Google Thank You Very Much

Google Calendar Integration

Velvet Singer automatically syncs with your free Google calendar. Now you can view, edit, and create your Velvet Singer events from your iPhone or any
web browser via Google calendar. Google calendar can also sync with calendar
applications such as Outlook or iCal. You can also easily share your performance calendar with friends and family or link the calendar into your website.

Picture this: you are out on the road and you schedule a coaching for when you return home by simply creating an event in your Google calendar on your iPhone or on your laptop. Once you are home, you find a little time to work on your business, pop open Velvet Singer and the software automatically
prompts you for the rest:

  • Did you pay the usual $65 for this coaching with Martin?
  • Which of your repertoire did you work on?
  • How did it go? What did you learn?

Integrated with Google Mail

    Now you can send and receive gmail directly from Velvet Singer. Why is that any better than what I currently do? Velvet Singer will help you quickly process emails
    that you send and emails that you receive into well-organized buckets so you never again wonder “where was that audition?” or “who was that conductor I met?”

    Picture this: you get an email accepting your application and offering you an audition. Velvet Singer automatically sweeps that information together and prompts you:

    • This email was from “lyricopera.org”, would you like to update the status of your Ryan Center audition?
    • Would you like to enter the date, time, and location for this audition
    • Will you list your standard five arias?
    • Would you like to enter any audition fees?

    Or picture this: you email your voice teacher that 2:30 pm on Thursday works great for a lesson. Velvet Singer prompts you:

    • Would you like to add this as a new event in your Voice Study calendar?
    • Did you pay the usual $95 for this lesson with Dr. Krauss?
    • Which of your repertoire did you work on?
    • How did it go? What did you learn?

    Create your free Gmail account today and don’t just send emails, process them!
