Audition Readiness Test

Would You Make the Choir?

Judged the way a choir director listens: in tune against the piano, a tone that blends, pure vowels, a steady pulse and supported breath. Soloist tendencies count against you.

What this panel listens for

  • In tune, including on descending lines. A corrected slip is forgiven; persistent flatness is not.
  • Blend: a full but straight tone with minimal vibrato and no soloistic edge.
  • Pure, uniform vowels and clean consonants.
  • A steady internal pulse.
  • Supported breath and posture for long legato phrases.

5–15 minutes live with the director at a piano: scales to find your range and break, a short prepared piece (often a cappella, 45–60 seconds), and sometimes sight-reading or singing back short patterns. All ages.

What to sing

A legato art song, hymn or folk song in a comfortable key, with a straight tone and pure vowels and absolutely no riffs. Examples: Danny Boy, Caro mio ben, Simple Gifts, Loch Lomond, Shenandoah, Amazing Grace.

Why singers use the Audition Readiness Test

Judged like the real panel

Each audition has its own profile: what the casting team or coaches actually listen for, their hard bars, and the phrases they use.

One honest scale

Scores use the same seven-axis rubric as Rate My Singing, so your numbers mean the same thing across every test on the site.

Free, private, repeatable

No signup. Record as many takes as you like, fix the two things that matter, and watch your readiness climb.

Frequently asked questions

Why is vibrato penalised here?

Because a choir needs voices that blend. Wide vibrato and a soloist's edge make a section sound uneven, so this test weighs tone for blend rather than for star quality.

Will it tell me my voice part?

This test judges readiness, not placement. For soprano, alto, tenor or bass placement use the Vocal Range Test or the voice-type pages, which are linked from your result.

What should I record?

30 to 60 seconds of the part of a song that shows you best, a cappella or with a quiet backing track, in a quiet room with the phone about 30 cm from your mouth. Each page suggests what to sing.

Does my age change the verdict?

If you tell us your age band, the judge compares you with what a voice that age can do, and younger singers get a small allowance on the readiness bar. The Voice Kids page is judged on a child's scale by default.
