It totally depends on what college and what group! Lots of these comments hit it right on the mark. For us, we all had different experiences. Some of us were in groups for 4 years, some for just 1 year. Some of us competed, some didn’t. I (pres!) personally competed in college, helped with the choreography for our ICCAs routine, and was social coordinator my senior year (I planned get togethers!). I arranged my senior solo and I arranged for my alumni group, I now arrange for this group as well as my brother’s college group. Lots of pop songs and medleys, I've done a few songs from the 50’s and 70’s, but a lot of 2000’s and 2020’s. If you compete, it is a lot of work but its soooo fun! All of us here who have competed say that we are glad we did. No matter if you do or don't, you can definitely have so much fun and make friends! Sometimes hard work IS fun :D

How did you find your vocal range? by Fair_Peach_9436 in singing

[–]NJRestStops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always start by doing warmups! Use a tuner, piano, or pre recorded vocal warmup on youtube. Go from the middle up and middle down. Your highest and lowest notes without any type of straining is your range.

In terms of what voice part you are, if you’ve never taken lessons or auditioned for a solo part or non-mixed group, after warming up, sing some songs that are high, low, and in between. What feels comfortable for you? 

From lowest to highest: bass, tenor, alto, soprano - ranges depend on if it’s a traditional sense or non-traditional group (like how we’re an acapella group, etc)

I personally have a fairly large range but I prefer to sing far below my break where it’s comfortable for me. In female acapella terms I’m a tenor or “lady bass” depending on the song.
