FAQ
よくある質問
How often do you rehearse?
Where does the group tour?
What kind of music does the group sing?
What's the deal with shows and competitions?
How did the mendicants manage a virtual year?
The Mendicants virtually rehearsed, hosted social events, recorded for our upcoming album, and competed in ICCA. We had workshops on music arrangement, singing technique, audio mixing, and recording.
I haven't really sung before. Can I still audition?
Of course! Before joining the group, many of our members had little more musical experience than singing in the shower. We don't require members to read music. We encourage you to audition regardless of experience level.
What should I include in my audition video?
Your audition video should include a snippet of a solo of your choice (about 45 seconds - 2 minutes). The song can be anything that you like and you think works well with your voice. If possible, try to record yourself in a quiet place without many echos. Also, please introduce yourself and the song you'll be singing at the beginning of the video and name the video file in the following way: "Firstname_Lastname". See the home page of this site for other specifications of the submission. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Marcus (mgrewal@stanford.edu) or Ryland (ryland@stanford.edu).
