Off to Chicago
Tomorrow Cara and I will be boarding the plane to Chicago. This is going to be one grand adventure. Once we leave I will not have any time to practice, just time to look over my music one last time. I am as ready as I can be and hopefully my best is what they are looking for.
That idea, hoping my best is what they are looking for, is one that has only dawned on me in the past few days. After numerous auditions, some eventful and some I never heard from, I realize that I do my best at each one. My level of performance doesn't change. Some can hear me and think I have a great big voice that is perfect for Puccini. Others can hear the same thing and think that I should be singing lighter rep for many more years before touching the 'heavy stuff'. What I do will never change someones mind on what they like or what they perceive as being the 'right' sound. So, I will go to my audition on Saturday and sing exactly the way I know how. It is my hope that Chicago is looking for my sound, because that is all I have to give and it is out of my hands if they aren't. That does not mean they don't like what they hear, just that it was not what they were looking for.
On a side note I will be doing a live Twitter session starting tomorrow to chronicle this big audition. See you there!
