Hey it’s me your friendly Neighborhood opera singer
It’s been a while... hey... how are you? Let me tell you how I am.... I am stressed. Audition season is always so scary and tends to leave me with the sense that everything is up in the air. It is all uncertain you keep asking your self “do I stay with safe or do I take the risk” and that’s terrifying. I know I’m usually a happier blog but during this time I think it’s important for us to all be a bit honest and human. Opera is not all memes and fun it’s deeply personally. When we audition and sing we are holding out our hearts with the realization that someone could crush it. It’s the most vulnerable feeling. I think as performers we don’t talk about this aspect of the craft and I want to SO for the next week please feel free to submit an audition story! It can be anonymous it can be funny it can be personal thoughts about auditioning or opera anything. I only ask that there is no insulting others or profanity because I don’t like that to be put out there. I’m not saying it can’t be negative but it can’t bring others down! Thank you all and I hope we can start a dialogue!
