Choir solos and Chamber Choir info - Shine Bright Easter concerts 26
As we approach our Spring concert and pop-up performances, we wanted to once again ask for your auditions for the solos in the choir songs and for Chamber Choir (for the concert only).
Choir Song Soloists
We will be needing soloists for the following choir songs:
Young Hearts (first verse): Alto / soprano
My Destiny (first verse): Alto or tenor
In order to audition for a solo, we ask you to sing the solo section you are interested in into your phone or recording device with the backing track / full mix on in the background but low so we can still hear it (and see how you are singing along with it) We do NOT need a video - a voice recording is fine, and we definitely need to hear the accompaniment (we suggest you play the track via your computer and then sing your solo into your phone using voice memo or irecorder etc).
Please say the following at the start of the recording:
Your Name
Which choir you are in
Voice part
Which solo you would ideally like
Whether you can make the pop-ups as well as the concert
* NB we may give a different solo to the one you request but do let us know your preference.
Chamber Choir
We will, once again, be featuring a song performed by a Chamber Choir made up of around 20 people at the concert. This will be the beautiful Wichita Lineman by Glenn Campbell.
To audition for Chamber Choir, simply do a recording as above but singing your vocal part in a harmony section of one of our current arrangements (just a minute or so is fine). Sing along to the full mix with it playing quietly in the background so we can hear you very clearly. We are looking for people who can hold their part and who would feel confident to learn their part for this arrangement at home - you will get one or two chances to sing it through in the final weeks of rehearsal, and again on the day of the concert.
Please upload your audition file to the relevant folder:
We really hope you will give either a solo or chamber choir a go this term - it's a wonderful way of challenging yourself and improving your singing and confidence. Apply for both if you wish - give it a go!
Audition deadline: Monday, 2nd March at 10am
