How do I register?
Email Company Manager Danny Brylow at dbrylow@gmail.com to let us know you'll be uploading a video!
Like our live Voice Labs, we'll be taking the first 14 singers who register.
Where do I upload my video?
To participate in Virtual Voice Lab, you've got a few different options:
1) Upload or livestream a video of your performance to Facebook, then tag @Milwaukee Opera Theatre and either
MOT Artistic Director @Jill Anna Ponasik or Company Manager @Danny Brylow.
When posting to Facebook, use the hashtag #VirtualVoiceLab and set your post's privacy settings to "Public".
2) Upload a video to YouTube and email the link to Company Manager Danny Brylow at dbrylow@gmail.com.
3) Email your video directly to Company Manager Danny Brylow at dbrylow@gmail.com and we'll take care of the rest!
Whatever format you choose, please upload your video by 6:00 PM on Monday, April 27.
But what if I can't get an accompanist?
If you happen to live with a top notch pianist or have access to a recorded accompaniment, by all means, go for it!
But singing a cappella is totally cool! We don't want you getting sick hunting for a world class accompanist!

Per our usual Voice Lab format, Jill Anna and Danny will be on hand to provide feedback via Facebook comments,
and then we'll open the discussion to other Virtual Voice Lab participants:
Step 1 - Statements of Meaning: Responders state what was meaningful, evocative, interesting, exciting, or striking in the work they have just witnessed.
Step 2 - Artist as Questioner: The artist asks questions about the work.
In answering, responders stay on topic with the question and may express opinions in direct response to the artist’s questions.
Got any questions about how this is gonna work?

Prodecure
If you wish to sing, please RSVP to MOT Company Manager Danny Brylow at dbrylow@gmail.com. We will begin taking reservations two weeks before each Lab. Letting us know your repertoire selection in advance is appreciated, but not necessary. Voice Labs fill up quickly. If you find yourself on the Wait List, don't fret! Just show up! We'll do our best to get you up to sing, and if we run out of time, you'll be given priority registration at a subsequent Lab. |
Those wishing to attend Voice Labs simply to watch and listen are more than welcome to do so - no RSVP required!

Voice Lab FAQs
What has Voice Lab been used for? Voice Lab has been used by professional artists to prepare for auditions, try out new repertoire, and revisit old, familiar pieces. Composers have used Voice Lab to assist them in the development of new work. Voice Lab has been used by avocational singers to continue their practice, and by singers returning to music after a hiatus who want a safe place to try things out. Voice Lab is here to support you in whatever way it can.
What does it cost? Voice Labs are offered free of charge. This is one way we support the growth of artists and their art.
Testimonials: "I thought I might be intimidated by all the great voices there, but everyone was so supportive and constructive, that now the only hard part is deciding what to sing next time."
"It was wonderful to be able to perform and hear others perform in such an intimate, non-judgmental situation. It really is a brilliant idea for Milwaukee Opera Theatre to host these."
"If all meetings were run like you run voice lab, people would be so much happier. You keep everyone focused and on task, make it fun, and are SO supportive and positive to everyone!"
