I do not believe "self-satisfaction" is the only thing that a singer is after if they want to be recognized in the business! That oversimplifies the process! The business is simply that - business. Safe is fine, if you don't have the goods to explore a uniqueness of your own. Discovering what your voice is can allow you the freedom to choose what to do with it! If you choose to try to sound like someone else, then do that. It'll never be as good or as real. Singing for REAL takes courage. I guess that says it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399266373570613570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495622859323058834.post-44176453101583603002010-07-04T10:26:39.847-04:002010-07-04T10:26:39.847-04:00I keep rereading this, and it's all well and g...I keep rereading this, and it's all well and good if the goal is to expose and develop one's vocal talents for self-satisfaction.<br />I still believe that the reality in the business of music is that most people are looking for a voice that matches what has already been accepted as "great" because this is the safest way to go. <br />All these ruminations are fine...unless you want a job singing, or you're Pavarotti.alocksleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495622859323058834.post-50852634668562784202010-07-04T03:31:06.731-04:002010-07-04T03:31:06.731-04:00Brilliant as always, Sis!Brilliant as always, Sis!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495622859323058834.post-67400554145220843352010-07-03T20:13:40.119-04:002010-07-03T20:13:40.119-04:00PRECISELY!

It was in a class where we were considering the business end of things. I think that, sometimes, the business rewards imitation. Especially when Broadway shows are looking for replacements--I'm finding more and more that looking or sounding JUST LIKE the previous actor is sometimes more important than what an actor can bring to the role. But I think it's so important to be YOU...otherwise, in the long run, who cares if you can do exactly what Sutton Foster does? She's done it already!Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15319957218727004304noreply@blogger.com
