Friday Fermata – Let’s Grow Guts
……And I’m not talking about what you see on Grey’s Anatomy, or a show about cloning. But the kind of guts that gives you the courage to just go for it. The guts that make you leap with only yourself to depend on. You need to leap to live. I don’t know about you but I’m sick of being afraid, scared, uncertain and unsure. Our business is challenging but, last I checked, being challenged is a good thing. All we can do is study our craft, market ourselves wisely, audition a LOT because, if nothing else, it gives us the chance to perform and gives us practice in dealing with the nerves to grows guts, and to keep dreaming because without dreams, what do we have? So, I’m going to stop being scared – it ends today!
P.S. This new found anthem may or may not be due to the fact that I’ve watched Every Little Step five times in a week.
Bio
Hi! I’m currently a singer with the Voices of the Pops, the featured vocal ensemble for Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, with performances at the Kimmel Center, and the Philadelphia Singers, the featured choral ensemble for the Philadelphia Orchestra, with performances at the Kimmel Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Saratoga Music Festival. Past engagements included the soprano fairy soloist, Midsummer Night’s Dream, with the Philadelphia Kantorei in their performance with the Pennsylvannia Ballet, the title role in Suor Angelica with the Denver Opera Company, and several performances, too many to number, with Opera Colorado, and the Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia.
I was recently in the Philadelphia Singers’ Singer Spotlight where I answered some fun questions that you can read about here.
