Drums:

• Lock in with the bassist, paying attention to kick-snare pattern
• We will look to see that you know your patterns, even if you are auditioning without a bassist
• You will play to a click track

Keys:

• Think simple. Avoid overplaying, especially with the left hand
• Some songs have specific parts – know these parts rather than just chording

Vocals :

• In your audition, you will be expected to sing the lead vocal and harmony parts, staying on your respective part. If you are ‘hearing’ a part that significantly varies from how we would sing it, we will demonstrate an altered part and ask you to modify. You will see that there are vocal tutorials for the songs, but please know lead melody and harmony parts for the entirety of each songs
• Pay attention to timing and style of vocal movements on the recordings
• Keep vibrato to a minimum
