Graduating spring class of 2022. This is your time. Remember, success is a journey, not a destination. Follow your heart, follow the fun because you never know what is right around the corner.
It's an adventure. Have fun, be safe physically, but try not to play sing. If you fall, get up or lay there. Or lay there and then get up.
Artists have been at the forefront of this cultural renaissance that demands not just entertainment, but truth unvarnished and uncomfortable. We want to see ourselves reflected as we are as we live.
Everyone's always like how can I change the world? Or just inside AMDA how can we change the world? I couldn't tell you how many times people came to Color Purple and had their life changed.
I graduated from AMDA *mumbles* years ago. And I have never once stopped being a student. My first gig out of AMDA was playing Marine and the national tour of Rent and I found out I booked the job the same week I graduated actually.
Four years from the time that I auditioned in high school to get into Miss Saigon on Broadway because of all the training I did at AMDA all the singing the voice lessons the dossiers, all the classes.
Your dream won't wait. History has its eyes on you. The reason why that that lyric is so powerful is because it's true.
This might sound crazy, but your worst days or your best days. Your worst days are paying for the blessing to come. Don't throw away your shot.
