WE ARE ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS THROUGHOUT 2022/23! SEND US YOUR AUDITION VIDEO TODAY!
Do you love contemporary a cappella? Are you a singer looking for a great musical community? This is the page for you! Everyone of all ages and from all walks of life is welcome to submit to SoundCrowd, there are no restrictions. You can send an audition video to us at any time to be considered for the group.
– What do I need to prepare? – A video of yourself (1-2 minutes) performing any pop or rock song that YOU do well. It doesn’t have to be a cappella – you can sing along to a track. Pick something that shows you off the best and go for it! Please specify in your submission if you would also like to be considered for the Performance Team.
– What are the expectations? – To be considered for the Full Ensemble, you should have a working knowledge of music and be able to hold your own vocally. No formal training is required, but the ability to read music is an asset. If you would also like to be considered for the Performance Team you’ll need to be able to read music, have a strong singing voice, a decent ear, the ability to move well and possess a flexible schedule. Formal training in music and/or performance is a definite asset.
Once you’ve uploaded your audition (unlisted setting), please submit your YouTube link to info@soundcrowd.ca. When the Artistic Director has reviewed your video he will contact you to book an interview over Zoom, which may potentially include: an informal discussion with the creative team; ear testing; brief sight reading; singing your chosen song live.
