Accompaniment
Artists must provide their own accompaniment. We will not accept acapella auditions.
Acoustic guitar - Artists must provide their own instrument. Mics and a 1/4" cable to plug into the system will be provided.
Keyboard - A keyboard will be available on stage. Artists will not be able to bring their own keyboard to audition.
Karaoke/Backing Track - Artists auditioning with a track will need to provide their own track. Artists can either:
email the track to info@okopry.org with their name and Audition in the subject line OR
bring a USB drive with the mp3 file to auditions
We will not play your track from your personal device. Tracks must be provided by one of the two ways above.
Press Kits & Virtual Submissions
Due to the high volume of submissions we receive and the unreliability of recordings edited with AI, we will not accept virtual auditions at this time. We will only book new artists who attend live auditions. We recognize this is a difficulty for out of town/state artists and apologize for the inconvenience.
