Accuracy over flattery
An audition recording has one job: convince a committee that what they hear is what they will get. Committees can hear processing, and they discount it. These sessions are engineered for accuracy — the right room, the right microphone placement, minimal editing — so the recording earns trust instead of suspicion. What comes next in your career may depend on this file; it is treated that way.
Vocalists, instrumentalists, organists
Solo voice, strings, winds, piano, and organ — including finding the right instrument and room when yours will not serve. Released solo work includes organ literature recorded for commercial release; the same ears and equipment sit in on a graduate-school screening round. Ensembles preparing competition submissions should see choir recording or band recording.
Formats and deadlines
Deliverables match the application: unedited continuous takes where rules require them, clean session masters otherwise, named and formatted to the institution’s specification and delivered digitally against your deadline. Video capture for programs that require it can be arranged.
