Gravity-possible spring awakening audition

This is "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles. I'm thinking about using this (although a video instead of the garage band version shown here) as a video audition for Spring Awakening. Comments and/or *constructive* criticism. Is this even a good song to use? I'm not very good with Garage Band, so please don't let that factor in. The pic is what I guess I'll use as a headshot (took it on timer). Got the brilliant background from sebastiano555!

wow where did you get the background track to it?!

[MusicalMedicine]

sebastiano555 has it up on his channel..he's got a lot of songs there and is a great pianist!~

I would recommend using less notes per bar. This is supposed to be a very simple and gorgeous song.. You're making it a little too airy with note flair.

You turned, "Keeping me down" to "Keeping me doowyeah." Yeahs/Oohs/Aahs are unattractive in a simple song, no matter how pretty they are meant to sound.

Your voice sounds very nice, but you sound consistently off from the background music, but both early and late. So make sure you keep in line with the tempo.

This sounds more like a Glinda from Wicked

yea i must agree the tempo is not exactly on par

[alrodrig423]

Yeah. Playasport is drunk or something. You're phrasing is really nice and doesn't seem off at all. Just cause you're not singing right on the beat doesn't mean you're off. I love it and I love your voice! I only wish I could have sung with you in the Amateurs. But I was years too late.

I love this song. I wish I could sing it like you. I'm green with envy! Good Luck.

You are SO not off. You are phrasing it beautifully. I think this is a great audition piece for ya. Goooooood luck!!!!!!!
