Oorah Looking for Talented Singers

It’s a tough market for aspiring Jewish singers. You need some connections, and then you have to find a composer to produce an original track, rent a recording studio to record it, acquire a good agent and a distributor. Most would-be singing stars would be discouraged faster than you can say “demo.” But now, there’s an alternative, “fast-track” to gaining recognition in the music world – the Oorah Auditions competition. In conjunction with Oorah’s annual auction, is soliciting contestants who aspire to have their musical talents showcased on Oorah’s CD, to be distributed with the second mailing of the Auction catalog.

For instant exposure to the wide world of Jewish listeners, there’s no better option. Oorah’s Auction catalog reaches households throughout the world with its eagerly anticipated selection of $5 prizes, all to support its highly successful network of kiruv programs. Contestants can submit their audition by mail, as an email attachment or even over the phone. Five finalists will be chosen, and the winner will be professionally recorded onto the Oorah CD.

To enter your submission, call 732-415-7405 or email attachments to auditions @ oorah.org. To send an entry, mail to:

Auditions Dept. c/o Oorah, 1805 Swarthmore Ave., Lakewood, NJ 08701.

The deadline for entries is January 15, 2009.
