audition process
The UCI Chamber Singers’ auditions consist of a range test, an acapella solo, and a sightreading exercise.
Range Test
You will sing a short warm up on a vowel or single syllable along with the piano to demonstrate the upper and lower limits of your range.
Acapella solo
Please present a piece you believe shows off your voice as well as your range. We recommend classical art songs, arias, hymns, or Golden Age musical theater pieces for this, but you may present any piece you think really shows off your voice.
Sightreading exercise
Sightreading exercise – You will be given the sheet music and key of a short melody (sheet music 8-12 measure) and then you will be asked to sing the melody a cappella.
