You shouldn’t put an age limit on the Gospel Dream audition . Afterall, much talent comes after age 40 and maturity of the voice begins after 40.
Thanks
I happen to agree with Mary about the age limit. Most singers’ voices don’t mature until around the age of 40. If someone over 40 shows up to an audition, will they be turned away? I know a lot of great singers in my area that are over 40 & would love to audition.
Unfortunately, it all boils down to their real, underlying motive. The motive is money! Even if the profits go toward charity or ministry, it is still all about money. It is much easier to promote and “sell” a younger artist. Plus, they are looking at how long that artist will be in the industry.
