Is Talents of Canada-2019 only for singers?
Yes! This show is only for singers

How many songs do I need to learn?
Two. Please come to the audition with two contrasting songs fully prepared. If you are selected to be in the Finale, you will sing either one or both of those same songs depending if you are eliminated in the first round or not. A good rule of thumb is to always sing your best song first. You may not be selected to sing a second song.

How long can my songs be?
Please choose songs that are approximately 3.5 mins long. If a song you really want to sing is longer than four mins, we ask that you cut your song so that it is under 4 mins. You can do this simply online using websites like audiotrimmer.com .

How do you choose who will go on to the Finale?
The producers will collectively decide who will be the top 20 who will move on the Finale. 20 singers will be selected for the Kids Show and 20 singers for the Adult Show. Talents of Canada will NOT discriminate singers based on their age, ethnicity, or gender. We are looking for the best voices.

For the audition, will I receive a time slot?
No. We will have a list outside of the audition room where you can sign-up as you arrive. You will be able to sing on a first come first serve basis. This is a great way to meet people and get energized for your audition.

Is there any fee to participate?
There is no participation/registration fee for singers. Audience members will need to purchase tickets to attend the Finale.

When/Where is the Audition?
August 18th 1PM-4PM (adults only), September 8th 1PM-4PM (kids only). Both the Kids and Adult Auditions will be held at Renegade Studios (3030 E Broadway St, Vancouver)

When/Where is the Finale?
September 29th 2019, 2.30 PM (Kids Show) 7.00 PM (Adult Show), at Massey Theatre (735 8th Ave, New Westminster, BC V3M 2R2)

Is there any training is available?
No. After the first audition, we may offer some advice on how to cut your song. We will not give any advice on how to approach singing your song.

Can someone accompany me on the piano or on guitar?
No. You can play your guitar if you like, but we would like to keep the emphasis on the voice. There are plenty of instrumental/karaoke tracks available for you to use while you perform. Websites like www.onlinevideoconverter.com/mp3-converter can convert your Youtube karaoke track into an mp3. For the audition, you can email yourself the mp3, and you should be able to play that from your phone. We will connect your phone to a speaker for the Audition. For the Finale, we will ask you to email us your tracks.

Can I sing in another language?
This is a multilingual competition. You may sing in any language you like.

What is the prize?
There will be only one winner of the Kids Show and one winner of the Adult Show. Each winner will receive $1000 (Canadian dollars).
