Audition FormsDate: March 29, 2013 by Philip Steinbacher  Views: 1040
Aloha,
I'm wondering if anyone has any audition forms they'd be willing to share with me. I'm updating mine and thought it might be helpful to see what others are doing. This is for an entry-level, general high school mixed chorus. No need to recreate the wheel, right? If you've got a form you're willing to share I'd love to see it. Thanks!

Hi Philip,
Just saw this post. I don't know how helpful this will be, since we have a small ensemble of adult professionals vs a school environment, but here's what we put on our forms:
Name & contact info
Vocal Range
(Alto, Mezzo, Sop)
Vocal Range
(Lowest comfortable note)
(Highest comfortable note)
Do you:
(Sight read)
(Learn quickly)
(Need to hear your part several times)
For complex pieces, do you:
(Eaasily hold down a part quickly)
(Hold down a part after some practice)
(Hold down a part after drilling on your own)
(Prefer to have a partner on your part)
Do you love performing solos?
(Yes)
(No)
How often do you check email?
(What's email?)
(Once/wk)
(Twice/wk)
(Once/day)
(I have a cybernetic implant)
How long do you plan to stay in Bloomington?
What instruments do you play, if any?
Where did you hear about auditions?
Briefly list your major vocal experience:
Briefly describe any performance experience of improv:
List five of your greatest musical influences (groups/performers/ teachers/whatever):
That's it -- hope that helps! Applauded by an audience of 2

Just saw this...here is a link to mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/itvldpbknk0j6vf/ADV%20Audition%20Info.docx. Dropbox reformats it a little funny, but everything is there. I have a version of the sheet for students who I have had in previous years and a form with letters of recommendation for students who have never taken choir previously. Enjoy!

I have used Google Docs for audition forms. Here is a sample. I'm happy to help you set up a similar form, if you need help. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG9pTzZ4aFJnTTN0anp5MExZaUdUU3c6MA#gid=0
The benefit is all information collected is merged into an excel-type spreadsheet. You can add information as you audition: sight-singing scores, notes on timbre, range, etc. It's all stored electronically and automatically, so no losing forms or having to type them in at the end of an already long audition process.
Best,
Julie

I will be happy to share my audition form with you. If you send me an email at ksimon(a)towson.edu, I'll forward the attachment to you.
