Vocal Performance PreScreen Notifications - Graduate and Undergraduate

<p>Re attire for auditions for female singers: wear something that is becoming and not distracting. Be aware that the audition panel may be sitting below (or above) the stage level, and can see more than you might imagine. Legs should be covered in such a way that they do not distract, with skirts not too short, especially if the singer does not have the legs of a dancer or volleyball player. Showing deep cleavage is not appropriate for audition attire. Wearing heels so high that those of us listening have to worry about how the singer is able to walk is not a good idea either…it shows poor judgement and body awareness, IMHO. In previous years, most young women were wearing clingy jersey wrap dresses. This year they are wearing lots of spanx and tightly fitted sheath dresses, or fitted tops with bell shaped skirts (more likely in a print, but some solid colors). A classic shape and outfit is always appropriate. Good luck to all.</p>
