Please come prepared with a headshot (or other non-returnable current photo) and resume.

All artists must be fully vaccinated—those who audition in person will be asked to provide proof of vaccination at registration.

Accompanist will be provided.

Or, you may submit your resume, headshot, and audition video by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, November 22, using our audition submission form.

Please prepare a 32-bar cut of a 1990s pop song (the part you really love to sing) and be prepared to tell a story through that song.
