Glee and Spring Awakening actress Jenna Ushkowitz has released the single “Standing On My Own” by Daniel and Laura Curtis to launch the 2016 Your Voice Competition.
“The competition is an international search for the musical theatre talent of tomorrow,” Curtis explained in a statement. “It is open to any nationality, age and group size and all the proceeds from the entry fees will be donated to The Kindred Foundation for Adoption, which was co-founded by Jenna. We're so honored to work with such an amazing artist who is so passionate about this fantastic cause.”
Participants can go to yourvoicecompetition.com and select from a number of songs (including various keys, sheet music and accompaniment tracks) they want to perform. Entries can then be submitted on the website.
The judges panel includes Simon Bowman, Hannah Elless, Jason Forbach, Adam Pascal, Nadim Naaman and Natalie Weiss.
The winner will receive a workshop with Broadway legend Adam Pascal, theatre tickets, an overnight stay in New York, and a recording session.
“Standing On My Own” is available now from iTunes, Amazon Mp3 and other online stores.
