Audition service



Audition service - consulting for auditioners
Have you got an agent that never does anything for you? Are you tired of writing to agents who never respond? Ever wasted your money on singing for agents who don't ever come up with jobs? Tired of wasting your money on writing to houses that never invite singers to auditions? Ever wasted your money on auditioning for an operahouse that actually doesn't have any job openings? Ever ruined your chances of winning the precuious audition by singing repertoire they didn't want to hear or singing the wrong FACH?  
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 good time.  
In order to be of profound help, Vivace Arts will need your photo, your rep+resume/cv, and ideally 1-2 short mp3 clips. I will let you know what arias German speaking agents + houses will want to hear from you in auditions once I have the above information. I 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 not "hot" for various reasons. If you want a - commented - individual hotlist, you can get this from us for a fee.  
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.
