Scottie Singers Audition Materials

Please practice multiple songs and choose the one that is most comfortable for you. When you arrive at your audition, inform the director which song you would like to audition with.

AMERICA (MY COUNTRY THIS OF THEE)

Vee-Voh Warm-up

The warm-up will start by descending, then will re-set and ascend to test both ends of your range. Please sing on “Vee-Voh-Vee-Voh-Vee.”

Pitch-Matching Practice Exercise

You will hear the piano play two pitches one after the other. After the two pitches have been played, please repeat each note on the syllable "loo." There are 6 different pairs of pitches with a long pause after each for you to sing them back.
