Auditions & Assessments¶
Owner: Worship Lead / Tech Lead
Heart posture¶
Assessment is matching gifts to needs — not American Idol. Candidates should leave encouraged even if not placed yet.
How it is recorded¶
- Two listeners when possible
- The outcome is written on Assessment Notes — provisional / shadow more / not this season — with who decided and what the candidate was told. A decline we cannot explain kindly in writing is a decline we should not make.
Musicians / vocalists¶
Typically evaluate
- Time and pitch
- Ability to learn a provided chart
- Blend and dynamic control
- Response to a note (can they try it, without defensiveness?)
- Gear readiness (for instrumentalists)
Suggested flow
- Short warm-up
- Familiar worship song in published key
- Harmony or part-singing sample (vocals)
- Click exercise if tracks are common here
- Conversation: prep habits, availability, motives
Tech¶
Typically evaluate
- Calm under mild pressure
- Signal flow basics for the role
- Following a checklist
- Communication on coms
- Willingness to log issues
Prefer practical shadow tasks over trivia quizzes.
