Summary:
Are you ready to audition? Voice faculty from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music’s College Audition Preparation program, both past and present, provide guidance on what to anticipate when preparing for a college audition. While using “Twenty-Four Italian Songs and Arias” as a platform, we discuss topics including audition attire, music preparation, repertoire choices, translations, subtext, and vocal health, and then provide an explanation and examples of a traditional audition experience. While these videos are set for the prospective undergraduate vocal performer, their message is useful across a wide range of performance audition areas.
