The Making of Opera Singer...

Before I came to Converse, I was still the same crazy person that you know today, with the exception that I spent a lot of time at work and taking my siblings wherever my parents wanted me to. Any free time I had was spent researching, listening to, and practicing anything I could for voice. Opera has always fascinated me, but I got obsessed with it during my senior year. My love for music was strong in high school and I took every opportunity possible to be involved. During my time at Converse, I have only grown to love my art even more. I have learned to take every opportunity available because you may not have it again. I have learned I still need to practice as much as I did before if not more. My voice teacher has influenced me even more because she pushes me so hard. I have also learned that my time will be consumed by music, however, I do not hate it. I actually love that I can be around music 24/7 because that was not an option in high school. My biggest goal is to sing in The Metropolitan Opera House as one of the lead soprano roles. I absolutely love singing opera and being in such a prestigious opera house would be wonderful. I plan to get there by getting all of my degrees( B.M, M.M, and D.M.A) in Vocal Performance. I also plan to network as much as possible to get my name out. I will strive to be the best in everything I do too!
