Auditions

Auditions for the 2023 fall season are closed.

The Process

The Din & Tonics hold auditions each fall and spring. The audition process for the Din & Tonics is rigorous but rewarding. The process has two stages: preliminary auditions and callbacks.

Preliminary auditions: The preliminary audition, which lasts approximately 5 minutes, consists of a range test, some short pitch-matching exercises, and an optional sight-reading selection. Additionally, auditionees are asked to prepare a short solo in advance of the audition. Solos can be in any style with which an auditionee feels comfortable, and should be limited to about a minute in length.

Callback auditions: After all auditionees have been heard, the Dins select a portion who are “called back” for the second stage of the audition process. During each of the three callback auditions, auditionees learn and perform selections of the group’s repertoire. Auditionees also have a chance to get to know the Dins themselves.

Once the three nights of callback auditions are complete, the Din & Tonics welcome their newest members, who officially join the group the next morning.

The Dins don't discriminate on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, or religion. We encourage people of all identities to audition.
