<p>From someone whose D is now out in the trenches…DO NOT GO INTO DEBT FOR A DEGREE IN VP. Debt is a career killer. Lessons, coachings, accompanists, travel to auditions, gowns, tuxedos,…the expenses only continue after you graduate. I do not care how good that teacher is supposed to be. DO NOT DO IT.
There are hundreds and hundreds of very talented kids, who went to very good schools, and had fantastic teachers but cannot even afford the application fees for professional auditions. YES…in voice you PAY to audition.</p>
