Audition Steps
Before Auditions
Fill out your Newark Enrolls application, and rank Arts High School #1!
Sign-up for your audition slot from the Admissions tab on the Arts High School website
Practice before the audition - Cramming before an audition doesn't let us see you at your best! Start practicing as soon as you know you're interested in auditioning
Pick a song you are comfortable singing! We don't need you to be Christina Aguilera or SZA, nor do we need you to outperform Idina Menzel. We want to see YOU shine in your song!
Stay healthy! Life happens, but try to avoid excessive screaming, yelling, or being around people who are contagious prior to your audition.
Audition Day
Get a good night's sleep the night before
Show up at least 30 minutes prior to your audition time - give yourself enough time to get into the building, fill out any forms you need to, and mentally and physically warm up before your audition.
Bring water! Avoid sodas, coffees, or milk-based drinks.
Be prepared for us to ask you questions!
Have fun!

Call Backs
After initial auditions are held, the faculty will hold callbacks for any students from whom they need to hear more before making a final decision. Those students will be contacted with the call back date(s) and attendance information.

IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A CALLBACK, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED INTO THE SCHOOL.
CALLBACKS WILL ONLY BE SCHEDULED FOR THOSE STUDENTS ABOUT WHOM VOCAL FACULTY ARE UNCERTAIN, AND FROM WHOM THEY NEED TO HEAR A BIT MORE, IN ORDER TO MAKE A FINAL ADMISSIONS DECISION.
