Pluginin to Support’s basic overview of what it takes to become an opera singer.

1.Talent - The major prerequisite for becoming an opera singer is having the voice for the job. This is not something that can be learned or acquired – you’re either born with it or not.

1. 2.Training - There are many training paths for opera singers, but most of us end up going to music school or majoring in voice at a university.
2. 3.Working - Many younger singers take advantage of young artist programs to help them move from school to professional singing smoothly.

There are several things that the singer can do to ensure that their auditioning performance is as stress free as possible.

1. Do a few relaxation exercises before you are required on stage. Take a couple of deep breaths and exhale slowly when you are called to calm yourself before proceeding into the audition room.

2. Walk gracefully or stride across the room/stage with purpose, keep your head up and look where you are going.

3. Wear clothing that is comfortable and enhances your appearance.

4. If an accompanist is provided, take time to greet them before starting and thank them after your performance (even if they don’t play the tune well!).

5. Face forwards and look at (or slightly above) the audience/judges/examiners who will indicate when they want you to start and stop you when they have heard enough.

6. When you are ready to start your audition, say hello to the auditioners and provide them with a brief introduction to the song you are about to perform.

7. Concentrate on the music and your performance. Do your best.

8. Don’t fluster or stop if you make a mistake, continue as if nothing happened.

9. Be Yourself

10. Smile!
