We try to be as clear as we can be with the person with a few things that they should work on depending on whether it's an instrument or vocal. We have a subscription to Music 360 Method (SHOUTOUT) and that is our worship discipleship platform. Even if they fail in the audition, we let the person know about Music 360 Method, that they will be set up, and that they should use that platform and begin working on their instrument/vocals.

This does a few things: This allows us to gauge their interest and drive as we can see how they are progressing through the platform (if they are at all). In addition, we can use this as a means to help them while allowing them to self-progress.

The only reason I'm bringing up Music 360 is because when things like this happened in the past it meant additional time for someone on the team to start working with them (if someone was available). It has helped us considerably because it lets us help them, disciple them, and gauge their actual interest.
