Sadly, one of our dear Boxettes has decided to concentrate on other things, which leaves us in need of one more Boxette! Is it you? It could be you. Or your sister, or your friend. No, really- it could!
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Female between 20-28 years old (negotiable!)
Someone who can commit twenty hours a week, including evening and weekends to rehearsing, recording and gigging with the likelihood of this becoming increasingly demanding through 2011 and 2012.
A musically talented individual who enjoys working with others and experimenting and developing their sound.
Aside from this we need to find a girl who can add that special something that we never knew we could do without. We’re a tight-knit bunch, all good friends as well as complementing vocalists - so the fifth Boxette needs to not only be a quality musician, but she has to be our friend too (note: we are lovely!). There are no egos or pop-complexions in this band, just talented friends.
HOW TO APPLY
Simply send the following to: auditions@theboxettes.co.uk
CV/Profile telling us about your musical background, experiences and ambitions (keep it relevant - we don't need to know your GCSE results!)
A digital demo of your voice (audio or video) - this doesn't have to be high quality, even a clip recorded on your iphone will do!
A photo or two Closing date for applications is January 28th. (Auditions are by invitation only. All applicants will be informed of their audition date within one week of applying)
THE AUDITIONS
The first round of auditions will be held in London between 17th - 24th February. You will be asked to sing up to three songs (unaccompanied) that you think will best represent your voice before a panel of current Boxettes and a few select associates. We will try to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible as we want to bring out the best in people!
Successful first round applicants will be invited to the second round, which will involve learning and workshopping some Boxette material.
The final round will involve further rehearsals, a more social aspect, and opportunities to demonstrate your performance skills in front of a live audience.
The applicant that we feel demonstrates the most potential to become a great Boxette will be asked to join the Boxettes for our summer and winter tour, recording projects and video shoots. If all goes well, we hope to invite this person to become a permanent Boxette.
Throughout the whole process we will be looking for the gold in people. We will be giving applicants feedback and encouragement to see how they respond and demonstrate the ability to grow as a potential Boxette. Remember that we want to find the perfect person to join our band, so we'll let each applicant know exactly what they need to work on for next time.
If you think you have what it takes, or know someone who does, then please either apply today or pass this opportunity on.
