"Preparing for Classical Singing Competitions and Auditions" with Roxane Hislop
Sunday 14 June: 3.00-4.30pm AEST
Register at https://events.humanitix.com/advanced-auditioning-for-classical-singers-with-roxane-hislop

This webinar will offer a comprehensive overview of the requirements for audition and offer some guidance for preparing for classical singing competitions at the national and international level, led by esteemed singer and educator, Roxane Hislop. The webinar will include a presentation followed by a workshop of video auditions, followed by a question and answer session.

Competitions are an essential element of building a professional career for young classical singers. These events are lucrative and competitive and can offer significant financial and other benefits including overseas travel and coaching. Each competition is different, with different expectations and requirements. Many competitions now require self-taped audition in the first round, or an interview prior to the final event. Some repertoire may be appropriate for one event, but not another.

The webinar will cover topics such as
- Suitability for a particular audition /competition
- Choice of Repertoire
- Opening an application
- CV’s
- Video application
- What to wear
- Audition /competition etiquette
- Pianist Liaison
- Interviews and interview questions

What a joy it was to perform in the Opera Australia 70th Gala on Sunday night at The Regent Theatre in Melbourne.
To share the stage with such exceptional artists and to sing with Orchestra Victoria again was heaven.
Thankyou and Congratulations to Maestro Bisanti and to my fellow performers, onstage, in the pit and to all the music staff, stage management and backstage crew.

Heading to Melbourne today to see my boys, and to sing with Opera Australia again.
So looking forward to the week ahead, and working with incredible colleagues.
