How to successfully record an audition video
place: digital (Zoom)
date: 10/12/2022
time: 14.30pm – 16.30pm

We’re happy to present a very practical December workshop to you: This time we’ll learn how to record and edit our own audition videos.
Audition videos are important to all singers these days, as they are needed in nearly every application process in order to be selected for live auditions.
Sound engineer Sebastian Kienel from Hochschule für Musik und Theater München will explain to us from a technical angle what is needed exactly to create our own recordings in sufficient quality. He will step by step lead us through the whole process of the actual recording session, the necessary equipment and how to deal with it, and how to edit your recording afterwards to receive a file ready to send or upload online.
A workshop to enable you to deal with the recording process at ease and give you the opportunity to focus on what actually matters: Singing and presenting yourself artistically the way you wish.
Register quickly and be there!

You’re interested? Great!

Please sign up by writing us a short email to workshops@kreaktiv-jeunesse.art until Friday, 9h of November. We will send you the link for the meeting the same evening.
Please note that the main lecture in this workshop will be held in German.

You’re also welcome to join later, leave earlier or stay afterwards for a discussion with the other participants.

We’re looking forward to welcome you at our next workshop!

The Jeunesse Workshop Team

It’s summer and you’ve just finished your master’s degree in Berlin. Theater and music are your life and now you want to get started – whether as a musician, singer, or director. Of course, you’ve been to many theatre performances and have already gathered many impressions, perhaps you’ve even done some work as a freelancer at the theatre – unpaid, of course. What are you going to do?

Art opens up spaces in which ideas, reflections and emotions can be developed and negotiated.
Spaces for all of society!

(„Diary“: without claim to completeness. Freedom of the imagination. Scraps of thoughts. Any resemblance to allegedly real scenes is purely coincidental).

Presentation of the concept (Konzeptionsgespräch). These introductions are important. But I don’t like them!

In April 2020, I joined the board of the Spanish union for opera artists „ALE“, where I was responsible for international affairs. My deep conviction was and still is, that we need to create a common European legal basis to protect all opera and theater workers.

As if the studies were not long and difficult enough:

The vocal apparatus, the breath, the psyche, the musicality, the expression – all the time you’re stuck on another corner and when, after 6 years (that’s as long as a basic study of medicine!), you finally stand on your singer’s feet and are lucky enough to be engaged at a theater, you’re a “beginner” with a basic salary of €2000/month, gross, mind you.

Even if some cannot believe it, those who have never been there themselves:  Opera houses and theaters around the world are, even now, regularly sold-out with works that have been sold out for 200 years and that have deeply moved people who want to see the same pieces over and over again – for 200 years, throughout all times of both wars and peace.

The reason why I find myself in our movement kreak[K]tiv musiktheater stands up is that, for me, from the very beginning it has seen the human being, i.e. the artist, and not just the art as the focus of its efforts.
