Project Icarus- Journal #1

-Performing, doing what I love and making people happy, busy schedules, quick changes, back to back shows, rehearsals, costumes, lights, hair, make-up, props, sets, microphones, playing a character, dancing, singing, my passion is Musical Theater.
-Some of the resources I will use for my learning are directors, professional performers, interviews and specials on TV about broadway or famous broadway stars, video clips on youtube. Excluding the interviews and tv specials, everything is pretty much accessible to me whenever I need it. I currently work with directors and people who have performed on braodway (i would create an appointment to speak with them) & youtube is always there for video clips :)
-The questions I want answered are:
1)What characteristics & talents do I need?
2)At what caliber should my singing and dancing be before getting into show business?
3)At what age can I really start to have a profession in Musical Theater?
4)What kind of look do I need to have, especially for these roles (Elphaba, Kim, Belle)
5)Whats the difference from an actual New York show and a community theater show?
6)How will my life change after getting a big role/any role in a broadway show?
7)Is a college degree necessary?
-To me, it's hard to really see what else I can do to take action because I already do what I love now as a teen. I take part in musical theater shows around the island. I would like to maybe try and instruct a vocal lesson or dance class or teach other kids what it takes to be in musical theater at the studio I take dance classes at. I think that is one action I can take but thats more for what I plan to do after. As for my goal and passion for being on broadway and performing, I could keep doing more shows?
