How to Win the Voice Audition: The Professor's Step-by-Step Guide to Top-Tier Admissions and Scholarships

You have the talent. Does your application help or hurt?

Many capable singers are eliminated before anyone ever hears them sing live — not because of their voice, but because of avoidable strategic mistakes.

This guide gives you the insider knowledge to change that.

Written by Dr. Jeffrey A. Springer, DMA — Award-Winning Associate Professor of Voice at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM), member of the Undergraduate Admissions and Scholarship Committee, and international operatic tenor.

This guide is for you if you are:

• A singer stepping into this process for the first time
• Families or mentors trying to support their students without getting in the way
• A choir director or voice teacher preparing a student for the biggest audition of their life

What you'll learn:

• How faculty actually evaluate prescreens and auditions
• How to choose repertoire that showcases your voice at the right level
• How to contact faculty and build relationships that move the needle
• How to create a prescreen that gets the right kind of attention
• How the scholarship system works — and how to negotiate it strategically
• What happens behind closed doors when decisions are made

This is not general college advice. This is insider knowledge from someone who has evaluated thousands of auditions and guided millions of dollars in scholarship decisions.
