| Thanks! To give you more info., I'm a jazz guitarist. I've acted and performed in theater all my life (leading role in school plays, community theater, which I know doesn't say a ton), and have also played guitar for a long time, with a lot of attention to that as well (all state jazz band guitarist last year, NEC prep program, etc...). The thing is, when I perform music, I don't often get that "rush" feeling, that tingly feeling all over my body thinking it's the most wonderful thing ever, when I perform on guitar. I'd much rather compose, but I need a strong composition department with good players.
I do get that feeling when I act and perform, specifically, but not limited to, in MT. I would pursue becoming a professional in the acting field while playwriting and composing music (I know that'd be a tough life, but I have to do what I love). I don't, though, think that I'm as good at performing in MT as I am on the guitar, but maybe that's because I'm really self critical of my voice. I would be happy in the end being a high school band director, although there aren't a lot of high school teaching jobs solely in theater.
I would prefer East Coast; I live in MA. I'll look into those suggestions. Thanks! |
