What is it?
This event offers singers the opportunity to sing to a panel of RCM Vocal & Opera professors and receive immediate feedback within a supportive and friendly environment. It is designed to assist singers in their decision to apply to a conservatoire and to help provide answers to key questions such as:
• Am I ready to apply now? If not, how can I improve?
• What course(s) should I apply for?
• How can I maximise my chance of success at audition?
Who is it for?
People thinking of auditioning for Vocal Studies at the Royal College of Music in the future.
What is on offer?
A 12-minute slot, during which you will sing to senior RCM Vocal & Opera professors and receive feedback and advice, addressing any questions you may have. You will be able to sing any two contrasting pieces of your choice. An accompanist will be provided, or you can bring your own pianist if you prefer. You will have the use of a warm-up room beforehand for approximately 20 minutes.
What will I gain from the experience?
You'll gain performance experience in front of senior RCM Vocal & Opera professors, with immediate feedback regarding your suitability for audition and suggestions on areas where you can improve, such as technical advice, languages, interpretation and presentation. Advice will also be given for potential undergraduates unsure of whether they should apply to a conservatoire, university or music college, as well as help with the decision-making process regarding repertoire for auditions.
After being given guidance regarding what the RCM is looking for in a successful applicant and how to maximise your chance of success at audition, you'll be given information on the courses we offer and advice as to which course might best suit your individual needs.
