- State your name and graduating high school, city, and state.
- State the titles and composers of the pieces you are performing.
- Record your performance. Feel free to record multiple takes to get your best performances.
- You may upload separate videos for each part of your audition, or use video editing software to combine your videos into one complete audition video.
When uploading:
- Title each video with your name and the name of the work you are playing.
- Upload on听YouTube听as an "Unlisted" file so the video can be viewed, but will not be publicly searchable on the internet (only people with a link can view).听
- Submit your audition to UTMusic by sending an email to jason.stumbo@utoledo.edu.听The email should contain (1)the links to your unlisted YouTube video and (2)your current contact information.
In addition to the video, you must submit the online Audition Registration form. 听Video should be received at least one week prior to your scheduled online interview.
