Spring 2023 Audition Information

 

We will not be holding auditions this semester!

How auditions will work next semester (Fall 2023)—read below!

You must be a Georgetown University undergraduate student to audition for the Phantoms. On either day of auditions, we start with group warm-ups while introducing ourselves as the Phantoms! Afterwards, you will sign up for a time slot for later that day. Feel free to leave and come back for your designated time slot during which you will sing scales and a solo that you prepared.


Scales: These are a series of ascending and descending notes that help you warm up while also giving us a sense of your range and ability to match pitch. You may sing along to the scales using a vowel of your choice, such as “ah” or “oo.” You will start by singing ascending scales and finish by singing descending scales, and you can begin both in the octave most comfortable for you.

 

Solo: For the solo component of the audition, we will ask you to sing a verse and a chorus of a song of your choice. You may sing a song from any genre, but we ask that you please not sing Disney or musical theater. We recommend that you choose a fairly well-known song, as it is easier for us to judge your pitch accuracy with something we are familiar with. If you have any doubts about the song you want to sing, please email us and we will be happy to help! We also ask that you do not have a backing track or headphones on during your solo. You are welcome to play the starting note or the start of the song to get a sense of the key, but please sing it entirely a cappella. Additionally, if you have any rapping or beatboxing skills, you’re more than welcome to show them off in this part of the audition, but you may only do so after you’ve finished your verse and chorus.

Callbacks: People who receive callbacks will need to prepare a verse and chorus of another song. There will be more details in the callback email!


If you have any questions at all about the audition process, head to our socials and find some audition advice from our current members or email us at guphantoms@gmail.com! Also, don’t forget to have fun! We can’t wait to hear you sing!
