What to expect at an individual placement audition
For those who cannot attend our Spring Placement Auditions event or an Open Rehearsal, individual placement auditions are available throughout the summer. These appointments last 15-20 minutes.
Come prepared to sing a short song (about 30 seconds). It can be anything you love to sing, or even just Happy Birthday.
The director will ask you to vocalize (sing short patterns) to hear your voice in high and low ranges.
You may be asked to read music. This is NOT a requirement for placement into the choir, but some basic knowledge is strongly encouraged for those wishing to join Lyric Choir.
Above all, your audition will be a LOW PRESSURE time to get to know you as a singer.
