Auditions FAQ
Q: I do not have a strong musical background. I’ve never sung in a chorus before. Should I still audition?
A: YES! We have members who only sang in the shower before joining, some who have advanced musical degrees, and everything in between. Part of Out Loud’s formula of success is to take a mix of singers with diverse experiences in music.
Q: How often does Out Loud rehearse?
A: We rehearse every Monday evening from 7:00 to 9:30pm, with sectional and other special rehearsals as needed.

A: Members of Out Loud are required to pay the following:
-
Dues are $300 annually, $150/concert can be paid monthly*
-
Retreat cost is TBD for this season
*Financial assistance is available in exchange for volunteer hours. Complete information on costs and assistance will be available at the New Member Orientation.
Q: What do I need to bring for the audition?
A: A song to sing! Please bring either printed music for our pianist, or a karaoke track on your phone or device.
Q: What should I wear to the audition?
A: Whatever makes you feel comfortable!
Q: What happens during the audition itself?
The Out Loud Artistic Director will hear your song selection, and then will guide you through a quick series of vocal exercises to determine vocal placement. That's it! The whole audition takes only a few minutes and will be over before you know it!
