FAQ
Q: Q: What genre can I audition with?
A: You can audition with any genre that showcases your vocal ability, but please avoid musical theater songs. Since we don’t usually sing that genre, it’s harder for us to determine if your voice will fit well in our group.
Q: Can I audition in person rather than virtually?
A: Yes, see in-person audition info here
Q: Should I audition in person then?
A: There is no advantage to either audition method, so please do whatever makes you the most comfortable.
Q: Do I have to go to school at GMU to audition?
A: No, however, you must be able to regularly make rehearsals at the GMU Fairfax campus.
Q: Are there additional audition steps after we hear back?
A: Yes, we will be having callbacks shortly after the audition period ends.
Q: Can I audition with a friend or group of people?
A: Yes but you must all audition separately (we want to hear only your voice).
Q: Can I play a starting note for my audition song?
A: Yes, this will not penalize you in any way.
Q: What style of music does MSN sing?
A: We sing mostly contemporary pop and R&B, but ultimately we perform whatever our members are excited about!
