Academy of Vocal Arts (AVA)

The Academy of Vocal Arts accepts singers on a full-tuition scholarship basis only. Most of AVA’s artists have graduated from renowned music schools in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Central and South America. They have already achieved a high level of musicianship, a knowledge of music theory and history, and have had many years of private voice study with major voice teachers. Singers are urged not to apply unless they feel they have exceptional vocal/theatrical qualifications and have dedicated themselves to a professional career. All applications are reviewed and evaluated by the members of AVA Faculty and President/Artistic Director.

The Academy of Vocal Arts application and audition process for 2025 will include submitting a pre-screening recording with the application and required documents.

The 2025 Application form will be available on YAP Tracker and will require several additional documents including a prescreening video recording, a resumé, a proof of age, transcripts, references and a headshot. The application deadline is January 15, 2025. All applicants will be notified regarding the Live In-Person Rounds by February 3, 2025.
