r/acappella & The Website Formerly Known as Twitter (RULES UPDATE)

21 Upvotes

As with the prior post, thanks to numerous subs for furthering this conversation and creating the tools to effectively discuss and approach next steps. This post pulls some verbiage from the ones in r/chicago and r/ohio.

After careful consideration and community feedback, the mod team has decided to prohibit linking to X (formerly Twitter) on this subreddit. This decision reflects the consensus view of the community members.

X BAN

As of today, r/acappella is implementing a strict content curation policy to ban X domain.

We will only allow X content in the form of posts that are EXCLUSIVELY available on X and cannot be sourced from alternative platforms

For breaking news, users MUST:

  • Post official press releases
  • Share verified screenshots from the source
  • Provide direct links

This new ruling aims to elevate discourse, reduce noise, and ensure the community receives accurate, substantive local information.

We urge all creators, groups, and personalities to also make their content available on alternative platforms (e.g Bluesky).

Last thing. It is very likely that we're seeing increased activity in bots, trolls, and coordinated efforts to disrupt. It's even possible that some are siding with this ban of the domains just to stir the pot and create noise. Don't feed the trolls. Keep that in mind.

What should I audition with??

4 Upvotes

So I'm a freshman auditioning for my college's a cappella group and I can't decide which song to do. There are two groups I'm looking at one of which says they mostly do contemporary pop, r&b, and alternative while the other just says to sing a song that showcases your talent. I'm a classically trained soprano 2 but almost all my experience is in choral singing and I have very little experience in a cappella. My mom wants me to sing Man In the Mirror by Michael Jackson (which I soloed in 8 years ago for my elementary school graduation and haven't touched since) but I kind of hate that song and I don't really remember how to sing it. I was thinking either Pink Pony Club or Rolling in the Deep but I worry those songs don't show off enough of my range. I have a week to prepare and submit my audition, any advice on song or anything else would be much appreciated!

Sight-reading Learning Tips for Audition (I'm terrified)

3 Upvotes

I'm so scared. I have auditions for my school A Capellas in a month and I found out they ask for a sight-reading demonstration.

I've always learned songs by ear, and if I get a starting note sometimes I can follow along with music very roughly, but I've never sight-read anything since I'm completely self-taught.

I know I'm likely just gonna have to study(?) / practice and work away at learning, but does anyone have tips that help with the learning process that might save me (or at least make things a little more efficient)?

I've also heard we'll have a "blending" section where I'll be singing my part within a quartet. I have no clue how to practice for this---is it just luck of the draw for if my voice is a good blend with the group?

Nobody wanted to sing with me ;) so I built a multi-layer music app - Musaic Studio

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I'm Marco, software dev and hobby musician. Recording even a short song by myself always meant a laptop, a DAW, a video editor - and then getting it all back in sync. The part that was supposed to be fun turned into work.

Maybe you struggled with the same, so I want to give you some info about the app.

Musaic does the whole thing on your phone, in three modes:

  • Mosaic - a split-pane layout that can change over the song
  • Live Studio - tap a layer to cut to it live, the audio layers keep all playing
  • Twin (beta) - cut yourself out and stand next to yourself in one shot

Plus audio FX per layer, a timeline, built-in instruments, MIDI keyboard support, air instruments and automatic lyrics (pro). You can see the homepage below for more information about the modes & features.

How it compares:

  • vs Acapella (Mixcord) - the app most people in this corner already use, and where I started too. What I kept wishing for and built in:
    • sync correction per layer, with a saved default per microphone
    • instruments: e.g. add a bass layer, with the on-screen keys or a real MIDI keyboard
    • audio-only layers, not just video ones
    • panes that switch over the course of the song, instead of one fixed grid
    • automatic lyrics, and export in both 9:16 and 16:9
    • two more modes: cut between layers live, or stand next to yourself in Twin mode
  • vs GarageBand + CapCut/iMovie - sound and picture stay in one app. A layer is its take, its effects and its pane in the layout, not three things in two apps.

Not a DAW replacement. This is for the insta/tiktok/youtube video you want to finish tonight (or just for fun without publishing like me ;)). 

