Career in Doubling

Author: maximus852

Hello all.

This is directed to any of you that are professional doublers.

I'm graduating with my degree in oboe performance this year, and I'm interested in pursuing a career in doubling. I'm going to take a year off before grad school to work on my doubles and audition on oboe, clarinet, and sax. I'm planning on getting a tenor sax, since most of the books with oboe have tenor with it.

What I would like to know is how you feel about doing theater work. Is it hard to break in with my double? I don't even know how one breaks into theater work. I don't know where auditions are posted for pits. Do you think I should plan on moving to New York someday, or another big city like D.C. or Chicago (I live in the midwest and would like to stay near there)? Playing in musicals would be the most ideal for me, but I'd be happy teaching at a university also.

Any comments would be appreciated, since there aren't any doublers around here to talk to.

-Michael
