At the audition, candidates perform and record the following music material in front of the national jury: 

1. Range test: Short a cappella exercise sung on an open vowel showing the candidate’s full vocal range. 
2. 2 prepared scores: The candidate should record his/her part in Latin, with all dynamics and articulation; the other parts are in the piano reduction. This score should be provided in advance (mail) to the candidates, in order to let them demonstrate their best ability in preparing a score at home.
   
3. Candidates must present an Aria, Lied, with or without piano accompaniment, showing their best artistic and vocal abilities. The prepared score must be sung in the correct octave and proper key for the voice part for which a candidate is auditioning.                                                                                                                NOTE: Here, we strongly advise the candidate to present an excerpt that fits his/her voice and vocal style in order to present his/her best artistic potential rather than an attempt to sing a difficult opera aria. Candidate can also choose Aria or Lied of a national composer. 
4. Sight-reading: all applicants should record the melody as a piece of sight-reading.  The singer must sing a capella.  1 to 1,5 minute is allowed to look it through.  It must then be recorded at first attempt in front of the jury.                                                                                            NOTE: The sight reading exercise is not the crucial/final decision point of the candidates audition, but it is important that candidate analyses the whole exercise,(while looking through 1 to 1,5 minute before recording) it’s melody, tonal and theory (solfeggio) components. It is obligatory to follow the given procedure when recording the sight reading exercise. The exercise should not be given and prepared in advance! Prepared sight reading is hearable on the recording. If this is the case, applications will be denied.
