Popular Performance Audition Requirements
Showcase Your Artistry through Cover Song Performances
Perform three to five cover songs that highlight your musical skills. You may accompany yourself or use recorded tracks. If you opt for recorded tracks, ensure the volume is adjusted so your performance is clearly audible. Please refrain from editing or enhancing the sound in any way.
Video Introduction: Share Your Artistic Journey
Record a short (2-5 minutes) video introduction, highlighting your artistic journey. This may include information about the classes or lessons you have taken, your artistic accomplishments, any awards you have won, groups you have participated in, and creative experiences that have been particularly meaningful. Share anything else you would like us to know about you as an artist, showcasing your passion and growth.
