Feel invisible — even when I try

Don't get paid enough or at all!

✨Q16. What would be wildly thrilling to experience or create next? *

Doesn't need to be a grand plan. But let your imagination go wild - nothing is too 'out there'...

THIS is the major problem! I have no idea...

Secretly, I have a few VERY exciting ideas and ambitions - but I'm not sure if they are actually possible

I just don't think my singing is good enough

I'm very happy with what I'm doing now - it just lacks something a little special and I need help fixing that

✨Q18. What aesthetic/atmosphere would suit your world as a singer?

You may not have considered your singing in this way. If you are stuck, think about the last thing that utterly thrilled you: a song, an exhibition, a speech, a show, a book, a film. There are NO wrong answers. For example: Many people love the whimsical worlds of film director Wes Anderson — built through colour, set design, and quirky characterisation. Some more examples: →Using Black-and-White Photography (moody stillness) →Using Mid-century Mad Men influences (smoking and subtext) →The stories of the Pharaohs and Cleopatra (ancient Egyptian style) →Desert California atmosphere (mirage dreaminess and motel lighting) →Jane Austen English Culture (manners, language and suppressed longing) →Cold War Berlin life (spycraft and existentialism) →The Devil Wears Prada (ambition and Armani) →Marie Antoinette’s Versailles (opulence and oblivion) →Three Musketeers Era (wit, charm and flashing steel) 👉"I have no idea!" is a valid answer!
