Audition for North Carolina Choral Artists

How Our Roster & Call List Works
As a project-based ensemble, NCCA primarily meets during the week of a performance, with the occasional pre-project-week rehearsal. Each project is rostered based on a number of factors, and varies in size and structure. While we maintain a “core” roster of singers from project to project, the nature of the ensemble is such that new singers are brought in regularly to fill vacancies and for projects with more extended rosters. We hold auditions on a rolling basis throughout the year to extend our call list, and individual project rosters are built from this list.
A successful audition means that you will be added to our call list, but does not constitute a guaranteed position in every NCCA project. We make this disclaimer because there are a limited number of positions available and our team works to create the best combination of voices to fit the repertoire at hand.
Audition Requirements
Audition materials should be submitted via the form below, and should include the following:
- Your current performance resume/CV
- At least two references who can speak to your experience and qualifications in choral singing
- Two solo vocal works of contrasting styles. These works may be of any style that showcases your range and vocal flexibility, and may be accompanied or a capella.
Video recordings are preferred, but audio recordings are given full consideration. Recordings should be shared via links from platforms including, but not limited to Dropbox, GoogleDrive, OneDrive, or Soundcloud. Links to unlisted (not private) YouTube videos are also accepted.
Audition Formats
Recorded Auditions: Recorded auditions are accepted on a rolling basis via the submission form below.
Live Auditions: Live auditions are held when the Artistic Director is in town, either in Rocky Mount or where an NCCA project is taking place, and are encouraged whenever possible. While live auditions are preferred, all submissions will be given full consideration.
