Live Audition Dates

Live Audition Registration

Thank you for your interest in auditioning/interviewing for a Fine Arts Division program at Pepperdine University.

A live audition is only required for applicants pursuing Instrumental Performance, but is strongly recommended for all applicants within the Music and Theatre departments. 

Live Auditions for the 2024-2025 academic year will be facilitated both in-person and on Zoom. Audition sign-ups are available in an online registration format. We are offering Live Auditions on the following dates. 

• October 28: This Audition Day is only for applicants wishing to be considered under the early action deadline. Please note that this Audition Day will be virtual only, and hosted over Zoom. No in-person auditions will be offered. This Audition Day is for all applicants wishing to be considered under the regular decision deadline. Students will receive instructions regarding the Zoom session after registering for an audition date. Registration is now open.
• November 11: This Audition Day is only for applicants wishing to be considered under the early action deadline. This Audition Day is for all applicants wishing to be considered under the regular decision deadline. Auditions are offered both virtually or in-person. For those auditioning/interviewing online, students will receive instructions regarding the Zoom session after registering for an audition date. Registration is now open.
• January 13: Please note that this Audition Day will be virtual only, and hosted over Zoom. No in-person auditions will be offered.

Please note that while an in-person audition is not required for some departments, the supplemental materials are necessary for all applicants. The supplemental Fine Arts application must be completed at least 72 hours prior to your scheduled audition day, and prior to the January 24 deadline. 

Keep in mind, live auditions should be completed within the same Common App season to avoid any difficulties with the admissions process. Example: If you are applying to Seaver College during Early Action, and wish to participate in a live audition, you will want to register for the October or November audition. Do not reserve a January audition date as they fall within the Regular Decision season.'If you are interested in participating in a Portfolio Review with the art department, please register for the Audition Days on either November 11 or January 27. We are not currently offering Portfolio Reviews on our other Audition Days. 

Please do not register for multiple auditions on the same day. If you are interested in multiple areas, you will likely only need to audition once and can still be considered for multiple programs. Please contact the Fine Arts Recruitment Office and we can help you determine which audition to pursue.
