Opera After initial engagements at the Opera Philadelphia, Zharoff was a member of the Young Ensemble of the Dresden
Semperoper in the 2012/13 season, where she sang Pamina in Mozart's
The Magic Flute and Violetta in Verdi's
La traviata. In addition to embodying other
soprano roles at various opera houses, she appeared on the concert stage with the
Cleveland Orchestra and performed a chamber piece composed for her by
Richard Danielpour. In the 2013/14 season she made her debut as Giunia in
Lucio Silla at the
Opéra National de Bordeaux. Ingrid Gerk praised Zharoff's performance in an otherwise disappointing production of
La traviata at the
English National Opera in 2015: She said of her performance of Violetta in
La traviata:
YouTube In August 2014, Zharoff launched her own YouTube channel, "The Charismatic Voice," with the motto "Demystifying singing," in which she addresses many facets of the human voice and singing via
reaction videos. After the number of subscribers grew sharply during the first year of the
COVID pandemic, she hired an assistant in the summer of 2020. In her reaction videos, she analyzes and comments on different vocal aspects. At the suggestion of her subscribers, she began to devote her analysis to rock and metal singers, whom she had never heard, such as
Ronnie James Dio and
Rob Halford and, increasingly, to extreme, guttural vocals, featuring subgenres such as
deathcore. In January 2021, she also began to conduct long-distance video "tea-time interviews" with well-known singers. Early guests included
Alissa White-Gluz,
James LaBrie,
Will Ramos, and
Devin Townsend.
Video games Zharoff arranges vocal parts for video games of various genres, including the real-time strategy game
0 AD and the point-and-click adventure game
Elsinore, released in 2019 and which was nominated for "Best Original Choral Composition," "Best Original Song" with "Fair as a Rose," and "Best Original Soundtrack Album" at the 18th Annual
Game Audio Network Guild Awards. Zharoff performs as Annette in the role-playing musical game
People of Note.
Vocal coaching and research Zharoff offers online courses as a
voice coach. She has also developed an interest in sound creation within the upper
laryngeal structure. She used a Kickstarter campaign in September 2024 to create The Charismatic Voice Research Fund, which will allow university studies of this largely not widely understood function, using professional singers as test subjects. The best known of these subjects is Will Ramos. The campaign was promoted through her YouTube channel and a feature interview with CanvasRebel Magazine. Within a month of its launch, the campaign had surpassed its goal of USD$235,000. ==Personal life==
