关于LACC试镜过程的常见问题。
什么时候举行试演？
Auditions for LACC’s treble choirs will be held 5月 31 – 6月 3, 2025. Auditions for older treble singers (over the age of 13) will be held on 5月 17, 2025 (these singers are considered on a case-by-case basis, but generally have singing experience with another choir before joining LACC).
Young Men’s Ensemble auditions will be held on 6月 8, 2025 and can also be scheduled on a case-by-case basis if needed.
谁可以参加试镜？
Singers entering grades 3-8 for the 2025|26 academic year may audition for LACC’s treble ensembles. High school-aged singers with previous experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Singers in middle school or high school with changed or changing voices will be considered for the Young Men’s Ensemble. For singers in grades 1-2, LACC offers non-auditioned First Experiences in Singing (FES) classes and Next Experiences in Singing (NES) classes.
如何为我的年轻歌手报名参加面试？
To register for an audition, you will need to complete the Audition Registration Form. Once your form is submitted, a staff member will reach out to schedule your audition.
试镜在哪里举行？
试演在帕萨迪纳的帕萨迪纳长老会举行。
我应该何时到达？
请至少在预定时间前10分钟到达现场参加试镜。
试镜期间会发生什么？
指挥员可能会要求你做一些声乐练习或指导你唱几句歌曲。不过，你不必事先准备什么。
什么是音乐能力评估？
LACC的合唱团员参加一个连续的音乐理论课程。为了确保被安排在适当的级别，学徒合唱团、中级合唱团、音乐会合唱团和青年男子合奏团的候选人在与我们的指挥见面时，将被要求尽力完成一个简短的音乐能力评估。
是否会有一个放大的试镜选项？
No, auditions are in-person in Pasadena.
青年男子合唱团试演
Singers with changed or changing voices should follow the same application process detailed above. Recognizing that the voice change may be unexpected and unpredictable, the Young Men’s Ensemble holds auditions on demand throughout the year, but it is best to sign up for an audition on 6月 8 to be considered for the 2025|26 season and to get feedback and recommendations from our conductors and musicianship team.
我什么时候能知道我是否被录取？
试镜结果将在6月中旬公布。大多数被LACC录取的高音歌唱家将被录取为预备合唱团或学徒合唱团成员，每年有少数人被录取为中级合唱团或音乐会合唱团成员。
MY SINGER HAS TAKEN FES/NES CLASSES. DO I NEED TO SIGN UP FOR AN AUDITION?
If your singer has taken First Experiences in Singing (FES) classes, and will turn 8 between 9月 1 and 12月 31, 2023, they will be invited to join our Next Experiences in Singing class. If they will turn 8 before 9月 1, and have completed either FES or NES, they should sign up for an audition to be considered for LACC’s auditioned ensembles.
我的歌手目前是LACC合唱团的成员。我是否需要报名参加试唱？
No. If your singer is currently a member of Preparatory Choir, Apprentice Choir, Intermediate Choir, Concert Choir, Young Men’s Ensemble, Chamber Singers, or Chorale, you do not need to sign up for an audition. Your conductor will hold vocal evaluations before the end of the season to help determine ensemble placement for the following season. If your current high school-aged LACC chorister is interested in joining Chamber Singers or Chorale, more information about auditions for these advanced ensembles will be sent to eligible choristers soon. Eligibility requirements can be found in the Chorister & Parent Handbook, available to current families on Chorus Connection.
DOES LACC PROVIDE FINANCIAL AID?
Yes, LACC’s Need-Based Financial Aid provides financial assistance to qualifying families each year to help cover the costs of chorister participation in LACC programs. If you would like to apply for financial aid for your chorister following his/her successful audition, you may do so during the post-audition registration process.
如果我的年轻歌手被录取，接下来会怎样？
After audition results are announced, families of accepted choristers will receive a digital registration packet to complete and return by mid-七月. The 2025|26 season will begin in 9月 2025.
