This brings to mind my current dilemma, which is what
to put on a resume when you've relatively little
experience. I have a Bachelor in Music degree, but
wasn't in the performance stream (late bloomer) so I
didn't get much on stage experience then other than
the occasional recital (and one opera chorus
experience as a cookie in Hansel and Gretel). I've
done lots of church gigs, and a few weddings and
funerals, but that's about it. Most of the resumes of
other singers I've seen list opera roles they've
performed, orchestras or opera companies they've
appeared with, etc. What should I put down that will
encourage busy conductors who have dozens of resumes
in front of them that they should listen to me?
