Auditions

Think you’ve got what it takes to be a Callboy? Come sing for us!

For the first round of auditions, you’ll be asked to sing a short solo(approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute) of a popular song. If possible, choose a song that showcases your vocal range. Also, feel free to show off any talents (beatboxing? shaking your tailfeather?) that we might not notice right away.

We’ll also take you through some simple vocal exercises to get a feel for your range. The process is quick and painless and it’ll be over before you know it, so don’t be afraid to stop by!

Fall Auditions:

Our first round auditions have finished for the semester. IF YOU MISSED them this week, but still have the yearning to become a Callboy this semester, please email us ASAP using the link below.

The second round of auditions will be during the evenings (7-10) on September 1st and 2nd, either at Lincoln or RPCC. If you make it through, we’ll give you all the information you need (so no worries!).

The last round of auditions are on Saturday the 3rd in Lincoln 140. Plan on being available for most of the afternoon, starting at 12. Since this is the last day of auditions for multiple groups, don’t worry about conflicts; we’ll work around them. We want you to have a chance to find the best fit!

Audition FAQs

Auditions make me really nervous. Help!

Relax! We can all sympathize with the feeling of auditioning because… we’ve all auditioned too. As cheesy and cliche as it sounds, just try to be yourself.

I want to audition for two a cappella groups on campus, but they both have auditions at the same time! Can I audition for both, or do I have to choose one?

You can audition for as many different a cappella groups as you’d like! After all, just because you audition for a group does not mean you’re obligated to join that group if you’re accepted. Just be sure to inform us and the other groups that you are trying out for several groups. We all want you to have the best shot at the most groups, so we will make sure you get just that! *High Five!*

What song should I use to audition?

Your audition song should definitely be in your vocal range. If you sing with a high tenor voice, don’t audition with a low song. If you aren’t sure if your song sounds good, sing it to a friend and have them critique you. We recommend choosing a popular, modern solo because that’s what audiences tend to like to hear, and that’s what we do best. However, if there’s a song you can croon on like no other, bring it in! We want to hear what you have to offer, and any strengths you can present. Did I just say croon?

A cappella is fun!!!

Very true, but that’s not a question.
