However, A capella takes amazing singers to pull off. You need to be well trained, unless you're doing it for purposes of parody, or satire. Fact of the matter is, without instruments, you're going to need to be able to do truly amazing things with your voice.

If you attempt it, however, don't forget the power of overdubbing vocals. It's a very common/powerful technique, and has been since the 60s.
you can use a chorus effect on your voice, along with octaves. it can get pretty wild I do it with my guitar effects pedal sometimes. Thats the best way to get it.

Also you could mess with the hertz of a previously recorded track, and up it to make it higher, etc. An effects pedal is the best way IMO thought.
