I sing beautiful music -- primarily opera -- but I also do concert work, church music, studio/scoring sessions, and whatever other performance opportunities I can get my hands on.
I love Joyce DiDonato. Her voice, stage presence, acting and overall joy for music is an inspiration to me.
Oh many! But that's the fun of live performance. I think the one that could have been the worst is when I was singing in a concert and they didn't tell us we'd be on stage sitting for the first 45 minutes of the Beethoven 9. Usually in that concert, the soloists walk out for the last movement. I had been hydrating and they shoved us out onto the stage without any notice. Needless to say, I almost peed onstage. I was sitting directly center stage, with the audience only maybe 15 feet from me. I had a glass of water by my seat and decided that if I started peeing, I'd "spill" my water so they couldn't tell. Luckily, it didn't get so far, but I have never bowed so fast at the end of the show ever or since!
Yes and the more instruments you know, the better. I play piano, but wouldn't get paid for it. Knowing piano and guitar are very helpful. But I have been paid...and was on a Grammy Award winning recording... as a singer and also as a kazoo player. Ummm... what? It was a super random gig, but just shows that being flexible and musical is always a benefit.
Yes! I adore singing for kids and actually taught opera through Opera Improv where the kids told us what their opera was to be about. It was a blast. I've also done other in school performances that are more traditional. Kids are the greatest audiences.

Does labeling a package "fragile" actually lead to you handling it with more care?I sang in a German castle that's still lived in by the family that's been in it since the 12th century. I think that was one of my all time favorite places to sing. I loved the sense of history and intimacy it brought, with a great space with surprisingly great acoustics.
