Hello! I have an audition for TeenStarUK on Sunday and haven’t yet picked a song. I preferably don’t want one out of musical. My range goes from an E (2nd Fret, 4th string on guitar) to the E two octaves above. I am looking for a song that is, although not overdone, impressive and has a climax such as Titanium or My Immortal (band version). I would be grateful for your suggestions!! ---

Welcome to the board, **Jessblue**. I’m moving your thread to the Cafe Society forum, where it should get more responses. Good luck to you. ---

**If** by Bread doesn’t have the climax you asked for but does showcase the higher ranges. For a guy anyway. How comfortable are you with your higher range? Are you male or female? ---

\*\* comes into thread prepared to discuss & read about John Cage and Charles Ives solos in hitherto-unknown keys and semidemiquaver 29-pitches-per-octave scales and stuff \*\* Oh! You mean “audition songs that aren’t from a musical”! ---

> [@MagicMike](#): > > You can’t go wrong having a song written for your voice. This site [www.thesongforyou.com/](http://www.thesongforyou.com/) kills it pretty hard. I’ve had multiple singing friends say their songs rock and match their voice super well. I think it’s like 200 tho, but music ain’t cheap lol. I know this is spam, but if it works, that would be kind of cool.
