KWCUSA Mentorship Program
Across the United States we are fortunate enough to have some amazingly talented people who lend their support to the KWCUSA each year.
From contestants, to judges, to industry professionals, these individuals are dedicated to helping KWCUSA Official Members work on their individual performances for auditions in the quest for the gold!
We have gathered these valuable resources into a mentorship directory as a benefit to our paid KWCUSA Official Members.
We are excited to allow our members to benefit from these vocal athletes and their experiences both on and off the Karaoke World Championships stage. Mentors are available for assistance on reviewing your notes and scores, song selection, costuming options, facial expressions, and other vocal and performance areas.
