AUDITIONS
Interested in joining the bubs?
The Bubs host auditions every semester! Whether you occasionally sing in the shower or have been singing in choirs all your life, we encourage you to audition.
what to expect
The Bubs audition process has two parts: personal auditions and callbacks.
Your personal audition will last about 10-15 minutes and will be run by our music director. Here is what it will look like:
First, you’ll be led through some warm ups so we can get a sense for your range
Next, we’ll ask you to do a few pitch matching exercises where you’ll hear a series of pitches on the keyboard and then sing them back to us
Then, you’ll sing a verse and chorus of any song you love
Finally, you’ll sit down with us and we’ll tell you a little more about the group and answer any questions you may have
That’s it!
After we finish our first round of auditions, we will host callbacks. Before your callback, you will meet with a small subset of the group for a short thirty-minute consultation where we will jam out with you and get to know your voice a little better. We will also teach you excerpts from some of our repertoire during your consultation. You’ll then come to your callback where you’ll warm up with us and sing the excerpts you learned alongside current group members. Once our callbacks are complete, we choose our newest members and welcome them into the group!
We understand that auditions can be nerve-racking and sincerely hope that the Bubs twist on the process eases your experience!
