Unique Selling Point
21 year history of delivering sell-out performances and rave reviews. The audience connects with that honesty and spirit of support and cooperation between with performers (the artists serve as each others backing singers). Women in Voice alumni include Katie Noonan, Kate Miller-Heidke, Jenny Morris, Deborah Conway, Queenie van de Zandt and the late Chrissy Amphlett. As well as presenting some of Brisbane’s and the country’s best female vocalists, it’s also been the upfront, uncomplicated delivery of Women in Voice that has been a key to our success.
Community Engagement
Artistic development and performance opportunities for regional female vocalists.
The community engagement would include the following: • General callout and auditions in each centre – Lewis Jones and Annie Peterson, local accompanist provided by venue • Selection of regional artist to be included in the production • Ongoing online mentoring and development of the regional artist • One day workshop of the regional artist in Brisbane with other Brisbane performers in advance of Brisbane season rehearsals • Final rehearsal of the act the day prior to the regional performance at the regional venue and integration into backing vocals [where possible] and the finale.

Media Review
Women in Voice shows no signs of ageing but to the contrary, demonstrates a freshness and vitality, in part due to regular changes in the line-up of performers and the creative mix.

Media Review
Women in Voice has a culture of its own and a unique following. However it also has universal appeal across a wide range of musical styles. Wittily entertaining, you come away with a smile, a warm glow and an appreciation of talented musicianship.
