How to Pick Songs for Your Voice

Choosing the right song is key to showing off your singing skills and making lasting stage memories. While it’s great to pick a song you enjoy, matching the song to your voice is vital for a stellar show.

Know Your Vocal Range

Finding your vocal range is the first step in picking the right song. Singers should:

• Know their voice type (soprano, alto, tenor, bass)
• Find where they sound best
• Spot when their voice changes from chest to head
• Pick notes they can hold easily Exploring Karaoke Systems: What Makes a High-Quality Setup?

Picking the Perfect Song

Choosing a song is more than just hitting the right notes. Things to think about include:

• Tessitura – where most notes in the song are
• Songs that fit your singing style well
• How long you can sing before taking a breath
• If the song fits your vocal strength

Common Song Choice Errors

Many singers hold themselves back by:

• Picking songs just because they like them
• Trying songs that are too tough
• Not considering the depth and tone needed
• Ignoring the required style

Boost Your Performance With the Right Song

Smart song choices can improve:

• Your confidence in your vocal skills
• How well you sing the song
• The real feel of your performance
• How much the audience enjoys it

Turn good shows into great ones by picking songs that really match your voice, not just ones that are popular or your favorites.
