I hope success is based on how much you have to overcome first. As we try to get this demo done by the end of May, more and more obstacles get thrown in our path.
One singer believed she wasn’t right for the part and suggested another singer, who, while talented, has been difficult to obtain auditions from.
Most of the singers we audition have wonderful voices...for other styles of music.
Another singer was perfect for one role, so we assumed that he’d be perfect for another. We had him come into the studio, and we were wrong. His voice, while excellent, was not suited for the role. We had to pay him anyway, of course. More time and cash lost.
One of the singers we’re working with lives in Venezuela. English is not his first language, but his voice is absolutely amazing. And now, today, I received an email from him. His tonsils were just removed and now as a result of the operation, he’s even more sick and will be out of commission for about a MONTH.
Sometimes it seems like this will never happen.
This is the huge downside to collaboration--you put your baby in a stranger’s hands. Once you rely on other people, your project is no longer entirely in your control.
