The singers on SingerExpress.com are divided into two categories: screened and unscreened.
Screened singers have been given "that extra stamp of approval" by the SingerExpress.com staff. They've auditioned for us and proven that they can re-create what is on their reel in an actual studio situation – quickly, in tune, and on time. (Please be aware that screened singers are only screened for solo and lead vocals, not for group or background vocals.) Some singers are marked as "pending screened approval". This means that the singer is in the process of becoming screened but has yet to audition for SingerExpress.com.
Unscreened singers may or may not have reels, and either (a) have not been heard by us in the studio, or (b) have been heard by us and, in our opinion, are in need of more professional experience. Producers will have to rely on their own judgment when booking an unscreened singer. An unscreened singer has the opportunity to move to the screened category on our website after gaining the necessary experience, positive feedback from producers, and a great live audition with our staff.
