Important question about my future.... FBI or should i pursue a singing career? (video included)?

Question

Im going to college in a week... and im signed up as a criminal justice major. I have always loved law enforcement and want to either be a forensic scientist or an FBI agent. My question is should i change my major to theatre? or music? im definitely minoring in vocal performance but should i major in theatre? I have been singing for 11 years and its definitely my passion... i know some of you have seen my videos but im going to post them again lol

the only thing is, if i go into law enforcement, im guaranteed to make a living. As a theatre major, i dont know where i'd be. I don't even know if im good enough to even think about it... please help me?

Answer 1

I'm in theater and girl you have some great potential. You def. have a broadway voice, No doubt!!! I say persue it! Go to New York audition. And as far as law enforcement goes, you have plenty of time. Follow your heart and if it doesn't work out you can always go back to law enforcement.  GOOD LUCK!!! I'm sure i'll be seeing a lot of your talents in the future!

Answer 2

You are a talented young lady. I watched your "Privilege To Pee" video-I was afraid if someone so young could belt those notes but believe me-you pulled it off quite well!

However, you say you love singing, but do you act? Do you dance? Those are definitely necessary skills for a major in musical theatre. You have to have an appreciation for all acting and communicating on stage. Only having good voice will not get you very far.

You have to think you are good for the entertainment industry, because if you get rejected for a show, you just go on to the next one. Then the next one and so on. You have to absolutely positively be 100% committed to theatre to get by, not caring about where you are and what kind of money you make.
