We are again looking for new singers (M/F/X) to strengthen Dekoor. Will you be singing with us?

You can sign up for the auditions by filling in this auditions sign-up form.

- You're able to improvise.
- You're able to beatbox (vocal percussion).

Preparation
A Dekoor audition takes 15 minutes max.
- Prepare a pop or jazz song that you can sing for us a cappella (1 verse and chorus is enough).
- You may be asked to sing a contrasting song - for example, if you sang an uptempo, you may be asked to sing a bit of a ballad.
- Optionally, bring the sheet music/chords for your song.
In the audition, we'll test your vocal range, do some exercises with you and listen to your song. Perhaps our conductor will work on your song with you for a bit, so that we can hear the best of you!
Open rehearsal
Curious to see what a Dekoor rehearsal is like? Tuesday the 8th of September, we have an open rehearsal from 9 pm till 10.30 pm in room 2.07 at Parnassos Cultuurcentrum in Utrecht. During this rehearsal, there will of course be plenty of time to ask all your questions about Dekoor and chat with current members! You don't have to sign up for the open rehearsal, you are very welcome to just come by.
Note: the starting time of the open rehearsal has been adjusted compared to what was on the website before.
