How to unlock the Vocals Showmanship achievement in Rock Band 3 - Definitive Guide

This achievement can be done on any difficulty so if you are not familiar with singing you can play on easy.

I would suggest a long song for this such as Roundabout, which is on the disk.

To earn overdrive, hit a section that is glowing yellow perfectly, this will then accumulate as it does on other instruments. Once the overdrive bar is half full, you can activate overdrive by making a sound into the microphone when the background of the vocal track becomes yellow. With the February update, you can now also press the back button to activate overdrive but this can only be done at times when you can normally activate it. Do this 4 times and the achievement will be yours!

Don't forget that you can now use the 'BACK' button on your controller to activate overdrive. Yay!

Also, if you imported Rock Band 2, Give It Away on Hard or lower is nothing but talking and has plenty of overdrive for the achievement. I got both this and Tambourine Master (it has an extremely easy tambourine part) on it in the same go.

Plush.

On Hard.

Simply put, this song is an easy sing and you can get 4 Phrases very quickly. It's not too long and it's pretty simple to sing.

If you still have any of the old Rock Band 2 Free Exports, play Desperate Times, Desperate Measures on Hard. Shouldn't be too tough with all of the talkies.

I could barely do this, I don't understand the concept of signing and can fail most songs, even on easy. Most of this is talkie, but there are a few parts where you have to keep the arrow lined up. I didn't get the 4th overdrive until at the end of the song.

You can do this on almost any song (unless it's a really short song). Just try to activate the OD as soon as you get 50% on your bar.

This is not terribly hard. You should get it on the way to Vocal Apprentice, but if you don’t all you really need to do is play a song of reasonable length on Easy and activate overdrive every opportunity. This is not possible on every song though.
