Audition service - consulting for auditioners
|
|
Don't waste any money on writing to agents who never respond. Don't waste any money singing for agents who don't have jobs! Don't waste any money on writing to houses that never invite singers to auditions! Don't waste any precious audition by offering wrong repertoire.
|
|
Do go auditioning in Europe with the help of the Vivace Arts audition service. You will be grateful to have a professional career coach to talk things over with. Someone who knows the business. You can book the Vivace Arts audition service as a one-off service before you come to Europe or during your stay. Single modules. No monthly retainers. The consulting can be done over the phone and via email, or in a meeting. It makes sense to book some modules as early as possible, because it will give you some time to modify your audition rep and polish the recommended arias. In case you have to postpone or cancel your audition trip: modifications about arrival dates, rep details etc. can be done at any time, since you will receive all apllication papers as word files via email, with your address on it.

In order to be of profound help, Vivace Arts will need your photo, your rep+resume/cv, and ideally a CD or an mp3 clip, from you, or hear you live in an auditionsession /coaching in order to give good individual advice. We will let you know what repertoire European/German agents will most probably want to hear from you in auditions. We will check your German in the arias (Ursula is a German born ex singer). We will provide you with a hotlist of important agents who do hold auditions for Opera singers, and really do have jobs! (You will have noticed the free list of over 90 German agents in this website. Many of these are, however, pure concert agents, or agents who generally don't hold auditions at all, or are even out of business, but for odd reasons still part of the official agents lists in books.

The VivaceArts auditioning service will provide you with information about which are the agents for you to contact, and what they want from you, and what casting directors will want from you, too. It's crucial that we discuss and define your European Fach (voice category) before you come to Europe. This will raise your chances of getting auditions immensely! If you know what people will want from you in an audition, you can raise your chances of coming out like a winner. Vivace Arts will help you with this.
