The Audition Process
Be sure to arrive at your audition 10-15 minutes early!
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 folksongs to “Happy Birthday” to “I’m a Little Teapot.” We don’t judge your song choice, so feel free to sing anything that you’d like to sing.
