Does anyone know if the Berklee Chicago auditons are just recorded or if there are actual people there evaluating?
There are actual people there evaluating – quite a few of them actually. When my son auditioned last year, it was a little beehive of activity, with both students and faculty from Berklee. They were in different areas – the welcome desk, relaxing in a lounge area and talking to kids, and I think three different audition rooms. My son, who plays upright bass, loved the relaxed but energetic vibe.
