjust your performance, visual, and vocal points according to the criteria when you see yourself and how you perform on film. Use this wisely.

Try to practice your songs in front of an audience. It may just be your family or the guests you invite over your house during a party. Participating in front of an audience is a good thing because you get used to the ambiance when there are others listening to you sing. Live performances are definitely good for practice.

Even if you are sleeping, you should practice the songs you want to sing. At times, auditioning might not mean that you get to sing exactly on that day. There are times when you have to wait for a long time before you can actually stand in front of the judges. Practicing how and what to sing when sleeping should help.
