Well, that seminar was only a month ago, so by that point, I already knew that anything I was going to accomplish I was going to accomplish w/o moving to NYC. We just bought a house that I love and it's not going to happen.
My big thing that I really need to focus on is making a good recording to submit to people. The conductor who hired me on the basis of my audition yesterday said that my tape came across as "strident." And I'm not a strident singer - my most recent review said that I had a soft-edged voice (sorry, Isabelle!) that was capable of power and filling a room.... but my tape is clearly crappy. So I need to invest in a good tape...
Thanks again.... off to do the Mozart Requiem on a suspension bridge 10' above the stage (and me with my acrophobia!!) with the Milwaukee Ballet (not as a soloist, just a section leader) ...
