Preparing for your audition should be fun for you; it's a chance to show how good you really are!

Don't worry, you will audition privately by the panel, there are no group auditions here. The audition will be in a room, not on a stage. We may question you about your experience and your reasons for wanting to be in the Program. An accompanist is provided free of charge, or you can sing unaccompanied. Please bring your sheet music in the key in which you will sing.

Some helpful audition hints

• Choose material with which you are comfortable. Don't attempt Shakespeare or any other verse drama unless you feel entirely comfortable with it.
• Choose a character close to your own age and experience. Connection to character is one of the most important components of the audition.
• Choose songs that showcase your voice and range. Don't attempt difficult pieces unless you feel entirely comfortable the material.
• We are not looking for students who necessarily have an extensive performance background.
• We are looking for students with dedication and talent and who are open to direction and training.
• Remember that it is okay to be nervous or apprehensive. The people auditioning you have been in your position and will have empathy.
