Tips On Auditioning For Voice Students – Where to Audition Locally
Once you have reached a place in your study of voice you may decide to take your craft to the next level. You may want to perform for fun or try to make a career of it. I love teaching singers and I especially love it when my students want to perform professionally. Knowing where and how to begin can save you a lot of trouble down the road. Here are a few local places to start auditioning and take the first steps in your career.
At the beginning of each season I go through each theater company within driving distance and map out what I want to audition for that year. These are the companies I look through all are within distance of my home in Santa Clarita and have open auditions which you can attend even if you are not union.
