Well I started college as a Vocal Performance Major.
Obviously theres a lot of adjusting to do. But one thing I do know, I do NOT want to loose the humanity in my singing. I realize that my voice may be a little breathy, nasally, etc. sounding. But thats what makes me HUMAN. Such classical training at my college gives robotic voices without feeling/soul. That is so important to me. I also realize that if I start from a solid foundation then I can sing however I want/be able to grow more....than if I just winged my music career on my own. Now, I hear way too many singers who sing void of emotion. I dont care if their faces are ecstatic with expression, thats just an act. I dont care if it honestly LOOKS like they care about what they're singing, if they did-their VOICE would match their FACE.
PLANS:
ONE ridiculous one. Move to Chicago and play on street corners. I think it would be an awesome way for me to be unafraid to put myself out there. I wouldn't know anyone so I wouldn't care what they think about me and my music.
TWO more practical one-be a voice teacher. I think the reason my career is so...difficult to decipher is because the less mature side of me wants to be free-Freelance!!!! And the smart, adult-side says "No, be studious. be practical." But which one should i do?! Both paths have so many pros and cons. I think I would learn the most from being a freelancer.....Honestly, I dont want to end up in the same town, same group of people, same church UNTIL IM 80. I mean really ,I guess there's comfort in commonality. but I WANT CHANGE. I feel like Im a leader and I could instigate so much change and, for example, start a church where it's needed!! I dont think God put me in my city to stay there and not reach out like i KNOW I CAN. Its like a spiritual gift thats being stiffeled and i hate it!! My parents would absolutely never agree. In fact they would probably kick me out of the house. They just dont understand. (And thats not coming from the immature teenager.)Thats coming from an intellectual human being who is trying with everything I have to look at ALL aspects of this situation.
IN CONCLUSION: I over-analyze.
Bonjour...
