Pensacola Opera

Jan Miller Studio Artist Program 2027-28 (Singers & Pianist/Coaches)

Deadline: Wednesday September 30, 2026

We will be holding live auditions in Pensacola and New York City. We encourage live auditions whenever possible, but welcome those who are not available or unable to sing in-person at one of our audition locations to apply for a video audition.

Applicants who are granted a video audition will be required to record and submit two selections in one continuous video recording (without stopping the camera). Repertoire for video auditions will be selected by the singer. Guidelines for repertoire selection and video production will be provided. 

Video applicants should apply using the form below in the same manner as live audition applicants, indicating “Virtual Audition” in the drop-down menus for location.

LIVE AUDITIONS

All applications are due by Wednesday, September 30. Second-round audition notifications will be sent via YAP Tracker by Friday, October 9. If you receive a live audition, you will schedule a time using YAP Tracker's self-scheduling tool. 

PLEASE NOTE: Pensacola Opera will not provide a pianist for the NYC auditions. If granted an audition in NYC, please plan to bring a pianist with you. We will provide a list of suggested pianists, along with their contact info. For Pensacola auditions, we will provide a pianist at no charge to you.

VIDEO AUDITIONS

All applications are due by Wednesday, September 30. Video audition notifications will be sent via YAP Tracker by Friday, October 9. Specific instructions for recording and submitting your video will be included with your notification. Video auditions must have been recorded no earlier than September 1, 2026. You may, however, use a video that you recorded for multiple companies. Video auditions must be submitted by Monday, November 2, 2026.

Please contact Cody Martin at cody@pensacolaopera.com with any questions regarding this application. For technical help, please contact help@yaptracker.com.
