Background Vocals in Audition Songs?#1
Posted: 9/8/18 at 6:18am

For a general rule of thumb, should I stray away from songs with small background supporting vocals for auditions for college or for shows?

What I am thinking about is like the "A shadow passed" section in Left Behind from Spring Awakening, or like the background vocals of "I believe" from Book of Mormon. Im not using those as audition songs, plus I Believe is still on the 'Way, but thats the gyst of the type of song I am talking about

Are you considering singing the background vocals or using an accompaniment that has them? I'm not sure I understand your question fully.
