Audition Season is upon us...are you ready?

Preparing for auditions, whether for competition or for specific operas, is a complex and demanding process.  You must choose the best arias for your voice right now, learn the translations, read the libretti, clarify your diction, learn the actual notes (and yes, this step is overlooked more often than you might think), make musical choices for phrasing, dynamics, ornamentation, cadenzas, etc., create a dramatic interpretation, and eventually actually sing them for a panel of auditors!

This article from Opera News offers pertinent insight into choosing and presenting your audition arias.  To read the article, click here.

If you would like to work on improving your diction or developing your dramatic interpretation, contact our studio today.
