The Commitment
Be a part of something Phenomenal
The Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida is joined by our shared love of music and our belief that we can change the world, one song at a time. The GMCSF holds auditions three times each season. We welcome all singers who can sing in the lower vocal register (Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Baritone, Bass) to audition. Potential singers must be at least 18 years of age at the time of the audition and not in high school.
All candidates must register prior to auditions. After completing the audition form, you will be contacted by one of our membership team who can answer any questions you may have and provide more details.
Upcoming audition dates:
- July 31st at 1pm
- Aug 28th at 10am
In the meantime, please read below for answers to some common questions and to learn more about Chorus membership. Because the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida strives for excellence, acceptance as a singing member is determined by an audition. We understand that the idea of an audition might be intimidating, and we do our best to make the audition process as informal and friendly as possible.
What to Expect at the Audition: Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a chorus member who will assist you in filling out some paperwork. The actual audition will consist of two parts. The first part, you will sing a song of your choice. You may pick anything from the National Anthem to your favorite Broadway song. You may sing a cappella or with a recorded track. You will also be asked to sing some scales so the artistic director can determine your voice part. There is no need to be nervous as there are no other auditionees in the room while you perform. The second part is a brief interview with several chorus leaders to help ensure you understand what being a part of the chorus entails. Again, there is no need to be nervous, we are excited you are here and want you to do well. You will be notified of the outcome within a week.

- Our usual rehearsal schedule is each Tuesday from 7:15 PM to 10:00 PM.
