Audition for Makela
Interested in joining Makela? Our group members come from a wide variety of musical backgrounds and have varying levels of experience - all are welcome to audition!
Auditions usually last for about 30-45 minutes and take place during our rehearsals on Wednesday nights. They include the following components:
Scales with the Musical Director: We will sing through some scales to determine your vocal range and pitch. This is part of the audition - we encourage you to warm up your voice beforehand.
Perform two short performance pieces of your choosing. One should be a faster, upbeat, pop-like song, and the other should be a slower song. We like to hear two songs with different sounds or styles that show off your voice. Prepare to sing a verse and chorus from each. Please choose songs that best show off how great your voice is!
We'll teach you a short song from our repertoire that you will sing with other members, in order to hear voice blending.
