Older MT students

Bugger, am I now officially old?! but seriously. I started singing again for the first time in a few years almost 2 years ago (at 30 yrs old), and was told my voice has shifted 'upwards' somewhat. 6 months later I was singing with the WA Opera co. as a tenor. Never too late to start/restart. With that in mind, I have begun investigating a slight career change (or directional shift) into acting. Extremely scary for me after close to 15 years in a successful music career, but worth the risk I think. Just a little humble pie going from 'expert' to beginner (like the experience of being around the 20 year old girls who have been dancing for 15 years already!) And certainly, not impossible! You simply cannot beat life experience for reality on a stage I reckon. It shows up in musicians, and is just as (or more) obvious in actors. That said, our society is actually still very agist, in that we are unwilling to 'tolerate' older people (especially women) on our tele's and stages, and are constantly producing and consuming more and more youth-idolising entertainment. It is changing a little (the interest in tracy Spicer's case is one small step), but needs to be more. enough from me Nev It's the simple things stupid...
