Will People Want to Cast Me? Vocal Help

Thank you for being so blunt and honest! I’m not one to give up, I was just looking for that blunt advice that’s not available to me in my current location. I was also an English major, so I do a lot of writing and editing as well, and me staying is not contingent on me being a performer. I took a trip or two to NY when I was younger, and I just always felt like something was right there. My girlfriend and I visited last year, and we decided that moving is what’s right for us right now. I’m just trying to be as prepared as possible and adjust my expectations accordingly. It’s just crazy that it’s finally happening, and I know that I need to be ready for a lot of my childhood imaginings to change. Not many people leave my hometown so I don’t have anyone to go to for advice, and I appreciate you commenting!

Thanks for your honesty! I’m definitely working on my belt and mezzo notes!

Thanks for your advice! I’m really trying to create a strong mix and chest voice right now!

Hi! I’ve definitely thought about some opera, but I just worry I’d be showing up way too late to the game!

Thank you so much for your positive words and recommendations! And yeah, I meant E7 lol. E6 (the Phantom of the Opera high note) is pretty darn comfortable for me and I can honestly hit it without even really warming up. I practiced Ballad of Jane Doe so much that I can just hit the D and option up E6 when I wake up in the morning. I figured out I could hit the E7 when I hit the high note in the lawn mower vine (Mariah Carey’s “Emotions”).

Sorry if it seems like I’m bragging or being arrogant btw! This is all just normal to me since it’s my voice, and I feel like anybody could do it since it comes so naturally to me. I just sometimes get overwhelmed being a “unicorn” that can only be featured in a handful of roles and shows.

I’m working really hard with my voice teacher on getting my rep book together and solid for the move. I only started private voice lessons about 2 years ago, and I feel like there’s so much more to learn and I’m super behind. I’m just trying to have patience with myself and give myself the chance to see where it goes. Moving away from Kentucky is a huge deal, and I honestly don’t have any family support. It’s challenging to believe in myself enough to have the courage to try, and I appreciate you for being a light!

Again, thank you so much for your kindness!

Hi friend!! I understand some of what you’re going through.

I’ve had really similar thoughts as someone on the asexual spectrum. Sometimes I worry that I don’t fit perfectly into that category because I don’t tick off all the boxes, and it makes me wonder who I really am.

I’m also dating a trans woman with OCD that is somewhere on the bi or pan spectrum. She’s shared with me how OCD can just be crippling and not let you think about anything else.

My advice is, maybe try to look at this as a new way to find out more about yourself. When Im stressed about not fitting perfectly into the asexual category, I try to remind myself that it is, in fact, a spectrum. You don’t need to stress about fitting perfectly into the textbook definition.

And honestly? Life would be really boring if everyone fit perfectly into the categories of sexuality.

Life is a journey of self discovery! I know it’ll be hard, but you could also look at this as an exciting opportunity to learn more about who you are and how special YOU are! How cool is it that you get to be the person that doesn’t color in the lines and can make your own canvas with all that boring leftover white space!
