Commonwealth University-Mansfield voice students win awards at regional competition

Voice students from Commonwealth University-Mansfield recently won recognition at the Allegheny Mountain Chapter (AMC) National Association of Teachers of Singing Student Auditions, held in November at Gettysburg College. The auditions included around 120 entries from around Pennsylvania.

Both of the voice faculty at Mansfield, Dr. Todd Ranney and Dr. Alissa Rose, had student winners at the competitions, where students competed against peers of a similar age and experience level. The top three winners in each category were featured in a final concert at the end of the auditions and additional students were recognized as semi-finalists.

All students received comment sheets from the judges, who are voice teachers and NATS members. These auditions provide an opportunity for the students to receive feedback on their singing, hear other students from the region and be exposed to a wide variety of repertoire.
