Composer Insider: What is a Virtual Audition?

In the 21st century, composers can find talented individuals through virtual auditions. What is a virtual audition? A virtual audition can be defined, loosely, as an audition that takes place in a virtual space or is not conducting "live" like a traditional audition. Today auditions are being created through Youtube, like Eric Whitacre 's Virtual Choir auditions online, through e-mail, or even through online A&R services like Music Xray. You might want to set up a Skype audition or an audition through Google. Is a virtual audition easy to set up?

Enjoy Animation, Music, and Films at the new Virtual Movie Theater! After finishing my first feature film, Libertaria: The Virtual Opera , a sci-fi animated opera of epic proportions (as all operas should be), I have decided to share my film-loving with other fans of experimental films, animation, and music at VT3K, or Virtual Theater 3000 . This exciting new online movie theater allows you to order popcorn and snacks, enjoy watching select short films and documentaries, and provides you with an interesting new venue to enjoy your favorite (and maybe new favorite) films and short videos.  Listen to Libertaria Sing Virtual Opera Motion Picture Soundtrack Virtual Theater 3000 specializes in the artsy films, music videos, animation, and sci-fi that appeals to those who want to try something outside of the sequels and blockbusters at the movie theater. Every Friday night Virtual Theater 3K will showcase new films as part of the special VT3K: Friday Night Feature Films series.

Composer Secrets: The $2000 Opera

Budget Friendly Opera Production When you think about writing an opera, often your vision is tempered a little bit by reality. After all, the libretto might call for two hundred Roman soldiers marching in perfect rhythm or require insurmountable months of rehearsal to sing your score just right. You might need a full orchestra or a rock band or need to hire a dozen jugglers for that one scene before the heroine plunges a knife in her lovers heart (it is  opera, so we must be dramatic).  The last couple of decades have seen splendor and extravagance, once the calling cards of great opera, give way to smaller chamber operas, short opera productions, and experimental operas where technology replaces lavish sets and a handful of characters play out a complex, sometimes nonlinear, story. When I set out to write Libertaria: The Virtual Opera I knew that I wanted grand splendor. I wanted to recreate the grandiosity of the operatic heyday, when audiences clamored to see exotic
