I seriously suggest that you search the archives at www.vocalist.org for a short piece that I think was posted by Les Taylor (or was it Reg Boyle) concerning a racing horse called "Opera Singer". If you really want to do it, you can't compromise. I did by first studying science, and am now funding my study privately and working out how to start off on a career at the age of 29. I don't think it is too late, but I could have been quicker.
