Vocal Program Audition Information
Undergraduate voice audition repertoire requirements
Two memorized songs of contrasting style selected from the classical vocal repertoire (both selections may be in English). Audition selections should not include musical theater, choral, hymns, popular music, jazz, or selections outside of "classical" vocal literature. An accompanist will be provided. Please bring a clean, legible copy of your music.
Performance of repertoire is followed by a brief interview with the voice faculty, and a diagnostic exam to assess general aural and sight-reading skills.
Video Submissions
While in-person auditions are encouraged, for those who cannot come to campus please use the following guidelines for video submission:
Repertoire: Two memorized songs of contrasting style selected from the classical vocal repertoire (both selections may be in English). Audition selections should not include musical theater, choral, hymns, popular music, jazz, or selections outside of "classical" vocal literature.

Submitted audition videos should be of high audio and video quality and representative of the singer’s genuine vocal ability. The use of audio editing or enhancement is strongly discouraged.
Zoom Interviews
After successful completion and submission of all requisite application materials, each auditionee will be scheduled an interview with the voice faculty via Zoom. During the interview the auditionee will be administered a diagnostic to assess general aural and music-reading skills.
