Dates & Procedure
UWF Singers auditions will take place either IN-PERSON or REMOTELY this year--depending on the needs or wishes of each individual.
This audition is more of a “placement audition” than it is an “admittance audition.” Such placement auditions are used for pedagogical and ensemble purposes, but are unlikely to restrict someone from participating in the group. Please register for the class prior to, or during the audition process. You needn’t wait for audition results before registering.
Auditions will be expected from ALL new and returning members of the choir. Please complete this AUDITION FORM which is designed to collect student information and interest. Forms must be completed by August 25th – the 2nd day of school.

For the Virtual option to be successful, students must have:
1) A device from which to play the video with prompts (computer or phone).
2) A device on which to video record their audition. If using a computer, both of these items are possible from the same device. If using a phone, that ability may vary from phone to phone.
3) Headphones or earbuds are strongly recommended, but not necessary.
4) Ability to film yourself in an environment where a face covering needn’t be worn – use your best judgment to utilize private living quarters, a dorm room, personal vehicle, or other type of private space.
Once you click on the link, this video will contain a series of prompts which will tell you what to do. Such prompts will include: (1) An exact moment to hit record (so all the videos line up); (2) the singing of “My Country Tis of Thee” in two different keys; (3) vocalizing on “zee-ah” high; (4) vocalizing on “Lo-lo-lo” low; (5) 2 major scales; (6) a pitch-matching exercise (in lieu of sight singing typically done in previous years).
IN-PERSON auditions will follow the same format, and will include a SIGHT-SINGING exercise.
**Those interested in joining the UWF Concert Choir (SSAA repertoire, MUN 3323) are not required to audition.
Any questions may be submitted to psteenblik@uwf.edu.
