Voice
Voice encompasses classical, jazz, popular voice and singer-songwriter. Strong auditions should demonstrate a mastery of technique, the ability to connect to material with a unique personal style, and have the ability to convey the ideas, themes, and narrative of each song.
Are you a vocalist who is 15–18 years old or in grades 10–12?

What YoungArts delivered blew any and all expectations out of my mind. The opportunities, the connections, all of the things that YoungArts has to offer as an organization and as a home for artists is something that could truly be impossible without it.”
