Countdown…8 days.
In only 8 days, I will be in New York City. I seriously can’t believe it. I’ve been waiting for this time to come since December…and, now it’s here!
I have so many different emotions going through my head. I’m excited, nervous, ecstatic, terrified…you name it. However, through it all, I know that it is the absolute right decision to make in my life. If I stay here, I will be miserable. I have been in an artistic and emotional rut. I know that some artists are able to do really well in a smaller city, and I have much respect for that. There are opportunities if you can find them…but mostly in smaller theater programs and choral work.
For me, I’ve discovered that I need to be where the action is. I need to be somewhere amongst so many people that are striving with the same goals as I am. I need as many music opportunities as possible. I need to be closer than an hour an a half from my voice teacher. I need to stop driving 3-5 hours every time I want to go to an audition. In short, I need to find the joy of auditioning again. Better yet, I need to find the joy of being a singer again.
