thinking you're great is a new problem for you to work on.
I have no statistics to prove my point, but based on my experience, I'd say
that most singers are not plagued by thinking they are great! Remember my
story anout the master class in the 80s with Joan Dornemann, when she asked
each singer to tell one good thing about his/her voice. When all had spoken,
she observed, "Do you realize that not one single person in this room has
said, 'I have a beautiful voice'? Yet you all have one, or you wouldn't be
here." And so it was.
It seems to me that each singer's goal could be to learn to know himself as
fully as possible, in order then to work on removing any obstacles that might
be keeping him from reaching his full potential. In my book, this is a full-
time job, which is why no one has time to be telling others what to do! :)
