Auditions

We hold auditions at the beginning of every semester. Fall auditions tend to be a bit busier than spring, but either way, you're in for an exhausting, yet exciting, late night! But not to worry! It is an exhilarating process! First, you'll sign up for the group(s) for which you'd like to audition (and that's why we love JMU a cappella: there are so many to choose from). Each group has its own unique way of running auditions, and we like to make them as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

The Process: When you are called in we would like you to sing a verse and a chorus of a song that best shows off your voice. It can be any style you want, i.e. Pop, Country, etc. We will also test your range, do a little pitch recall, and maybe blend with the group or try a little bit of easy sight reading. When we are finished hearing all the auditionees, we will choose who we will call back the next day. If you're one, you will receive a phone call most likely very early in the morning because we're in the music building until late, too!

Good luck!
