❤️ What You Don't See Behind a Post

What you see: a triumphant aria.
What you don’t see: the fifth rejection that week, the vocal fatigue, the panic in her chest.

What would your "what they didn't see" post say?

Audition Oracle @auditionoracle.bsky.social · Jul 7

Kidnapped? Don’t worry - the opera squad is on it’s way. It might take a few arias, a disguise and a tragic misunderstanding, but they’ll get there. 🎶👀

Who are the characters from the last opera you saw?

Remember:
❌ Rejection is data, not a verdict.
🌍 It’s a message from the world — but you decide what it means.
🎭 You are not your last audition.
🌱 You are a lifelong artist.
✨ Every “no” is one step closer to a more aligned, authentic “yes.” ✅
