Interested in auditioning for The Young Americans? Here’s How!
There are 2 options for auditioning to become a member of The Young Americans:
Option 1: Audition in person
Option 2: Submit an audition video
Please see the sections below for more information on both of these audition options as well as what to prepare for your audition, where to submit letters of recommendation, and when the results of your audition will be sent.
All applicants will be asked to sing. Please prepare your best 16 to 32 bars of a song, any style, which you will sing a capella (without music or accompaniment). Choose a song that you feel best shows your range, style, personality, and vocal ability. If you are a dancer please prepare a short dance routine showing your strongest styles (jazz, ballet, tap, hip-hop, locking, etc.) If time allows, you may have the opportunity to sing a second song and/or play an instrument.