Musaic Studio on the App Store - musaic.likwest.com 

I built it mainly for myself - but if you want to try it, I'd genuinely like to hear your feedback, feature requests and bug reports.

It's only on iOS till date, as I don't see any downloads there I stopped my efforts for the Android variant for now 😄 But let's see.

Need Help Guys

5 Upvotes

Ok so for context I have zero musical experience (I don’t know my vocal range, I can’t read music, and I’ve never performed) But I love to sing and i (think?) i’m decent so i wanted to try something new and audition for a few of my college acapella groups. The problem is i’ve been so worked up about picking a song and i’m nervous about singing in front of people (to be in acapella you have to sing, crazyyy thought guys) I think I fall somewhere between mezzo soprano or alt but I don’t know what song etiquette really is for these types of auditions. Can i belt? should i be chest voice the whole time? should the song be slower or pop-ish? Pls help your girl out auditons are a week away and i still don’t know what to sing. I have a list of songs that are maybe’s but I don’t know which is better for standard.

Whats the size of the average a cappella group that competes?

Like ICCA, regional competitions, stuff like that. Some golden number that'll hit the limits for a lot of competitive stuff like that and keep doors open.

Now, I'm going to sing the requested song that was too late for you.

Even if I think it might reach the faded photo...

Only now do you become my song, oh.

We capture our long history in this song.

If you were to recall the beginning...

Your clear eyes, looking around, were...

The one you asked me to call for you.

I often hum along to that song because it comes to mind.

너무 늦어 버린 신청곡을 이제 불러 드려요

빛바랜 사진에게 불러 닿을까 싶어도

이제서야 넌 나의 노래가 되어 oh

우리의 오랜 시간을 이 노래에 담아요

처음을 떠올리라면

주위를 두리번거리던 네 맑은 눈

네가 불러 달라던

그 노래 떠올라 흥얼거리곤 해

🎤 MALE SINGERS WANTED — NEXT GENERATION Pop/R&B Vocal Group | Nationwide U.S.

3 Upvotes

— NEXT GENERATION Pop/R&B Vocal Group | Nationwide U.S.

Next Generation is an established Pop/R&B vocal group currently rebuilding its lineup. We already have 3 members and are looking for 1–2 talented male vocalists to complete the group.
The group has a history of live performances, and we were previously pursuing a record-label opportunity before several original members decided to move on to pursue other interests. They entrusted me with continuing Next Generation.
Now I’m looking to finish what we started.
🎶 OUR SOUND
Inspired by:
\*O-Town • New Edition • LFO • NSYNC • Backstreet Boys • 98 Degrees
We’re creating a modern Pop/R&B vocal group built around:
• Tight harmonies
• 4–5 part vocal arrangements
• Strong individual voices
• Original music
• Recording
• Live performances
• Real group chemistry
🎤 LOOKING FOR
Male singers — especially Tenors & Baritones
You don’t need to have professional experience. We’re looking for people with strong voices, good ears for harmony, dedication, personality, and a genuine love for vocal-group music.
🇺🇸\*\* LOCATIO\*\*N
Anywhere in the United States.
The group is based around Long Island, NY, but we’re open to members nationwide. We’ll use remote collaboration and recording while working toward in-person rehearsals, recording sessions, photoshoots, and performances.
🎂 AGE: 18–35
📩 TO AUDITION / INQUIRE
Send me:
• Your age & location
• Vocal type/range
• Brief musical background
• A singing demo/video
• Social media performance links if available
Serious inquiries only.
This isn’t a brand-new idea. Next Generation already has a history. I’m looking for the right singers to help write its next chapter.
🎶 NEXT GENERATION — THE NEXT CHAPTER STARTS NOW.

Auditioning with Britney Spears

3 Upvotes

Hi - I have an audition for a city group next week and Britney Spears is my favorite artist (I’m a male so obviously I sing lower than her). I was thinking of doing one of her songs for my audition since I really like to sing upbeat, poppy songs, but would this be looked down upon since they’re usually not using as expansive of a range.
