First of all I'd just like to say hello to everyone - I don't post a lot around here but I would like say thank you to all of you who have been commenting and helping me out in the showcase, it really means a lot to me, and you are all so talented! :)

Right now I want to get in contact with a producer so that we (hopefully) could work on some songs together.
So I need to choose a nice song to send to him, that I can sing a capella and that manages to showcase my voice effectively...
Do you guys know any songs that work good a capella?
I was considering "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen, but I'm not sure that would work well, what do you guys think?

Thanks in advance for your help :handshake:

If this is a company, as opposed to a friend, they're generally going to listen to less than the first minute before their decision is made.  This is just what I've read and heard in several different places.

Generally, I think you should pick a song you know well enough to hear the music in your head.  And of course, one you do well.  I've found that personally, I couldn't do say Pat Benatar acapella.  It just doesn't feel right, and so it doesn't sound right.  I need that there music.  However Jewel songs and POP I can usually manage, and of course old folk songs....

But as I don't know your genre well enough, I can only speak in generalities. :)

With these old standards, the right singer could give me goosebumps.  I think most of them give you the opporunity to show range, vibrato and other attributes.
