  • References: Contact information for 2 professional references (including at least 1 choral reference)

  • Vocal Range: Link to a recording to demonstrate vocal range (e.g. scales sung at a gentle yet focused mf, demonstrating a level of vibrato that you deem appropriate for small ensemble singing).

    • An audio recording created with the Voice Memos app on your smartphone works well. Please upload to Soundcloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar and share the link. Please make sure your share settings will allow anyone with the link to access your recording.

  • 1 to 3 Performance Links: Soundcloud, YouTube, or other Examples of Work. Solo performances will be most helpful if they demonstrate your ability to sing with superb intonation and in contrasting styles and/or show a range of vocal colors.

Please make sure your share settings will allow anyone with the link to access your recording.
