How to book an audition via My NYCGB

If you haven’t auditioned for the National Youth Choir before, your parent/guardian will need to create a ‘My NYCGB’ account to book an audition. If you have auditioned before, your parent/guardian will need to log into the account they created previously to book an audition.

Once booking has opened, your parent/guardian can book you an audition slot through their ‘My NYCGB’ account, choosing from a range of dates and times. These are offered on a first come, first served basis so don’t delay as some dates get fully booked up!

1. Log on or register for a My NYCGB account. Once logged in, click on the Auditions section on the left-hand side. 
2. Select your preferred audition date and time for the choir that your young singer is eligible to join. All available time slots will appear so, if no slots are shown, the date is fully allocated; please select your next preferred date. 
3. Please complete all the required information to complete your booking. Either tick the box to state that you’re applying for Financial Assistance or make your payment of £20. 
4. You will receive a confirmation email for your audition booking. Please check your junk email if you have not received this. 
5. If you have forgotten your password, you can click on ‘Forgotten password?’ to reset it. This will send you an email to your registered email account. Please follow the instructions in the email and log back on.
