I have a passion for music in general. Whether it is listening to it or making it, I love music. I love music so much, I would do it for free for the rest of my life, if that were a choice. I watched a lecture from Benjamin Zander on Ted.com and he talks about how anyone can have a passion for classical music and how one’s passion can influence others. There are a few points in his speech that sparked my mind and my interests in my life.
One point Zander mentions is that we can’t just think about our visions step by step but we must think about the vision in the long run. I took this to heart because it feels that I have looked at my dream step by step and not looking at the whole picture. My dream is to not only share my productions, but peoples’ voices with the world.
Another point from his lecture was about the job of being an orchestral conductor. He states, “He depends, for his power, on his ability to make other people powerful.” As a producer and engineer in my company, I want my customer to feel like they have the power when I provide my services. If singers come into my studio, I want the singers to leave with a powerful product in hand. If voice actors come in my studio, I want the voice actors to leave with confidence that they have given a powerful performance. Saying this leads to another point Zander mentioned stating, “…who am I being, that my players’ eyes are not shining?” If my clients are not confident in what they are doing, then I’m not doing my job.
Although he specifically talked about classical music, but I feel that this could apply to any music genre or any passion in general. I have put in a lot of time in my education and experience to build an opportunity for others with talents in entertainment to express themselves behind the microphone. As I learn more about the industry, I hope to reach my dreams using my passion for music.
Love it
