The First of many.

So, it's coming to the end of the trip, and unfortunately this is my first blog...  There has been so much that has happened, and it's wonderful that I've had this experience!  First rule of thumb, either bring a computer that is able to connect to an internet connection, or don't wear yourself out as much at night so you just crash into bed! Something simple that slips my mind.

So here is an overall lesson that I've come to notice with all of our masterclasses and meetings with actors, singers, coaches, emerging artists, and everyone else: the most important thing one could do to make it in New York is to be patient while dedicated to continuing on this path. There will be hardships to overcome, but the persistence needed is key.  Also, in order to "make yourself known" to others is to be normal along with showing your personality -- either in your aria selection or dance selection.

And the most basic element that you can have is being true to yourself.  You have to know yourself the best out of everything you have.  Because if you don't believe in yourself, you cannot sell yourself in this industry.

All of these previous statements were reiterated by everyone that I've met with, whether they are just emerging artists or working artists at a higher level.

So signing off for the night! We leave for Wisconsin early tomorrow morning.  I will be posting more from my notes later this weekend!
