New Partnership: Diction Buddy!
One of our biggest missions is to promote and bring accessibility to the best educational programs and resources in opera and classical music. We believe this mission will contribute to making the industry a better and more equitable place for all. In response to this, we are very proud to announce our new partnership with DictionBuddy.
DictionBuddy's mission is to make the songs of the world more accessible to everyone by giving singers easier access to essential lyric diction training resources. Currently, the app (available on iOS & Android devices) covers opera, oratorio, and art songs in 9 different languages including Czech, Russian, Polish, Spanish, French, German, Italian, English, and Latin.
The library of audio tracks contains over 650 tracks read by native speakers in each respective language, at two speeds: fast (normal) and then slow. This helps make the learning process thorough and less intimidating. The app also includes the texts, as well as transliterations, translations, and IPA.
The company, founded and led by Kofi Hayford, Viktoriya Konereva and Emma Lavendier, includes tracks by such experts as Stefano De Peppo, Stefanos Koroneos, Elsa Queron, Marco Nistico, Anya Fidelia, Evelyn Laquaif and many more. The library is constantly being expanded.
DictionBuddy is also very active in the community, regularly hosting competitions, concerts, masterclasses and interviews on their social media channels, as well as offering new performance and educational opportunities for singers worldwide.
We believe DictionBuddy is a fantastic tool to help you prepare your language diction ahead of coachings, rehearsals and performances. We are very happy to be able to offer a 30 % Discount to any of their subscription plans when you use code 360 at checkout on purchases made at dictionbuddy.com
