This was so helpful it’s really comforting to hear an audition experience from someone who isn’t like an expert at sight reading since I definitely am not & do you mind elaborating on the improv part lol
This was so helpful! I want to go to Berklee for songwriting and it’s been so hard to find info on what I should do and expect in an audition so thank you so much!!!
This was very helpful! I am a younger teenager who plays bass guitar, and going to this school is a dream of mine ( and of course I'm most anxious for the audition lol ). I really appreciate these videos! Thanks for making them! 💛
Hi this was a great video. I am also really nervous about the sight reading part. Could you be more specific. Is it really wild intervals/notation? Lots of accidentals? And as for aural tests is it always just call and response?
Hi! I'm so sorry it's taken me this long, I'm sorry if your audition has already passed! If not, sight-reading for voice has no WILD intervals or notations. As you get higher in level, it gets harder (with those things), and if you know your sight reading pretty well you may encounter some of those things (I did not)! And yes, it is usually call and response. Very individualized auditions, however, just my experience :)
Gosh I'm so excited, I'll be having my audition on nov 9th... A question- did you have any scholarships? I'm from Turkey, an international student, and as sad it sounds, no way I could ever study there unless I have a significant scholarship
thank you so much for this video sis! 💓 despite that i’m a junior in high school, berklee is my dream school! i’m just watching as many vlogs, audition tips, etc. to get to know the student life from berklee and i love love loooovveeee your channel! 🤪💓
Hi. How was your audition. How did it went. I'm also trying to get into berklee. Can you tell me about how to give audition online. I am a drummer, so do I need to play the instrument online?
u don’t understand, this video HELPED me A LOT!!! i’m actually applying for both as a vocalist and songwriter! i’m having my audition in LA this Friday! Thanks for helping me out! 🤗
Notes: Tall posture -feet shoulder width apart in line with hips -stand up straight and keep chest slightly elevated Breath is the fuel for singing. - Diaphgram Hands around bottom of stomachs, shoulder and chest should not rise up. Stomach goes outward. Allow stomach to gradually come back in as you hold notes. If the bottom isn’t supported, top note will be strainy. Sing speaking voice strongly on bottom notes .

thankyou so much. this video was perfect. my audition is tommorow and I was really nervous about the improv section but i feel better now. hope i see you there
HI! THIS VIDEO HELPED SO MUCH, my audition is the February, and am also applying as a songwriter in LA but am so torn on what to sing. I only write songs in indie folk but I don't have any songs that I feel are ready to perform. I talked with my singing teacher and she told me to sing a song from a musical but as much as I like the song, I feel like I would be comfortable covering a more folkish song idk idkkk because folk songs don't tend to have belting notes and it always feels like that's what people think of when they hear "showing off your voice" and so idk what to do😭Do you have any advice?
What if you write songs and sing and all but are not the best at playing an instrument ? Will this be an issue ? I create melodies in my head and write lyrics and sing but not necessarily a pro at an instrument 😕 I really want to go to this school but not sure what they expect
You can audition with voice and can use a backing track or instrument. You will solely be examinated on your vocal abilities and not the playing if you're auditioning for voice though.
Great video! Are you studying music performance or songwriting and composition? I’m a singer songwriter and not sure whether to look at performance courses or songwriting and composition
i’m a songwriting major :) I recommend CWP if you like production more than writing, and production if that’s your main focus. songwriting focuses mainly on the writing part, a bit of production. hope this helped! xx
I`m kinda really stupid because I missed my audition because I was super nervous and messed everything up. I`ve been rescheduled but still feel kinda... is that REALLY BAD???
I don’t come from a musical background. I don’t know anything about real music making, or music theory. And I’m so lost. I don’t think I’m good enough. Life sucks
Congrats!i have a question☺️ during auditioning for vocal do you have to know about music notations?is it helpful to learn beforehand to pass the audition?
Did you get the 1st note on the piano when sight reading? I am SO SCARED of that part and don’t know what is coming for me. Was did the sight reading exercises look like? And you just had to sing them directly from the sheet 😱?
hey!! i was just wondering if you had to submit scores of your pieces in the application process? i didn't think i had to but there's a spot in the application for it so i'm just tryna ask around haha
Hi, i'm thinking that i would like to apply for a career in songwriting at Berklee's but i do not write songs that many often, actually nowadays i don't write songs at all, i used to when i was younger but the thing is, i wanna learn how to be a great singer songwriter, so, do you think that i need to start writing songs every day or what would you recommend me to pass the audition?
Hey! Iam riyaa and iam a high schooling student. I will be gratuted by next year mean 2022. I am an writer by now i write books as well as songs. But i think of getting into Berklee but guess what I'm living in India. I just visted US like once. I literly don't have an idea of what it would be. I just used to write some songs and 20% knowledge about composing it. And 40% knowledge to sing it. Please do share me what else should i improve myself to get into Berklee. I really got a long time for my audition so i can improve it a lot better. So plese do tell me some. And congrats on getting into it... Hope you have a good time
Another question is i write bengali music and wanna continue songwriting in bengali,can Barkley songwriting major can help me be a better songwriter in another language.i learnt that it is a very diverse college.
Hi. I'm also trying to get into berklee. Can you tell me about how to give audition online. I am a drummer, so do I need to play the instrument online?
If I have a few experience in songwriting but I still want to apply to this department (I am originally a vocalist), are there any chances of acceptance?
okay. My audition is on Saturday and online. I’m in the same boat with sigh reading but I’m pretty strong with the other aspects of the audition bits but it’s freaking me out :/ any tips

