You've done what you need to do to be able to spend as much time as possible in the business, by cultivating a lot of different skills, and I think that's important. It keeps you close to the action even when you're not, so to speak, center stage. :-) But you're also right in that at some point, you do have to narrow your focus to what you're truly passionate about.<BR/><BR/>I noticed on Saturday that when Ti heard the recording of her aria, she was shocked - she really had no concept of what she sounded like. It's interesting to hear you explain exactly <I>why</I> that is. It would make it hard to really evaluate your own performance though...I wonder what you can do about it? Other than have someone there to listen when you're practicing, but...then you're limited to their availability.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to come listen to you practice...I have a pretty good ear by now, but I'm definitely not educated about what's right or wrong - I can probably tell if it is right or wrong, but not why. <BR/>:-) So I wouldn't be much help even if I were close by. <BR/><BR/>There's probably no chance I will ever get to see the movie but it would be wonderful to watch it and nudge DH and say, "Hey, I know that girl! No, not her, the real voice." :-) Anyway, I know you'll do beautifully. <BR/><BR/>As to the structure and making time to practice and train...it is really hard. It's the main reason I haven't gotten serious about getting published - it seems that the one thing you really want to be doing is always the one thing you can never build in time for. It's something that really should be a priority but somehow never is. I am, however, completely confident that you will find a way to arrange things so that it is, because you're a rock star like that, and I will then take that as my inspiration to do so as well. (No pressure or anything!) :-)<BR/><BR/>V.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
