FEMALE VOCAL audition
For a female vocal audition we are looking for proficient singing technique! You don’t need to add a ton of vibrato or classical touches to your singing. Also don't be afraid to hold out notes and sing confidently!
For the first song (Holy Ground), please sing the female melody lead part. Do your best to match what is being sung in the recording.
For the second song (Again and Again) please try to create and sing a female alto harmony part. If you are unable to sing harmony; then please sing melody on this song as well; although we would like you to try the harmony if you’re comfortable!
Not everyone has the same ranges vocally! Remember we are not looking for perfection just proficiency!
Please use the “Practice Tracks” and lyric sheets provided to prepare for your audition. In these tracks; you will hear original recording of the song with the female melody vocal as the prominent vocal part.
Please use the “Audition Tracks” on this page when recording your audition. They will sound a little different then the “practice tracks”, but will closely emulate what you would hear in your ears during a live service. This includes a click track (metronome) and guide cues that tell you what part of the song you’re in. They should match up with the progression of the practice track & follow the chord chart. For the first song, there is no melody vocal, it is just the click, guide, and tracks. The only melody vocal will be you! For the second song, there is a melody vocal along with the click and guide. This is so you can harmonize with the melody vocal. If you are not harmonizing on this second song; then please just sing melody with the lead vocal.
When you’re recording your video audition; here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:
Do your best to record in a noise-free environment. Ideally we’re only hearing the part you’re singing live and the audition track in the background.
Use a second device to play the audition track out loud.
Take your time! Don’t feel like you have to send in your first take. Prepare as if you’re singing for a service and send us your best!
If possible; please make sure you’re visible in the video as well. We want to see you worship; not just sing!
