Auditioning for Auckland Choral
If you would like to audition for Auckland Choral, the following is the process involved:
- You will be invited to attend a couple of rehearsals and sing with the choir. This will enable you to find out if the choir’s repertoire and method of working are right for you.
- If you are then keen to audition, you will be given a preliminary “voice check” to gauge your current level of vocal ability and suitability for the choir, and to confirm where your voice sits best in the choir.
- You might be invited to sing in the next concert if you are able to fulfill the minimum attendance requirements for rehearsals.
- Following your first performance with the choir, you will be given a full audition. This will involve singing a prepared piece, some aural tests (singing back played notes, pitching notes in chords, and clapping rhythms), and sight reading.
On passing the full audition, your membership will be confirmed.

I joined late last year in the Soprano 1 section, and am currently Auckland Choral’s youngest member, at 14 years old. Born and raised in Auckland, I have worked with professional music companies such as New Zealand Opera, Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, Opera Factory, and others. Auckland Choral rehearsals are generally the highlight of my week. In 2015 I gained first place in Opera Factory’s Idol competition. This year in the Aria international vocal competition, I came 1st in two of the four categories available. Outside of music, I study in year 10 at Kristin School in Albany, and I play flute and piano.
