American Idol Auditions in 2 days! How should I prepare?

  • Hi guys! I will be trying out for the American Idol Auditions in 2 days! Please advice on how I can prepare myself. I am practicing my lyrics and singing. I will be holding a notecard (just for reference) for my lyrics. What else can I do to prepare? What should I eat beforehand? How should I practice my breathing? Anything will help! Thank you!

  • Answer:

    I would try doing what they're doing in the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ8DGCjjPx0 In the different exercises she is practicing, I would go as high and low as you can. Try singing your song at different tempo's and keys. Just make sure you are breathing through your diaphragm, the judges will know if you're breathing through your nose. -=-=- Don't eat or drink any junk food or sodas. Stick with plain water. No juice, alcohol or sugary foods/drinks. Just like it clogs your arteries, it'll clog your throat, making singing a tad difficult. Also, I've heard tepid water is easier on your vocal chords. Just for reference for your audition outift: Don't dress oddly or act oddly, but don't blend in. If you're too outrageous, you'll be who everyone is going to laugh at while sitting at home. So, don't be Bikini Girl/Guy. Also, don't do anything creepy or weird. Like that woman who would scream at herself in the mirror saying, "You're amazing!" -=-=-=- Sorry for all the don'ts, but that's the truth.
