<p>First, I do not intend to rain upon the OP’s parade, but let me say that, although she may well be able to land a job as a cantor, doing so via the VP route may not be possible. At the age of 25, with no previous vocal training, I don’t think that admission to a good, audition-based program is not at all likely.Schools are deluged with applications from females and those girls have years of lessons, choral and competition experience as well as expansive rep lists. They know proper technique and their muscle memory will carry them through. I would suggest that the OP take a good look at some of the threads listed by violadad and investigate programs offered through Hebrew/Jewish Studies schools. I don’t intend to dash anyone’s hopes, but there is a time for realistic thought. I don’t think that age or lack of experience would be held against her if she attempts that route.</p>
