Welcome,, you've officially arrived with us to our state of classically induced psychosis. Please! Stay a while! Today we're talking deeply moving instrumental performances,, and unfortunately for you we're REALLY putting to the test if classically trained singers can sing in other genres. You've arrived at our most "musical" episode to date.

We're back!! But we're going deep this time.. Who is a degree in opera or ANY music degree for that matter really for? What's the point of all of this? And where does the ever elusive "YAP career track" fall into all of this? It's all here.

Loottsss of ground covered!! How do we keep the joy in our singing? How do we stay out of the pitfalls of objectifying our own and each other's voices into oblivion? Is vocal pedagogy suffering at the hands of chasing "perfect" sounds? It's a big one!

So many thoughts about doing operas in English, and so little time!! Let's talk weddings, Catholic Church services, and all ideas on making opera better!

Is the ballet world more similar to opera than we think? Are certain auditions still keeping us up at night? The answer to both of those questions: It's more likely than you'd think. Give us a call and leave a voicemail to talk or ask about all things opera at 224-423-5218!

Today we're talking biggest fears!! Leave us a voicemail at (224) 423-5218 to tell us YOUR operatic fears both big and small!

From one of your Nintendogs running away, to forgetting your lyrics onstage, NO ONE can predict what devastating blows lie around the corner in our careers.

Cam reviews her time at the Laffont Metropolitan Opera competition in the lowa disctrict, and Caden processes all things playing Phantom!

We're back!! And we're at a program together!! Can eight young opera singers live in a shared Air B&B for two weeks while putting on three different productions? Will Caden and Cam actually be able to form coherent sentences for this episode? Maybe. Will our true Opera Industry thoughts be revealed? Absolutely.

It's the Navigating The Break holiday episode you've been waiting for!! From singing for relatives, to endless Christmas masses, how do we handle the stress of being a singer during the holiday season??

Navigating the endless sorrows of being a classical singer sometimes we find light at the end of the tunnel even when the light is burnt ravioli.
