“Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream.
This excitement is like a forest fire
- you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away. ”

As a young artist or professional singer you are required to have it all. You have to have a beautiful voice and body, great performing and socializing skills, and the ability to cope with preparing for or dealing with a career and all the rest of what life throws your way. Learn to better cope with all of these elements, one topic at a time.

Here in the Article Library, you have instant access to answers to questions that were generated by people just like you, through discussions with singers at all levels of their career journey. The Aria Ready Bootcamps and master classes I present during the year, as well as my participation in the adjudication of competitions like the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, have put me in close contact with singers all over the world. The knowledge and information I gain in these sessions continues to energize me in my mission to assist you in getting to know the person behind the artist. Take a look at the titles below to get a better idea of the depth of the topics covered here. Give yourself the resources to help move you forward on your career path with confidence.

What People Are Saying...


"Thank you for this Carol!! It couldn't have come at a better time. The District Met Auditions are fast approaching and my accompanist and I are trying to pull more character and movement out of every beat of my arias but I was struggling. This was very helpful!! Especially with the long interlude in the middle of "Oh! quante volte!!"--I could take a break and get lunch in the middle of that thing!! Thank you so much and keep these letters coming!!"

- Amy Runte



"If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music."
- Gustav Mahler
