Musicians must produce all music live for the audition and the show. Pre-recorded or electronic accompaniment is not acceptable with the following exceptions: dancers, jugglers, and magicians may use pre-recorded music. The Board may make exceptions.

It is advisable for audition material to avoid subjects that might be controversial, such as religion or politics. A notable exception would be for material that is more historical in perspective, for example spirituals, country gospel, or African-American gospel.
