Virtual History Teacher Jobs in Rincon, GA (NOW HIRING)

Position Summary

SCAD Savannah is seeking a highly qualified and passionate professor of vocal performance to join its dedicated, award-winning faculty in the School of Film and Acting and help prepare students for rapidly evolving careers across stages, studios, and screens. The ideal candidate will play a key role in shaping a progressive curriculum that develops versatile vocal artists - performers who move fluidly between musical theater, contemporary music, recording, and the ever-expanding landscape of entertainment technology - encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration across SCAD locations and fostering connections with related disciplines such as acting, sound design, film, and emerging media.
The successful candidate will bring meaningful professional experience in the vocal performance industry. They will be passionate about teaching at the college level, where they have the opportunity to motivate students and faculty to think creatively, critically, and innovatively. They should be adept at guiding diverse groups of students through a curriculum that moves from foundational music theory and vocal technique through professional repertoire development and into a capstone showcase experience, with a deep understanding of vocal performance methodologies, industry expectations, and the full range of contexts in which today's working performers must excel.
The ideal candidate brings expert knowledge of the modern performance landscape, with hands-on professional experience across areas such as musical theater, contemporary commercial music, studio recording, cabaret, live concert performance, and emerging media contexts including virtual production and digital platform presence. They will inspire students to develop both the technical command and the authentic artistic voice required to succeed across the full breadth of the industry. A key role will be cultivating versatility, resilience, and professional readiness in students - empowering them to navigate diverse genres and formats with confidence, specificity, and a commitment to vocal health at the center of every artistic choice. The candidate will bring a strong command of repertoire development and audition preparation, guiding students to build a cohesive, deployment-ready professional identity across their book, demos, and performance presentations. Equally important is a grounding in the cultural and historical traditions - from the American musical theater canon to gospel, blues, and contemporary popular music - that continue to shape the voices and stories performers are called upon to inhabit.
The successful candidate will be a forward-thinking educator who thrives in an environment that values collaboration, creative risk-taking, and the development of complete performing artists. SCAD seeks a professor who is ready to make a lasting impact on the future of vocal performance and inspire the next generation of artists to define what vocal performance becomes.
