Are you an adrenaline junkie?

I find a lot of singers are adrenaline junkies, so they like to not prepare, and they like to be late, and they like to sing things that they're actually struggling with, where the high note is touch and go. Again, not a good idea. If you're up for jobs, you need to be incredibly confident, and you need to make sure that you know your song inside out, a week in advance of the audition. You need to have at least eight to twelve songs in your audition portfolio that you know inside out, that are ready to go, one in every category. With the pop singers, because I do teach quite a lot of singer-songwriters and pop singers, a lot of them don't look after themselves physically. They take too many drugs, they have too many late nights, they end up suffering from acid reflux. They put themselves through emotionally incredibly stressful, damaging relationships, so that their real aim in their career is always pushed to the side because another drama happens, another break-up, another overdose, whatever it is. They drink too much, they smoke too much, they do all sorts of things to sabotage their talent. Music
