What is it like to audition for the NCC? 

We get asked this a lot. Auditions can be nerve-racking, but they don’t need to be! Remember, everyone wants you to do well and it is a wonderful chance for you to show us your talent.

Here are a few tips from expert NCC students to you!

  1. “Don’t be nervous! If you are, take a couple deep breaths.” – Ava
  2. “Don’t hold back, believe in yourself and go for it!” – Isabella
  3. “Be confident and own what you sing, even if you mess up.” – Miranda
  4. “Always be yourself and don’t stress out. Everyone at the NCC is here to support you!” – Ria
  5. “Sing to the very best of your abilities. Sing confidently and clear with good posture. Don’t force yourself to do what you can’t.” – John
  6. “Drink lots of water and stay hydrated.” – Chase
  7. “Always be prepared and have fun.” – Ella
  8. “Be proud in your singing.” – Joaquin
  9. “Don’t worry about anyone else, do your personal best.” – Josie
  10. “Eat healthy food and get a lot of rest the night before. This always helps.” – Amabel
  11. “Don’t look at the floor when you audition.” – Connor
  12. “Pretend like no one’s watching.” – Scottie
  13. “Do some vocal warm-ups before you start.” – Lucas
  14. “Stand upright, shoulders back, and breathe, knowing you are going to do a great job.” – Reese
  15. “Do your best. All of us believe you can do it!” – Lila
The experience you will have in this choir will be unforgettable and the friends you'll make will last a lifetime!
