As we get closer to the weekend, we thought it might be useful to put together some frequently asked questions about auditions. If there’s anything you’re still not sure about, don’t hesitate to get in touch! 🎶

Slots are filling up fast - make sure to secure yours now!🕺

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Successful applicants will then be invited to callbacks, which will take place in Week One.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions you might have. We cannot wait to hear you! 🎵

🚨 ATTN: We’re so excited to announce that we are holding AUDITIONS on Friday 15th, Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th September!

Sign up at the link in our bio or via the QR code to secure your spot, making sure to select ‘COMPETITION’ when asked for your group preference.

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Your audition will involve you singing a verse and a chorus of a song of your choice (unaccompanied!), followed by a straightforward range test and call and response exercise. We will also have a brief chat to get to know you a bit better. 🕺

Fflur is also one of our primary arrangers and we can’t wait to perform some of her new works this year! 🎵

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Last but most definitely not least, our final introduction from the Tone Up Exec for 2023/24 is Fflur!

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Fflur is responsible for leading rehearsals, deciding on set lists and working with Toby to ensure that a high level of musicality is achieved, especially in regard to dynamics (iykyk 🫡).

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Rory is responsible for the day-to-day running of the group, making sure that the sacred Tone Up inbox is kept up-to-date, our social media pages are refreshed and all admin in relation to competition, gigs and travel is dealt with.

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Returning this semester to the Tone Up Exec for 2023/24, it’s Rory!

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

From the Scottish Highlands and studying International Relations at Edinburgh, Rory is Tone Up’s Group Manager for his third year in the group.🤠

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Studying medicine and originally from Edinburgh, Toby will be responsible for working with Fflur to lead rehearsals and ensure that the group sound is up to standard for competitions and performances. We may even see a cheeky arrangement or two if we’re lucky! 🤩

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Our next member of the Tone Up Exec for 2023/24 is Toby!

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Our resident (for now) baby of the group, Toby takes on the role of Assistant Musical Director this year.

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Kitty will also take on the responsibility of organising some fun socials and bonding activities for the group outside of rehearsals. We suspect that her and Fflur’s flat might be seeing a lot of Tone Up action this year. 👀

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

We’re back! 🕺 Before we get into welcome week and the build up to auditions (more info coming soon!), we wanted to give some quick introductions to the Tone Up Exec for 2023/24. First up… it’s Kitty!

[Tone Up @toneupacappella]

Kitty joins the exec as Social and Welfare Secretary for her second year in Tone Up. From Manchester, Kitty studies Geology & Physical Geography and will be responsible for making sure that all members feel supported and comfortable within the group.
