Schedule a time to meet with Anima!
At Anima, we welcome everyone who wants to sing. For this reason, the word audition isn’t truly representative of what we do!
A Placement Hearing is an opportunity for the conductor to meet with you, get to know you and find out where you will find the most success at Anima! Additionally, your Placement Hearing provides a unique one-on-one experience with your future conductor – consider it a mini-voice lesson!
During your Placement Hearing, your conductor will recommend a voice part (soprano, alto, etc.) for you to sing for the following semester. After your placement hearing, you’ll receive a Welcome Letter with information about the upcoming season and instructions about how to register.
