Testimonials

This is my first year as a subscriber to Audition Oracle and I have found it to be an invaluable resource in leading to paid work including the UK Premiere of The Juniper Tree.

James Corrigan - Baritone

I have had so many interesting opportunities this year thanks to Audition Oracle

Richard Rittleman, Bass-Baritone

Thank you for all you do – Audition Oracle is an invaluable resource."

Chris Webb - Bass-baritone

I have used Audition Oracle to find soloists for choral and orchestral concerts and have been astonished by the excellent quality of singers I have been able to engage through the site.

Alexander Walker - Conductor

Without AO's help, I wouldn't have got in front of the team at Iford and therefore would not have secured the role of Rodolfo last year. Consequently, I don't believe I would've been considered for this year's production of Butterfly. So, I am particularly thankful for AO's efforts.

Anthony Flaum - Tenor

I would recommend Audition Oracle to anyone looking for the opportunity to find work as a singer. I’ve been using it for several years now since starting out professionally, and it is my go-to when looking for opportunities. Since then, I have been lucky enough to work for opera companies all over the country. The daily emails are also a fantastic and convenient way to keep up to date with the jobs that are currently being advertised.

Sam Young - Baritone, March 2022

Thank you for this website!

Yara Zeitoun – Soprano

By Voice Alone has undoubtedly opened doors for me: both through the exposure to the panel and with the introduction to Karen Cargill. I was fortunate enough to win an Artist Preparation Award and my prize was lessons with the wonderful Karen. She has been a fantastic teacher, mentor and source of support for me - especially during COVID times. She has enhanced my technical ability, solidified my feeling of self-worth in the industry and has also helped to establish me as a professional singer. So a huge thank you to By Voice Alone for making this connection! Not only this but I was also able to make introductions with leaders in our industry thanks to By Voice Alone's esteemed panel. By Voice Alone was a huge opportunity to me, and I would highly encourage all to apply!

Audition Oracle has provided incredible professional opportunities for myself and continued to inspired me even during COVID, knowing there’s still opportunities to create in difficult times. Their care to give back to artists by reducing their fees during that time also showed their compassion for the artist community.

Audition Oracle helped us out of a tight spot recently, when we needed a Marullo for a production of Rigoletto that was due to start rehearsing in less than a fortnight.
