Thank you for your note @lovestoact Truly, my daughter would advise others that in this field, you can’t just wait for work to come to you. Get out there and create work, perform, etc. Sometimes work has come to my daughter. But a lot of other things have happened because she created work for herself.
I happen to be in NYC for a day and a half right now. Yesterday is a case in point. I saw my daughter starring in an Off Broadway show. In that particular case, she got it by auditioning for it. However, the show involves original work of hers in it. Then, following her matinee, we went onto yet another performance of hers last night at a private club where someone knew of her work and invited her to perform for the evening but it was more like an interview in front of an audience, interspersed with her performing original songs. That was more of an opportunity (paid) that came about due to creating her own work.
