AUDITION DAY INFORMATION:
Please come prepared to sing a song of your choice. Something soulful would be great! You can sing with a track, accompany yourself on piano or guitar, or a cappella. We will have a keyboard set up in the room. You will not be singing in front of EVERYONE. We have a separate room with a panel of people to listen to you. Don't worry, they're really nice!
Please either fill out the online application, bring your completed (printed) application with you to the audition, or arrive 20 minutes early to fill one out there. Registration begins at 9:30 am with orientation promptly at 10:00 am! Walk-ons accepted. There is plenty of parking around the church building or on Grand Ave.
If it is impossible for you to attend the auditions on September 30, please fill out the online application and submit your audition video. You will then be contacted to schedule an in-person audition. Please contact us at 951-206-3321 or email julie@soulchoir.com with any other questions.
Soul Choir normally maintains 9-12 vocal positions (soprano, alto, and tenor). We perform primarily gospel, soul, and R&B music. The Soul Choir is a highly specialized group and requires an advanced level of vocal ability, experience, and tone matching. All members must maintain this level of artistry in order to remain in the group.
Members are not solely chosen based on their vocal ability. Each Soul Choir member must understand and pledge to dedicate themselves to the mission of the Soul Choir. We are looking for great singers with a great heart for ministry who also fit socially within the group and around others. We are about serving others and working together as a team and we want you to feel comfortable praying with and leading others to the Lord.

COMMITMENT:
Although Soul Choir members are primarily volunteers (not paid employees) and are not required to sign a contract, we do require a certain level of commitment from each member. Upon acceptance of their position with the Soul Choir, each member commits their time, talent, and resources to the mission and integrity of the Soul Choir. This also includes but is not limited to, participation in rehearsals, performances, recordings, and service projects. All Soul Choir members are required to attend and participate in a weekly rehearsal. Performances are also required. We do, however, understand that members may not be able to attend every rehearsal and performance. We just ask that you communicate with the Director or your section leader ahead of time.