@@prashantranjitkar it went pre well! I’m a singer so it’s probably a lot different. The people you audition for are super kind and supportive even if you make a mistake. For me it was prepared piece/improv/ear training stuff then sight read. As long as you come in practiced I’m sure you’ll do amazing :) I’ll find out if I got in by the 30th

how did your audition go
Notes:
Tall posture
-feet shoulder width apart in line with hips
-stand up straight and keep chest slightly elevated
Breath is the fuel for singing.
- Diaphgram
Hands around bottom of stomachs, shoulder and chest should not rise up. Stomach goes outward. Allow stomach to gradually come back in as you hold notes.
If the bottom isn’t supported, top note will be strainy. Sing speaking voice strongly on bottom notes .
Sing Higher notes:
N-nasal sound gives something to hold onto.
Find right vocal exercises that work for you to train your voice

Hello !!! Thanks for sharing your expérience with us ! I juste wondering, did you have a scolarship ?
What if you write songs and sing and all but are not the best at playing an instrument ? Will this be an issue ? I create melodies in my head and write lyrics and sing but not necessarily a pro at an instrument 😕 I really want to go to this school but not sure what they expect

was the sight reading that she played in ur audition the same pieces that they gave you in the room before ur audition ?
hey!! i was just wondering if you had to submit scores of your pieces in the application process? i didn't think i had to but there's a spot in the application for it so i'm just tryna ask around haha

Cute video Berklee girl ❤️
This video is very helpful. For vocalists on an audition, which one is required: sight singing or sight reading?
I have the same question
did you sing and play guitar for your audition or just sing?
So wait...with the improve you don’t use your instrument to come up with a melody? You use your voice?
Hi Natalie! Thank you for this video!! I was wondering is it preferred to audition with a microphone or not. Thank you!!
Nope! No microphone :)
Another question is i write bengali music and wanna continue songwriting in bengali,can Barkley songwriting major can help me be a better songwriter in another language.i learnt that it is a very diverse college.
Is the songwriting major different than the composition major at Berklee?
Hey when you say sight reading what exactly did you do ?
Hi. I'm also trying to get into berklee. Can you tell me about how to give audition online. I am a drummer, so do I need to play the instrument online?
If I have a few experience in songwriting but I still want to apply to this department (I am originally a vocalist), are there any chances of acceptance?
I have a question, if I wanna take a songwriting and a vocal major, do I have to sing an original song in the audition?
okay. My audition is on Saturday and online. I’m in the same boat with sigh reading but I’m pretty strong with the other aspects of the audition bits but it’s freaking me out :/ any tips

if you auditioned as a songwriter, did'nt you also choose an instrument or can you do that ?
can you enter the college without an instrument ??? and do we have the permission to sing covers
For music composition major ..do I have to give the same interview what u gave
I feel like I’m more than good enough in terms of song writing but singing it’s gotten better but definitely not up there in my opinion
They didn’t ask for a cover?
You are so cute❤️❤️
please tell me 😭 can i dm you on instagram ????
