In our 8th episode Dana Lynne Varga speaks to us about her multi-faceted career as a singer, voice teacher, career coach, artistic director of Mass Opera, and the founder of The Empowered Musician. She believes strongly that we need to change the way we educate singers, in order to truly prepare them for the realities of the business. We speak about ways educational institutions can better serve singers, how companies can better plan seasons to promote gender parity and diversity overall, and things singers can do for themselves to ensure longevity in this career.
