Audition FAQs

I’m nervous about auditioning.
That’s normal. Everyone in Last Call has stood exactly where you are now. We’re not looking for perfection — we’re looking for potential and personality. Take a breath, come as you are, and let your voice do the work.

Can I audition for more than one group?
Absolutely. We want you to find the best fit of the many incredible groups at Cornell, whether that is Last Call or not. You’re free to audition for as many groups as you’d like. Just be transparent about scheduling so each group can give you a fair shot.

What song should I sing?
Pick 30-60 seconds of a song that sits comfortably in your range and shows off your tone. Contemporary solos work well, but what matters most is that the song feels natural and authentic to you. Feel free to use lyrics, but we discourage any backing tracks.

Is a cappella fun?
Yes.

Why Last Call?

If you ask anyone who’s been in Last Call, past or present, they’ll all tell you the same thing: the friendships here last far beyond Cornell. We come from across the University’s seven schools and from all kinds of backgrounds, but music brings us together. From performing at alumni weddings to standing on stage at Commencement, Last Call has shaped our Cornell experience in unforgettable ways.

  • We’re one of two all-male groups on campus — and the only one with a completely open audition process. No Glee Club membership required, no formal training necessary. If you can sing, arrange, beatbox, or just bring something unique to the table, we want to see it. What matters most is talent, drive, and presence.

  • As a member of Last Call, you’ll be part of Cornell’s vibrant a cappella community while also carving out your own space. We’re invited to perform at some of the University’s most high-profile events — from Commencement ceremonies to the Law School, to the Dean’s Advisory Board — as well as sold-out concerts each semester.

  • Our shows are what set us apart. Every performance is built on original arrangements created by members, choreography that elevates the music, and charisma. Our concerts draw audiences of 700+ and are among the most anticipated events in Cornell a cappella.

  • Our sound is distinct and constantly evolving. From Adele to Anderson .Paak, we arrange across genres, always pushing what collegiate a cappella can be.

At its core, Last Call is more than just performance; Our bond off stage is as strong as our sound on stage. If you’re ready to bring your voice — and yourself — into a Cornell tradition, we’ll see you at auditions.
