The path to a career in classical singing is different for every singer. Some leave college ushered into a series of young artist programs that propel them into a glorious stage career. For others, the road is not always so linear. Are you a dramatic voice that needed more time to develop and now you have aged out of young artist programs? Perhaps you are raising children and they have finally reached the age where you feel comfortable leaving them for a few weeks to perform a role, but your resume lacks the recent experience to get your foot in the door. Did you take a break from the craft and have now returned only to find that the business has changed tremendously, and you need help reingratiating yourself into the world of classical singing? Sometimes life just happens and singing must take a back seat. Whatever the reason, your goals are valid and you deserve an opportunity to achieve.
