30-Day Voice Challenge Round #2 - Rules

I had such a great time last round doing this challenge, I figure why not do it AGAIN?!?!?!?! This time I will do it for the month of April, which is perfect since there are 30 days this month :)  

Some of the RULES have changed!!

30 x DAILY PIANO SKILLS PRACTICE

4 x THEORY STUDY SESSIONS
        I must study theory a minimum of 60 minutes - all exercises must be completed before moving on.

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.

        These can be rented online or part of my existing collection of ones that I haven't watched yet.  I must also provide a critique.

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

1 x ROLE 
        I must learn a role from an opera - doesn't matter the size of the role, but arie and recitatives are required.  The objective of this is to give myself a time frame for learning roles...One month should be sufficient time!
