Brenda BraxtonGuestLeticia LatinoHostSo anybody, because that journey up to now, like I can see, I can imagine a lot of people listening in, it's like, "Yeah, well, Broadway, like that's impossible for me." Anything in terms of wisdom, uh, in terms of people that are aspiring to a career in the performing arts that they think they don't know what the, they don't have what it takes.
They're bringing people from other genres, from television and movies, things like that.
So I think it's even more important now, excuse me, to have something else in the background.
It's so funny, the other day I was, I'm working on a, a new show and someone said to me, "Well, you know what?" Uh, something like, "I'm tired of this because the money ain't right." And a, a quote came to me, "If I did this for the money, I would still be in the chorus." Because you have to do other things.
And if you take that as part of your training, because a lot of people go to school for theater and all of that, and that's good.
So yes, do all of that, but have something else that you wanna go into, whether it's marketing or, you know, especially with social media being how it is now.
But if you wanna be on Broadway, do everything you can, whether it's workshops or free, or benefits even.
Do, you know, really ensconce yourself into the whole theater, uh, ecosystem, you know?
