Video upload of audition recordings (see 'Video auditions and self tape advice' for more information.

We do not require a specific Spoken English item as detailed on the main video audition page; this is because there are already spoken elements in the audition requirements below.

Here are details of how to prepare and submit your video and documentation in the Acceptd portal:

• One or two songs demonstrating different voice qualities. While live accompaniment is preferred, you will not be penalised if you need to use a backing track. If using a backing track, please ensure it is a solo piano accompaniment, not an orchestral backing track.
• Short, video explanation of motivation to join the programme (no longer than 2 minutes). Please keep this spontaneous and unscripted.
• Short unscripted video response to one of these questions:

1. How would your best friend describe you, both good and bad?
2. How do you like to waste your time?
3. What makes you happiest?
4. Tell us something about yourself that we would never know from your CV or resume?
5. What do you consider to be your greatest achievement so far, or your proudest moment?

Your answer should be no longer than 45 seconds. Keep your answer as natural, spontaneous, and light-hearted as possible. Do not script your answer. Please do not make any reference to singing, dancing, or acting in your answer. Smile!
