Plans A-C
CROSSPOSTING TO PLAN C AT LAST!
You may have noticed – if you cared – that I have not been posting at Plan C lately. I had only just gotten started at it when Plan A (“Become famous opera star”) suddenly, and without my doing anything really, came to life again.
Well, now that those projects are over I’m back out in the outer darkness where there is some very tuneful wailing and, if there is gnashing of teeth, we are sure to wear our Doctor’s NightGuardsTM, and once again I am faced with choices about what to do with the rest of my life.
So do I, after a taste of success, go back to Plan A and devote myself to auditioning, practicing, coaching, and generally increasing my fabulousness until I burst onto the international scene? Or do I resume work on Plan C and make my own superstardom?
I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days, and the answer is: Both.
Both.
There is absolutely no reason why I can’t be both a superfamous opera singer and an independent self-producing artist.
In fact the two plans might help each other. I learned a lot as a singer and an actor from both of the productions I was just in, which will make me perform better in the opera project I’m doing this fall. Just like I learned other valuable things about singing from the work I’ve done with the PRO, things that I could (and did) apply to my classical singing to make it more emotional and expressive.
Since I still have to work to earn my living, this means working a hell of a lot, at least for the near future, but that’s OK. Now I am off to buy finger puppets for the Tammy Faye opera.
