We aim to provide as much information ahead of an applicant’s audition as possible, therefore they can adequately prepare and come to the audition feeling as confident as possible. So as to keep nerves at bay, we try to keep the audition process friendly and informal.
We offer private auditions* and free auditions at any one of our NSSO Audition Hubs.
Please note, NSSO can provide an accompanist or you can use your own; unaccompanied solo pieces are acceptable, but where there is an accompaniment it must be used.
* £50 fee applies
