Virtual Audition Note
Students participating in the February virtual audition only are required to submit a supplementary video on their Be-A-Bronc Application Dashboard.
- This video must be recorded with a live accompanist.
- In the video, students will sing 2 songs from their audition repertoire clearly from memory.
- Videos are due at least 48 hours prior to the virtual audition date.
This video will not be used in place of the virtual audition, but as a supplement in case there are difficulties hearing during the live virtual audition. We will not use the video in place of an audition. If a student submits their supplementary video and does not attend the virtual audition, this will be counted as a missed audition and no admission decision will be made.
If possible, the university prefers that students have a live accompanist with them for their virtual audition. This is better for sound quality. If students are not able to provide an accompanist for themselves, they should be singing over a quality piano recording.
