General Term Information

  • Each term is 5 months

  • There are 4 terms total

  • All together it will be 80 weeks of learning.

Fundamentals / Vocal Conditioning Training

“Can they produce performance?”

Fundementals training comes with dense information at the beginning but gradually transitions into heavy conditioning. It is expected that training will become a grind, but only because Aria will not compromise foundational techniques. A performer is expected to maintain character for months if not decades at a time. So, this also means maintaining higher and higher skill levels along with maintaining their health.

Ensemble Training

“Can they coordinate in groups?”

This type of training is an analysis of group cohesion. In Aria, no stars are alone. Initiation, response, coherence, distortion, all of these are key to survive in a group setting. Should you find yourself on a podcast, live stage, or so on, it is important to maintain your composure. Synchronization regardless of your familiarity with your fellow performers can make or break a production.

Performance Training

“Can they communicate through expression?”

Performing is a language that must be easily deciphered by an audience.

  • Emotional readability

  • Symbolic clarity

  • Tension shaping

  • Atmospheric control

  • Perceptual transmission

  • Lingering impact

A trainee is expected to eventually perform all of those concepts in harmony. Without them, a performance doesn’t just lose meaning and impact, it loses communication.

Live Presence / Broadcasting Training

“Can they captivate a live audience?”

We live in exciting times where people make a career out of live streaming from their phone, commentary on game tournaments, and podcasts on all manner of subjects. Control, stability, recovery and so on will become crucial as you navigate a live performance. At Aria, you will learn to not just survive but win over live audiences.

Media Training

“What do people remember them as?”

Don’t get canceled! Media training at Aria isn’t just for staying alive on social media though, it’s also for sustaining your forward-facing image. You’ve seen it time and time again. Performers with lack of boundaries or just outright being taken advantage of. In Aria, trainees are expected confidently face interviews, retain boundaries, and cultivate mutual respect with their fanbase.
