Artist Level Definitions
The following are Artist Level guideline definitions for Classical
Singer audition listings. Definitions, as such, do not perfectly describe
all singers but should be helpful for artists to determine their qualifications
for a given audition notice.
It is still important for artists to observe these guidelines
as performing companies continue to express their frustration at singers who
send materials for audition listings for which they are not yet qualified.
