Learn how to pick out the most important moments in your pop song so that you’re telling a compelling story and showing your vocal range.
At first, it can seem like there are infinite options and how do you figure out the best one for your audition.
But, once you know the song forms, you’ll discover that there are really just a few options to pick from and the whole process is really quite simple.
In this show, I’ll dissect the 4 basic song sections - Verse, Chorus, Bridge, and Prechorus – and tell you how they function lyrically and musically in the song.
I’ll also tell you how you can implement them for a 16 bar cut and a 32 bar cut, and we’ll look at specific song examples to illustrate it in action.
My goal is for you to be able to make your own cut of your pop song WITHOUT an accompanist, creating a storytelling arc that features range and hits the bigger vocal moments of the song that listeners expect.
You’ll save loads of coaching hours and money, if you’re able to do this BEFORE your coaching sessions. Then, you can use your time together to double check the cut and finesse any transitions. And then actually WORK on singing the song!
Press play and let’s start creating your ideal pop audition cut!
