The deadline for submitting an audition video is Monday, June 1, 2020, midnight. We are looking forward to a rewarding season after our unanticipated break from music making. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to become a part of our musical family.

1. Select a song that represents your vocal abilities and range. It can be a traditional art song, ballad, broadway piece, or popular song. You don’t need to memorize your audition piece.
2. Make a new recording of your selected audition piece.
3. Please make sure you record yourself in a room with enough lighting that your full face (minimum) or full body can be seen.
4. Try a test recording to determine how far away your recording device should be to ensure you’re fully heard without sound distortion.
5. You are free to practice and record as much as you like, but please do not submit recordings that have been digitally spliced or otherwise altered. Please submit a video that is one consistent recording from beginning to end.
6. Once your recording is completed, please click on the link below to fill out the audition form and upload your audition video.
7. Clicking on the link below will take you to an online form. Please fill the form out in its entirety, including a brief history of your music experiences.
8. In order to submit the form and your video, you must sign in with a Google account. If you don’t have one, please email the artistic director for alternative arrangements at sdcartisticdirector@gmail.com
