Event Details
Whether you compete, learn, watch or listen, there’s something for everyone at the 8th annual VoiceJam A Cappella Festival. The weekend includes a headliner concert by Take 6, a riveting competition with groups from all over the U.S., workshops, singing opportunities for local community members and in-school outreach.
VoiceJam proudly partners with Vocal Asia a cappella festival. The winners of this year’s VoiceJam competition will be showcased in video format during the next VocalAsia Festival in addition to receiving a produced video of their VoiceJam set.
Groups of two to 20 performers have until Wednesday, Jan. 31 to submit their video audition materials online at waltonartscenter.org/voicejam. There is no age limit for participants and no school affiliation is necessary to audition. Up to eight groups can be selected to compete, and those groups will be announced on Monday, Feb. 5.
The winner will be named VoiceJam champion and will receive a professionally produced video of their set. Judges will also award outstanding arrangement, vocal percussion, soloist and choreography. Cheer on these harmonizing, beatboxing, mind-blowing groups and cast your vote for aca-fan favorite.
A cappella fans and performers alike will gather April 12 and 13 for the VoiceJam Festival, a weekend of aca-activities. Workshops and masterclasses will feature a variety of topics at different skill levels such as a cappella arranging, vocal percussion, body percussion, rehearsal technique, solo singing and more. These workshops are for the VoiceJam competitors, but they will also be available for the public to purchase. Workshop instructions include Deke Sharon, Erin Hackel, Tony Huerta, Jia-Ching Lai and Take 6. Workshop registrations will be open soon.
