The Rules

First I would like to thank Cassidy Anderson for inspiring me to do this! And also I have completely stolen from her what I am about to post so the credit is hers for the research :) In her version there is a dance section...ok that's just not happening for me really I'd rather go to a Muay Thai class so I've increased the conditioning and fitness section by 5 sessions.




Being an opera singer is the most demanding genre of vocal performance.  The voice takes years to develop along with mastery of discipline and focus.  I know that as an artist I need to step up what I have been doing to take advantage of my potential and prepare myself for whatever may be coming next...Cassidy borrowed the requirements from Broadway Dance Center's "Full Voice Challenge" and has tailored them accordingly.  There is no more "park and bark" in opera and if I want to even think about playing with the big dogs, now's the time to get serious. 

THE 30 DAY VOICE CHALLENGE REQUIREMENTS

30 x DAILY VOCAL PRACTICE SESSIONS
        Min. 30mins per day of singing practice. You must write a brief 'Daily Practice Report' outlining what your practice session consisted of.
4 x VOICE LESSONS WITH A PROFESSIONAL VOCAL COACH
        Min. 60mins per session. Sessions must be documented with a 'sign-off' photo or video featuring you and your vocal coach.
2 x LIVE VOCAL PERFORMANCES
        YOU perform LIVE!!! You are to perform at least one song in front of a live audience on two separate occasions. Performances must be documented by photo or video.

        Go out and see a live professional performance that INSPIRES you and post a photo of your ticket stub or program.

        Prepare for and attend a professional 'industry' audition (eg. Theatre Show, Theme Park, Live Band, etc.)
