Some words from past attendees:

”I definitely became more comfortable and exuded more confidence when it came to singing and I thank the program for that.”

- Tyler Roberts, 2015 (Alladin on Broadway)

"I was interested in a vocal intensive because I was ready to turn more attention to my voice and strengthen my abilities as a singer. What OVAA was able to offer in that department was more than I ever anticipated. Every single day, for three weeks in beautiful Dresden, I was able to work, grow, learn, explore and discover what it meant to be a singer, not only in voice lessons, but in musical and dramatic coachings, masterclasses and live performance. Upon completion, I felt a new sense of ownership over my voice as an instrument and my over own artistry, as a vocalist. A more comprehensive program for the singer, I cannot imagine."

-Patrick Heffernan, 2018 (Fiddler on the Roof, Anything Goes, 42nd St. National Tours)

"The intensity of the three weeks forced me to take control of my learning and myself. It was up to me decide what was in my best interest and what would best serve my personal journey. I think that's the one of the hardest and most valuable lessons us pre-professionals need to learn before facing the real world."

- Sabrina Kalman, 2016 (Wizard of Oz National Tour)

"I truly had the time of my life at OVAA and I would encourage everyone to go and experience life in another country."

-Emily Barkovic, 2018

"Any success I may have in the future (regarding the performing arts) I can attribute to what I learned at OVAA."

- Nick Barakos, 2016
