Classical Singer Convention 2010

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

I am very excited to contribute to Classical Singer’s fantastic annual competition. The competition final rounds will take place during the Classical Singer Convention this May at Times Square in New York City. Velvet Singer will be on hand to exhibit our software and seminars, to present awards to competition finalists, and to support Classical Singer’s highly-valuable mission. I am thrilled to be in the company of so many veterans of our industry and expect to learn a lot.

University Award

I will present a free copy of Velvet Singer Software to each of the finalists in the University Competition at the close of the Final Round Concert on Sunday, May 30th. Each copy of Velvet Singer Software at the student price is worth $145.99. I will award over $1,000 worth of free software.

Each of the five to seven (5-7) singers chosen as finalists from the undergraduate and graduate divisions will have demonstrated extraordinary talent and ability to deliver. These young singers will make ideal recipients of this prize because they will be able to derive immediate value from Velvet Singer’s journaling and audition-tracking features. They will also enjoy getting their repertoire organized by selecting from Velvet Singer’s list of over 2,600 arias.

Professional Track Award

I will also present a free copy of Velvet Singer Software to each of the top rated Professional Track singers at the Winner’s Concert on Sunday, May 30th. Each copy of Velvet Singer Software is worth $195.99, therefore I will award up to $2,000 worth of free software.

Each of these eight to ten (8-10) singers has demonstrated consistent quality and career potential through the unique and valuable Audition Feedback Experience auditions and call backs. These emerging professional singers will immediately gain insight into their careers by tracking their gigs, organizing their repertoire lists, and managing their income and professional expenses with the help of Velvet Singer Software.

Best of luck to all of the participants!
