Selection choir audition process VPJD2022
The auditions for the Selection Choir will be held in
advance.
The
advantage of this is, that we don't need to hold the
auditions
on
the first day of the VPJD, and also that the members of the selection
choir could have the sheetmusic and practise files in advance, so they
could prepare the music. And people know in advance if they need to
prepare the music for the big choir or the Selection Choir,
because if you're in the Selection Choir, you will not sing in the big
choir.
You can indicate your interest in auditioning for the Selection Choir
by checking the appropriate box on the application form.
You will be eligible to audition for the Selection Choir after your
admittance to the VPJD 2022 has been confirmed and your
invoice is paid.
Every participant who indicated to be interested, will receive
an email with the instructions and
links to the material needed for the audition.
The
audition procedure is as follows:
Record
yourself on video as you do the following:
- Introduce yourself and tell what voice
part you
will be singing for the audition
- Sing measures 1 to 20 of “Just In Time” with
the MP3
accompaniment – please sing the voicing that you prefer to sing in the
selection choir (PDF and practice files will be
provided)
- Sing Happy Birthday any way you want, in the
most
creative version you can come up with.
The
first two assignments should be recorded to video separately from the
third assignment. Both recordings should be recorded in one take
without any editing.
You can use e.g. www.wetransfer.com or www.myairbridge.com or any cloud
service (OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive); please do not attach them to
an e-mail since this method is not reliable to send large files.
Please note: the videos must be in
by Saturday
April 30st 2022 at the latest.
Early June 2022 every auditioner will be informed about their
admittance to the Selection Choir.
