All our auditions take place online, so you can audition easily from your home or school. To book your audition slot, you'll need to register or log in to our online audition and membership portal My NYCGB.

How to book an audition via MyNYCGB

All our online audition slots are available to book through our online portal called 'My NYCGB'. In order to book an audition, you need to either create an account or log in to an existing account, if you have one from registering from a previous National Youth Choir audition.

• If you under 18 years old, your My NYCGB account will need to be managed by a parent, guardian or carer on your behalf, using their email address
• If you are over 18 years old, you can manage your own My NYCGB account using your own email address

Once audition booking has opened, it is possible to book a slot via your ‘My NYCGB’ account, choosing from a range of dates and times. These are offered on a first come, first served basis so don’t delay as some dates get fully booked up!

1. Log in or register for a My NYCGB account. If you have never registered to audition for the National Youth Choir before, you will need to create a new account by heading to the 'My NYCGB' portal and click 'Register' which appears in light grey next to the words 'Log in'. 
2. Click on the Auditions section on the left-hand side once you are successfully logged in
3. Select your preferred audition date and time for the choir that you/your young singer is eligible to join. All available time slots will appear so, if no slots are shown, the date is fully allocated; please select your next preferred date. 
4. Fill in required information to complete your booking. You will be asked whether you would like to apply for Financial Assistance:
   • If you tick the box to state that you’re applying for Financial Assistance, you will not be required to pay an audition fee to complete your booking. Please make sure that you additionally complete our Financial Assistance form once you have booked your audition.
   • If you leave the Financial Assistance box unticked, we will ask you to make your payment of £21 in order to book your audition.
5. Make an optional donation. As audition fees are subsidised, if you’re able to do so, please add a donation and tick the ‘Gift Aid’ box if applicable.
6. Check you have received your confirmation email to make sure that your booking has been completed successfully and that we hold your correct details. If you can't see it in your normal inbox, please check your junk folder - and if you can't see it at all, please get in touch with us!
