A: Auditions for the 2024-25 school year will be held September 10th and 11th. Callbacks are scheduled on the 13th.

A: Auditions for Fundamentally Sound will be held in the Mosse Humanities Building, room 2619.

A: Everyone is encouraged to audition, however we ask that auditionees attend a college in the greater Madison area and have a lower voice (tenor, baritone, and bass, typically). Please prepare a short verse and chorus from a song of your choice to sing a cappella (without accompaniment). Check out our repertoire below to get a feel for the kind of music we sing!

Please also be ready to sing a vocal range check, a pitch match/memory test (sing a few notes back to us when we play them), and if you would like, a sample of your beatboxing or rap skills.

A: We have a lot of fun with callbacks! Typically, you will receive an email notifying you if we would like to invite you to callbacks within a couple days of auditioning.

At callbacks, we will sing some songs for you, help you learn one of our songs, and play some games as well! This is as much a chance for you to get a feel for our group dynamic as it is an audition!

A: We encourage it! There are many different a cappella groups at UW-Madison, each with its own character and vocal preferences! We all tend to hold auditions on the same days, so you can sing for multiple groups all in one go! Be sure to research the groups you audition for, and remember that you can only join one group in the end!

A: We typically rehearse 7 hours a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. We rehearse on the second floor of the Humanities Building. Other time commitments include occasional weekend performances and an intensified rehearsal schedule during competition season!

In rehearsals, we do warm ups, then work on preparing songs for our shows and/or the ICCA (competition). We are extremely serious about making rewarding and exceptional music together, so our rehearsals are productive and intense!
