New Member Audition Info
- You must provide your own sheet music for our pianist to accompany you.
- Your audition song doesn’t have to be from a musical, as long as you feel it shows you off to your best
- Our auditions are often very busy, so please don’t be offended if we stop you mid-song. In fact, if your favourite verse isn’t the first one, it may be best to start part way through the song, please discuss this with our pianist when you come in for your audition.
- We prefer live piano accompaniment, however, if you would like to use a backing track, please ensure that it is Karaoke style (no pre-recorded singing) and bring along something to play it on! Please also be prepared to sing some exercises with our pianist, so that we can check that you can follow the piano.
