School of Music, Theatre & Dance Graduate Audition Requirements
Audition Schedule and Application Deadline Dates
 ALL Graduate voice applicants MUST audition in Ann Arbor to receive merit award consideration.
Pre-screening Requirement
Applicants to the Master of Music in Voice Performance or the Specialist in Music in Voice Performance must upload by December 1 an unedited audio recording of four vocal selections for preliminary examination before an audition will be scheduled. Please include one (and only one) operatic aria, one 20th century work, one (and only one) oratorio aria, and one additional song of the applicant's choosing.
Please do not speak on the recording. No introduction is necessary. Create a separate track for each vocal selection.
Upon a favorable evaluation of this recording, your resume, repertoire list, and undergraduate transcripts, an audition may be scheduled.
The pre-screening recording requirement is waived for current University of Michigan undergraduate voice majors applying to the M.M. program, or current University of Michigan
graduate voice majors applying to the Specialist in Music program.
