Familiarise yourself with the requirements of the audition and practise each of the elements. We recommend that you warm up before you begin your recording. We also recommend that you record a few takes so that you are familiar with the equipment you are using and feel comfortable and relaxed once you have made the final video.

In the video audition material sent to the UYO, candidates are first asked to briefly introduce themselves and their reasons for wanting to join the UYO. They will then perform the selection piece and instrumental excerpts as listed on the website. Applicants can search for the required works and orchestral excerpts on the Audition Repertoire page.
