2026 VoiceJam Audition Application

VoiceJam Competition Audition

VoiceJam isn’t just a competition—it’s an unforgettable a cappella experience. Each group will step into the spotlight with a private workshop led by top a cappella pros, sharpen their skills in festival sessions, and enjoy a full 30-minute sound check on stage. From performing in a world-class venue to rocking exclusive VoiceJam swag and celebrating at the after-party, you’ll be treated like true artists every step of the way. And the best part? Winners take home a professionally produced video of their live set—your music, your moment, captured forever.
