Vocal placements are painless and simply involve filling out the placement form and submitting a short video/audio file of you singing any short song. This can be with or without accompaniment. If you don't have another song prepared, you can choose to sing something familiar, like "Happy Birthday," "My Country 'Tis of Thee," a folksong, hymn, or anything similar.
