Getting paid to betray my beliefsAnyone who knows me knows that I generally dislike the various religious sects of the land.
I was born and raised an Atheist, and I thank my parents whole-heartedly for it.
This is not a post about how dumb said people are though.
I got offered a chance to audition for a job. A job that sponsors me for 1000$ worth of singing lessons. It's also an awesome opportunity because I would get to lead the tenor section of a choir. I would essentially get to be the section leader, something that I have always craved but have been robbed of.
I would be required to go to Church on Sundays to sing, and rehearsals on Thursday from October to April. Once a month, I would be required to sing a solo.
This would be a dream job for me if it wasnt for the subject matter that I would have to sing about.
To me, absolute BullCrap.
Its a frustrating proposition, because it would allow me to save alot of money and probably get away with the hours that I get right now at my work(which btw also sucks).
On the one hand, I would feel like I was generally wasting my time with my Voice Teacher as we work on this stuff. While the technique will be there, I will be working on useless and boring repertoire. Even though the rehearsals/sermons(?) will only be an hour long, it involves about an hour and a half travel time, not to mention waking up and getting ready.... and it doesnt look like I will be able to hide behind the beauty of foreign words. Not to mention that I will probably have to endure sermon after sermon, battering away at my convictions.
On the up side, I get a leadership role, chance for solos(development, not ego), I get to pursue something I love and it will help me get future jobs both as a performer and as a general employee.
I guess what I will have to figure out is if I can endure it. If not, I will probably quit it. Let's just hope that my teacher has the brains not to mention that possibility.
