In your audition video (step 3), you will be asked to show that you can follow the vocal exercises track.
You'll also be asked to sing the 1st verse of "My Country Tis of Thee" acapella (without music).
Use the youtube to learn the melody of the song, but you can record yourself singing in whatever key is most comfortable.
