Book a FREE taster session via our Sign Up page.  If you decide it’s not for you, there is no obligation to continue after your taster session.

We do however just ask any prospective members to ensure they are in a position to join the group prior to arranging a taster session.  Therefore, we ask people to ensure that they are comfortable and aware of the rehearsal venue location, dates and times of sessions and membership fee.

All of this info can be found on each of our group location pages with membership fee information available here on our FAQ page.

A confident, clear voice comes primarily from practicing correct techniques, feeling relaxed and singing with and in front of other people.

With Voice of the Town, you’ll get advice, encouragement, opportunities and support from everyone involved to ensure you feel relaxed and happy.  BUT, because we are performance choirs that deliver high-energy shows, we do need you to be willing to sing out, to have good pitch, be confident in holding a tune/harmony, to perform with expression, and to give it your best in terms of learning parts!

You don’t have to be a confident soloist with a big voice, or even want to take a solo, but you do need to be relatively strong in singing out with good pitch.

Furthermore, VOTT song arrangements/harmonies can be a little more challenging than those found in other groups, however it is that approach that has enabled us to do what we’ve done to date.

There is no requirement for our members to understand music notation or read music.

We do however use notated parts for initially learning songs as they have the relevant lyrics, harmonies and directions for each particular section.

The primary resource we use for learning and memorising parts are our fantastic vocal guide tracks, which are mp3 recordings of the harmony parts found in our arrangements.

Membership includes you as a member being able to attend the remaining sessions of the term for which you have paid.

You will also gain access to the Members Area on our website, where you can download and access our fantastic resources for learning the songs, including mp3 vocal guide tracks and PDF vocal parts.

Following your free taster session, Voice of the Town membership costs £110 per term (this is adjusted if joining later in the term), which can be paid either in full, in two or three instalments.

There are three terms per year, each consisting of 12 sessions which are held between 7pm and 9.30pm on whichever evening the relevant group rehearses.

There are no auditions, or requirements to read music or sing solo.

We do however ask that any new members can sing out with good pitch and are confident in holding a tune/harmony, are willing to do a little practice each week to learn their harmonies (all songs are memorised with no music/lyrics used in shows), are comfortable and confident in performing with expression/engaging with the music and are able to attend the majority of rehearsals to ensure effective performances.

Members must be 18 years old or over.

Due to the nature of our performance approach, and the standard of performances we always aim to deliver as a performance choir, we do require all members/prospective members to be able to perform the vocal parts and required movement (steps, claps etc) to a good standard.
