The Anonymous Project

What is ANON

The Anonymous Audition Project is here! The worlds only process for all international opera singers to be evaluated solely by the power of their voice alone!

100% BLIND DISCOVERY! No Photo. No CV. No Names.

Only at the end of the process will be the first time that the world (and the panel) see you and know your name!

 

The ANON Process:

You Register online and send 1-2 recordings that DO NOT show your face!  Just Your Voice!!

The Panel of ACTUAL Casting Directors and Agents review the submissions and the top 40 are invited to sing an ANONYMOUS Zoom Audition for the same panel in a LIVE Auditions via Zoom with the camera OFF.
