Yes! The layering can make a huge impact. But how do you determine who sings which part?
Definitely consider vocal range. Each singer should take a part that shows off their strengths. Also, common songs to consider include “Best Day of My Life!”
How do you integrate instrumentation for the three parts? I’m curious if anyone has tips on arranging guitar or piano to match three vocals.
I’ve found that using simple chords and letting the voices shine is key. What about percussion?

Adding a cajón or light percussion can enhance the sound without overpowering the vocals! Good to keep it balanced.
Songs like “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley are so uplifting and perfect for three-part harmonies! Plus, you can adapt the instrumentation easily.
That’s a classic! But what about more modern songs? Any suggestions?
Consider songs like “Say Something”—the emotional range is great for three. Just manage the dynamics, so it doesn’t get too overwhelming.

For those looking for a humorous approach, why not try parody versions of popular songs? They can be super entertaining with three vocalists!
That’s a fun idea! Are there any specific parodies you recommend?
Have you considered medleys? You can tackle different parts of several songs and it’s a great way to mix genres! Just watch the transitions.
Medleys could be fantastic! Any specific songs that blend well together?
Songs like “Uptown Funk” and “Happy” can flow surprisingly well together! Just keep the key in mind for transitions.
I’ve always found that songs like ‘Shallow’ by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper work perfectly for three singers! Great harmonies!
Definitely agree! ‘Shallow’ is a fantastic choice. I’d also recommend ‘Say Something’ by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera. Such emotional depth and beautiful harmonies.
Have you considered some classic songs? ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’’ by Michael Jackson is a fun one that allows for three unique voices to shine.
Great suggestion! Another classic is ‘Islands in the Stream’ by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. It has some lovely three-part harmonies.
For something more contemporary, I love ‘Like I’m Gonna Lose You’ by Meghan Trainor featuring John Legend. Lots of opportunities for vocal blend!
