Audition Feedback Experience
Ready to stop Audition Insanity? At the Audition Feedback Experience you'll learn what you need to do to stop auditioning the same way over and over again expecting different results.
In this Professional Track event, singers present their audition performance and materials to a panel and hear immediate feedback. Hear what people who you could audition for are thinking right after they see and hear you. What is working? What needs to be polished? Get tips on your paper materials, clothing choices, repertoire list, performance choices, technique and more.
As a bonus, if the panelists believe you are ready, you can then sing in the Winners Concert before all of the panelists and Convention attendees on Sunday night.
This program is exclusively for Professional Track attendees and is recommended for singers who are currently auditioning for professional jobs and roles. Register for the Professional Track before you sign up for the AFE.
