Once the audition committee has decided to invite you based on your recording and resume, you will be put in touch with an Air Force recruiter for a phone interview. The recruiter will determine your eligibility to enlist in the US Air Force. If that goes smoothly, then you'll get your invitation to the live audition. Note that you must travel to the live audition at your own expense.
