What is a good vocal audition song for a bass for a college a cappella group?
-
I'm a college student and will be auditioning for my school's a cappella group. As a bass though, I'm having trouble finding a good solo to audition with. Here's what I need - A song that sounds good low (C2-C4 is my range) -- preferably one that will highlight the low notes. - of the pop, rock, or classic rock genre (or something else if it's solid) - Something upbeat and/or that I can have fun with Any ideas are great, whether they are songs I should sing down the octave or transpose or by girls or whatever. Any help would be great!

Answer:
I suggest you do "Old Man River" from the musical "Showboat." It's a terrific piece for a bass. Even though it's not uptempo, it gives you an opportunity to show how well you can interpret a song. If you do it well, you'll knock the socks off of your listeners. (And, by the way, you can have fun doing it.) :-)

Choose a Muse song !!! Hysteria, Time is Running Out... one of the others. They are quite complex bass riffs =)
