The Audition Process
In regular circumstances, auditions take place during the first week of Fall Quarter. To sign up for an audition slot, find us at the Talisman table in White Plaza during NSO and Week 1 of Fall Quarter. Be sure to arrive at your audition 10-15 minutes early to fill out an introductory form.
We’ll ask you to sing some scales at the piano, ascending and descending, to warm up your voice and to determine your range. Then, we’ll ask you to sing about 30 seconds of any song you’ve prepared for us. People ask us all the time what they should sing for their audition song; believe us when we say that anything you choose is absolutely fine! We’ve heard everything from foreign folk songs to “Happy Birthday," and everything in between. We don’t judge your song choice, so feel free to sing anything that you’d like that best showcases your voice.
