Inspired by “You should be on Broadway” on xtranormal, here’s my classical singer’s take on a similar scenario I’ve experienced many a time in an attempt to explain to others what I’m doing with my life. I always do my very best to stay positive, amused, and exercise patience, when having this conversation! www.marcyrichardson.com
This is awesome. I once got the “sing something right now” request in the middle of a job interview. Talk about being put on the spot.
WASSUP YALL MY NAMES JULIAN AND I RUN A CHANNEL CALLED “TRENDNTOPICZVLOGZ” RECENTLY I’VE BEEN GAINING ALOT OF ATTENTION FROM MY FUNNY VIDEOS I ACTUALLY MADE AN XTRANORMAL SHORT CALLED “KRABBY KRABZ ADVENTURE PART 1 & 2) I KNO IT MAY SOUND STUPID BUT ITS ACTUALLY VERY FUNNY. IF U GUYS CUD TAKE THE TIME OUT TO VIEW MY CHANNEL AND OTHER FUNNY VIDEOS I WUD APPRECIATE IT THANK YOU! SUBSCRIBE!
Funny that these people spend so much time on this crap and no-one gives a shit how technically great you are XD Singing is about projecting your soul and no amount of school makes a person a great performer. There’s a reason hardly anyone listens to Opera, it’s boring and those that profess to like it are just pretending to be cultured and bette3r than everyone else but the truth is you’re a bunch of blow hards.
I haven’t watched this video..I am just advertising my own xtranormal videos I made in the comments of other xtranormal vids with a sh*t ton number of views…I just started my channel and have three vids now..will be making more very soon..right now just poking fun at the santa claus fairy tale/osama bin laden….and new years’ resolutions…and the mayan calendar..check out my channel – my next video coming “Day in the Life of a Soldier”….SUBSCRIBE!

Oh my wow… Lol. Yeah, keep telling yourself free scotch man. Free liquor is always always a good thing. People are ridiculous.
Hysterical – too true
Oh my gosh story of my life.
rofl, you should draft me a building right now!
“A Stripper in an adult nightclub” rofl
I don’t get it…
I love that you mentioned Columbus!
OMG, that is so funny, in a painful sort of way. I have had many similar conversations with people. Especially, “sing something for me”… okey-dokey, then. Sure, no problem. I’ll just whip out my pocket orchestra and set ‘em up right over here. haha.After 20 odd years in the business, while doing some sort of day job periodically to pay the bills, I can still laugh at the misconceptions about opera singers (and supposed opera singers!) Thanks for posting this. I needed a good laugh!
A girl in one of my gen ed classes: Oh you sing opera?! I do too! What’s your favorite?
Me: Hamlet, Madama Butterfly, Don Giovanni and most Handel, how about you?
Girl: PHANTOM OF THE OPERA! (BIG SMILE)
Me: You dont sing opera do you….
I am a tenor with a bachelor degree and a masters in voice performance and I endorse this video, lol. Seriously, I have had this convo more times than I can count. Without fail, I always get requests for La Donna E Mobile and I friggin hate that aria. Although, my neighbor manages a liquor store and gives me bottles of expensive single malt scotch when I sing that aria for him. He originally thought the libretto was “I’m a big pizza guy. I like my pizza pies.” I keep telling myself: free scotch
“we could all swap dresses at the audition”
This is just brilliant. Everyone who isn’t a serious musician should see this and realize how repetitive this conversation gets.
This is representative of 95% of conversations I have regarding my profession. Having had a really good laugh, I’m now feeling kinda depressed.
ROFL!!!! YES, this is EXACTLY how it goes – not just for voice, either… Thanks for posting this!!! I especially like “you should draft me a building right now.” I might use that the next time…
How many sopranos does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Three. One to screw in the lightbulb, one to pull the ladder out from under her, and one to whisper, “I knew she couldn’t sing that high . . .”
: )
@belcunto
Yes, she is, unlike your fave.
Marcy, you rock!
AND YOU STILL SUCK. Can you say stuck up, its juilliard or who cares. You can say your studies were complex but it all sounds like “boo hoo failed artist.”
This is wonderful. I have had this conversation many times, but usually only to the point where I become rude.
