This past spring/early summer, I received an email from a producer on The Voice.
Yes, for real.
She invited me to their private auditions in a nearby city. I was in total disbelief at first, and so were all the people I called screaming through the phone, “GUESS WHAT?!” I remember thinking to myself, this could be actual destiny happening to me right now! It was wild, seriously. The idea. Complete insanity.
I remember taking the two hour drive down weeks later. I’d selected three songs like the instructions had said and had a FaceTime rehearsal with my accompanist at the hotel the night before the big day.
