Virtual Voices Musical Theatre
Vocal Competition
EDITION 3, October 2020
During these unprecedented times, musical theatre students are more in need than ever of connecting to the art form they hold dear - that of the American Broadway Musical. This Virtual Voices Musical Theatre Competition affords students the opportunity to work towards a goal, to continue in the development of their voice and acting skills, to become familiar with virtual submissions, and to receive candid, encouraging and inspiring assessment from one of the country's leading musical theatre coaches.
Students are asked to record up to 3 minutes of music from classic or contemporary musical theatre (1 3-minute song or cuts of 2 contrasting songs). Songs must be accompanied by live piano or a pre-recorded track (no a cappella singing, please). Videos should be created as a YouTube link and forwarded to carademanuele@gmail.com. With the submission, please include the student's full name, current grade, age, name of school, name of school district, and name of their voice teacher (it is not necessary to study with a teacher to submit a video for this competition as everyone is welcome).
Students will be assessed on vocal quality and technique, song choices and presentation. Although 1st, 2nd, 3rd and honorable mention winners are chosen, no monetary prizes are awarded. The focus of this competition is preparation, performance and assessment.
The deadline for submission is October 31, 2020. Winners will be chosen and detailed feedback will be provided to each singer via email no later than November 10, 2020.
There is a $15 participation fee. That fee can be paid through Eventbrite in the form of a "ticket". Please use the following link:
