karen,
i once had a job in a bookstore run by a guy who had a phd in ancient languages. he told me once, he thought that when he got his phd, the gates of heaven would open and pour endless oppurtunities on him. it never happened. i don't think he realised that the only job in the field, that probably ever existed, was held by his advising professor (what else would he have done? translate at trials for criminals who have been reincarnated?). it sounds like you have altered yourself from being a singer who has oppurtunity, into a singer who has a lot less.
can you not vary the weight of your voice for different styles? if your technique is really good, you should be able to do anything you were ever capable of. perhaps you should explore widening your versatility so that you can have all the oppurtunities you always had as well as the new ones you hadn't had before.
