Audition
Process
When
you arrive for your audition, we will have you fill out a short
questionnaire that will help us get to know you better.
At
the beginning of your audition we will give you a short warm-up.
The warm-up will test your range.
After
you warm up you will be asked to sing back a several short series
of notes to test your pitch matching.
Next,
you will sing a short solo piece. Please prepare to sing a
verse and a chorus of a song that you feel
comfortable
singing. Feel free to let your personality shine through during your
solo. The most important thing is to choose something you have
fun singing!
Last,
there will be a short melody provided. If you feel comfortable, we
will ask you to sight sing the phrase. Do not worry about this part
too much; the ability to sight sing is not required in the Barbershop
Sweethearts.
We
may email you following auditions if we would like you to attend
our
callbacks. At callbacks, you will learn a part of a song we
sing. Callbacks are designed to focus your learning and blending
abilities.
We
look forward to seeing you at auditions! Also, for all the men
who have been asking us about the group, this is
in fact an all-female
barbershop group. Sorry!
