[ACCEPTED] USC Thornton Popular Music Audition-Hallelujah

This is one of the videos I am using in my application to the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music Popular Music Department.
Thanks for watching!

Just to not give the wrong impression: USC Thornton School of Music gives generous scholarships to many students in every other department...I know, I went there. I imagine since the Popular Music program is only a couple of years old that they just don't have the money allocation yet to offer scholarships in that program.

[@bewitchedbylena]

From your perspective, how important is a resume? And do your performing experiences have to be primarily in popular music?

[@meghanalexandra1136]

Hi!! This is awesome! Is it okay if I email you as well? I have some questions :)

[@AustinCraw97]

Of course!! :)

[@newbie566]

Can I do so too?

[@raikasethimusic]

did you get in ?

[@AustinCraw97]

Yeah!

[@kasensanders]

do they have music scholarships now for popular music

[@nicolevillalta4013]

what equipment did you use for this? thanks!

[@AustinCraw97]

Nicole Villalta I used a rode studio mic (can’t remember the exact name) and garage band for the audio, and just my iPhone for the video :)

[@kasensanders]

Austin Crawford do you recommend a mic? i have a blue yeti mic but idk if it will work for youtube videos! also congrats on making it in since it’s a 20% acceptance rate!

[@jeffgilman2740]

hey man! you have a killer voice by the way!!! i'm applying to the popular music program right now and have a few questions about the audition. do you an email that i can contact you by?

[@adamangus9852]

so why does the graphic say hallelujah by jeff buckley? aside from it not being his song, this doesn't even resemble his version. much more like rufus wainwright. odd mistake to make.

[@isaaclepulu2299]

I have so many questions!!!!!!!!

[@isaaclepulu2299]

Do you have an email so that I could reach you by... I have so many questions about his school that I would like answered!

[@AustinCraw97]

Isaac Lepulu yeah totally! :-) [e-mail]

[@isaaclepulu2299]

AWESOME MAN THANKS A LOT!!! :)

[@liam3779]

Did Thornton send a separate acceptance letter to you from USC's?

[@AustinCraw97]

I don't believe so! I was in contact with my department chair though! :)

[@niathomas184]

are u currently attending Thornton?

[@AustinCraw97]

Sadly, no :( They do not offer music scholarships, and I did not want to graduate with over $200,000 in debt lol

[@ayanabutterfly]

What kind of scholarships do they offer? How do people even attend??

[@bennygarcia1999]

Austin Crawford wow shame on them

[@mybabyromeo1]

[@AustinCraw97]

I don't know yet 😁 I find out on the 21st!

[@newbie566]

Austin Crawford how was the live audition?
