· A good listener who sings with good intonation
The fifteen-minute audition will include

The selection should demonstrate the applicant’s range, timbre, flexibility, diction, expressiveness and stage presence. Memorization is encouraged but not required. An accompanist will be provided; please bring a copy for the accompanist that is marked for tempo, dynamics, ritards, etc.
