Audition season gets closer every day, and we thought it prudent to bring you:

10 Audition Tips That Will Totally, Definitely, Without A Doubt, Probably Get You In The Group Of Your Dreams. For Realz. But Probably Not.

10. Choose your audition song wisely.

Pick something that shows off your voice with a tune that the group probably won't have done or heard. That way it won't have any preconceived notions about your solo!

Suggestions: "Fix You" (Coldplay), "Chandelier" (Sia), and really anything by Ed Sheeran or Sara B.

9. Make sure to use the "aca" prefix as much as possible in all your interactions and communications with the group(s).

Who among us doesn't strive to be Fat Amy? #endearing

8. Audition for multiple groups on campus.

Make sure to tell them you won't know which group you would choose if you get multiple offers.

Keep them guessing. It shows you are in demand and confident!

7. Warmups are important.

Use the first five minutes of your audition to go through all the scales and warmups you know. It lets the group that you understand and care about vocal health.

6. Fully choreograph your entire audition presentation.

Show the group that you can stay in "Formation."

5. If you don't have perfect or relative pitch, it is essential that you pretend like you do.

Give the group critiques about its pitch and intonation during any audition exercises. It'll show you know your stuff. #FakeItTillYouMakeIt

4. Style is important!

Make sure you dress in all black with a pop of color to show you understand a cappella style!

3. Social media it up!

Friend and follow all the group members before you audition, and interact with them on legacy content.

It may seem like stalking, but they will love that you care about their personal histories.

2. Pick out who in the group you would want to date during your audition.

Intra-group dating brings everyone closer together!

1. Act like you belong (or even better, are in charge)!

No need for humility or modesty; you've got this.

You're going to inherit this group in a couple of months anyway. Why not just have everyone get on board now?

There you have it: 10 surefire ways to rock that audition!
