Full transcript
Before we book your audition, Mr Tamang, could you tell me about your singing experience and whether you are looking for regular professional performance work?
मैले नेपालमा दस वर्ष मञ्चमा गाएको छु। यहाँ पनि केही सामुदायिक कार्यक्रममा गाएँ, तर अब नियमित रूपमा व्यावसायिक गायनको काम गर्न चाहन्छु।
Your turn — don't read the rest yet. Hear this dialogue at native speed and interpret each segment aloud; AI marks what you kept, left out or changed, segment by segment. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
Interpret it aloud now →For this audition, please prepare two contrasting pieces, each lasting up to four minutes. Choose songs that show your vocal range and different performance styles.
एउटा नेपाली लोकगीत र अर्को अङ्ग्रेजी आधुनिक गीत गाउँदा हुन्छ? दोस्रो गीतको लागि रेकर्ड गरिएको सङ्गीत चाहिन्छ। त्यो म आफैँ लिएर आउँदा हुन्छ?
That combination is suitable. Please bring your backing track on a USB drive. Auditions are on 11 April 2027 at our Blacktown studio; what time suits you?
म बिहान काममा हुन्छु, त्यसैले दिउँसो तीन बजेपछि आउन सक्छु। समय मिल्यो भने कामबाट सिधै आउँछु। त्यहाँ लुगा फेर्ने ठाउँ छ?
Half past three is available, and we have a changing room. If selected, you would rehearse four evenings weekly: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
साढे तीन बजे मलाई मिल्छ। हप्तामा चार साँझ मिलाउन सक्छु जस्तो लाग्छ, तर बुधबार म ढिलोसम्म काम गर्छु। त्यो दिनको रिहर्सल छुटाउन मिल्छ?
We need everyone at rehearsals because we practise as an ensemble. Could you discuss changing your Wednesday shift with your manager before confirming your availability?
म आफ्नो म्यानेजरसँग बुधबारको पालो सार्न मिल्छ कि भनेर कुरा गर्छु। छानिएँ भने कामको समय र सर्तहरू लिखित रूपमा पाउँछु?
Please confirm your availability before the audition. Performing well does not guarantee an offer; we also consider ensemble balance. Successful applicants will receive written employment details.
ठीक छ, म म्यानेजरसँग कुरा गरेर अडिसनअघि नै कुनकुन साँझ आउन सक्छु भनेर पक्का खबर गर्छु। हरेक गीत चार मिनेटभित्र सकिने गरी तयार गरेर ल्याउँछु।
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went. Your first full dialogue is marked free.

How the test works
Continue with the NAATI CCL Nepali practice test and mock tests.
Practice dialogue written to the CCL specification (two speakers, segments of 35 words or fewer, about 300 words). It is a practice text, not a NAATI test paper, and the AI score is this site's estimate, not a NAATI result. All Nepali dialogues · All languages
