What's The Process

Audition Process

Applicants complete a required video-recorded audition submitted through ACM@UCO's Submittable portal; choose the option matching your focus (Vocal, Guitar, Bass, Drum, or Keyboard Performance)

Each option requires scales/arpeggios or rudiments performed with an audible metronome, two performances that represent your style and abilities, and a short recorded narrative on why you want to attend ACM@UCO

Applicants are evaluated on the content of their submission, not recording/sound quality

No separate live in-person audition or interview is published
