Aren't you amazed at how many kids don't want to accept the fact that it takes HARD WORK to become professional singers! It's like they look at you or even sometimes respond in disbelief when you give the reality of the business. They only see the glamour. It takes training, hustle, determination, constant practice, disappointments, struggle, times where you want to give up but you don't, sacrifice (a big one), and love for the art. I knew it took work to become a professional singer before I started this journey, which is why I contemplated for a while if this is what I REALLY wanted to do. Now many at that age don't even think about it. They think it's just luck. I had one student a couple of years ago in another state come in for a lesson talking about "I wanna be the next Britney Spears." I was like WHY! What is the point? This same student didn't even practice in the end. Some of these kids want advice, but don't practice. Do they really think it has been an easy road for us?
