Vocal Auditions:

• Choose a song that displays your vocal range.
• Song should be from a Christian genre (contemporary, worship, hymn, gospel, etc.).
• Your song can be sung to a music track; accompany yourself or have someone accompany you.
• You will be evaluated on pitch, technique, timing, expression and communication.
• Make the effort to submit a quality presentation. Make sure your video is well-lit and we can hear you!

Instrumental Auditions:

• In order to make a proper evaluation of your abilities select a song that is published and well-known.
• Choose a song that demonstrates your playing abilities. Songs that modulate in key, have changing rhythm patterns, and/or complex chord structures are strongly advised.
• Some instruments necessitate the use of a track or band. A song can be played with a music track that does not include the instrument you are auditioning for, with a band, or by yourself.
• Submit one video with two songs, or layer the tracks on one song, if you are auditioning for more than one instrument.

Filming Checklist:

• Make the effort to submit a quality presentation. Make sure your video is well-lit and we can hear you!
• The camera should be focused on you throughout the video.
• Make sure you can be identified if your video has band members playing/singing with you.
• Shoot your video wherever you feel most comfortable (school, church, coffeehouse, home, etc.).
