College students are invited to participate in the annual Collegiate Auditions. Due to the pandemic, video auditions will be accepted and prizes will be awarded in all categories.

This successful event has become a wonderful opportunity for college students to perform before qualified NATS adjudicators and to meet and hear singers from other colleges and universities. It also provides NATS teachers a venue for their students to perform, and a place for camaraderie. 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we will host the audition online again this year. We will be using the Auditionware platform, which can be accessed at NATS.org by signing into your current NATS membership.

Here are a few important points:

• All teachers sending students must serve as judges or find a replacement to adjudicate. Students of teachers who do not fulfill their judging requirements will be disqualified.

• Only matriculated college students who are studying classical voice with a NATS-LA teacher on a college/university faculty may participate.

• There will be winners in all categories. Because this is a virtual event, our costs have been reduced. Therefore, we have reduced the participation fee to $35 per student.

• Take note that NATS National requires that we follow the NATS Auditions Regulations. Age limits for categories and repertoire requirements are a part of these requirements. Additionally, we use standardized NATS adjudication rules and forms. Teachers will receive more information about the adjudication process prior to their judging assignments. 

• Please look over the detailed audition regulations and contact Melissa Treinkman, NATS-LA Collegiate Auditions Coordinator, for help as you prepare your students to make their videos.

• Thank you for your consideration of this opportunity for your students!
