As opera singers, our passion lies in sharing our voices and stories through music. But in today's competitive landscape, talent alone isn't enough. Short, engaging videos showcasing your vocal talent, behind-the-scenes glimpses, or even educational snippets about opera can work wonders. Share these on your LinkedIn profile, other social media platforms, and even your website. Remember: Keep it concise: Attention spans are short. Aim for videos under 60 seconds. Quality matters: Invest in good lighting and sound to make your videos look and sound professional.

Many in the mentorship have observed that the musical theater program is attracting students away from choir. Kids seem more invested in musical theater, leaving choir less populated.

Let's explore the factors influencing their choices and find ways to reignite their interest in choir. 🎭🎶 #MusicEducation #StudentEngagement #ChoirVsTheater

🎯 Mastering the Post-iPhone Era: How Opera Singers Can Command Their Careers 🎶 In the age before the iPhone, the path for an opera singer was narrow and unforgiving. Opportunities were scarce, and success was often dictated by gatekeepers: institutions, agents, and the rare benefactor. To build a career, one had to follow tradition—study, perform, and wait. The singer was powerless, tethered to the hope that someone else would unlock their potential. But in 2024, a seismic shift has occurred. 📲 With the rise of social media, every performance is not merely a gig; it is a platform, a calculated move toward domination in the field. The post-iPhone era has erased the barriers that once held you in place. Now, you, the artist, control your trajectory. You are no longer at the mercy of others. You hold the power. 💪 It is essential to understand that every opportunity to perform—whether grand or modest—must now be viewed as an investment in your future. 💡 Where once you might bemoan the meager payment of a $100 gig, you must now think more strategically. The small sum offered is insignificant compared to the broader potential. You are not performing for the immediate reward; you are building your brand, brick by brick, in the public eye. 🧱👁️ Opera singers often lament the scarcity of well-paid performances, focusing too narrowly on short-term gains. But this is a myopic view. 🔍 True power lies in transforming each opportunity into a carefully constructed moment of influence. Consider every stage, every venue, no matter how modest, as a gateway to wider visibility. 🌍 You are not there for the $100—you are there to create a spectacle that you will broadcast to the world. 📸✨ Social media has given you a tool that was unthinkable a decade ago. With it, your audience is no longer confined to the room in which you perform; it is global, expansive, and ever-present. 📡 The opera singer of today must recognize that exposure is the new currency. The more eyes on you, the more influence you command. 🔥 But remember, not every opportunity is worth your time. Choose wisely. 🎯 The setting must align with the grandeur of your craft. Opera demands elegance, sophistication, and a stage that mirrors the dignity of your voice. 🎻 If the venue does not enhance your brand, decline the offer. Operate with a sense of scarcity, ensuring that when you do appear, it is in the most fitting environment. 🏛️ Once you shift your mindset, you will no longer chase low-paying gigs. Instead, you will turn them into tactical advantages, positioning yourself for the long game. 🕰️ As your visibility increases, so too will your power to command higher fees, sell merchandise, and, eventually, fill venues on your own terms. 🏟️💼 Your brand is your empire. Build it carefully. 👑 Each public performance should serve as a piece of the puzzle that solidifies your image—whether through album sales, exclusive merchandise, or private events.
