NATS Student Auditions offer students of NATS teachers the opportunity to be adjudicated on their performance
skills in characterization, as well as vocal skill. We want students to learn by observing other singers, therefore auditions are open. NATS teachers who enter their students into the Student Auditions are the judges for the categories in which their students are not participating, and the comments received from the judges can be extraordinarily beneficial to the students. Participants will also learn from an expert clinician in vocal performance related fields at a workshop which precedes the award ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony, there will be an opportunity to observe top performers in each division at the final recital.

Valley of the Sun NATS Student Auditions are typically held for Music Theater genres each fall semester, separately from the classical genres. NATS Student Auditions for classical genres in the Arizona District are hosted every other spring semester in the Valley of the Sun, although participation is district wide for all auditions. When auditions are not held in the Valley of the Sun, the Grand Canyon Chapter and the Southern Arizona Chapter alternate in hosting.
