<p>Runningwithbasses and violadad are correct. However, I’m amazed at how many people do not do anything like this. I know a young lady who says she is skipping college to go straight to Broadway. She’s surrounded by people who tell her how wonderful she is but has never done a professional show, never auditioned for any type of summer program, never auditioned for any show in which people didn’t already know her and are part of her fan club. Classic big fish in a very very small pond. I fear she’s in for a big disappointment.</p>
<p>Opera-mom, no that’s not the young lady I was talking about. Unfortunately, the videos are gone, so I can’t look at them. The one I’m talking about, I believe is billed as “The World’s Youngest Opera Singer.”</p>
