Frequently-Asked Questions
Are Graduate Voice Performance Applicants auditioning in Chicago required to submit a prescreening CD first? No. Due to the time required for processing, applicants auditioning in Chicago will not be required to submit a prescreening recording. Graduate voice applicants should be prepared to sing their audition repertoire in its entirety as time permits.
Where will auditions be held? The auditions will be held in Gottlieb Hall, of the Merit School of Music (please see address and directions above).
When should I arrive at the site? Applicants should report to the audition location ready to perform no less than 20 minutes prior to their confirmed audition time. When the monitor calls you in into the room, there will be a brief check-in process at that time.
Are there warm-up rooms? There will be one warm-up room, with a piano, reserved for use by applicants. It is suggested that applicants utilize the room, as needed, for only the 15 minutes prior.
Do I need to bring my own accompanist? Voice applicants are required to bring their own accompanists. Accompaniment is not required for other areas, but a piano will be available if you choose to audition with your own accompanist.
What do I need to bring to the audition? Applicants should make every effort to submit all application materials to the College of Music by December 1st.
