I was talking to my friend, Heather, about introverted performers. I told her more likely than not that a person that walks out on stage is more than likely an extrovert.
She directs plays.
She said that there is some truth to that, but I would be surprised.
I’m having a conversation with a different lady.
I was having a conversation with someone extremely introverted. Aside from her husband, I am the only person that I see her really conversing with.
We happen to be alone and I let her listen to Gina singing.
Women with voices I find to be beautiful can make me cry.
She listens intently. She is very complimentary and starts explaining the ranges Gina is best at. I realize she knows how to sing too.
The lady I’m speaking to used to be an athlete. I think hearing Gina triggered her inner competitor. She looks at me and tells me not to tell anyone that she can do this. She doesn’t want to perform for others. She knows people will badger her to sing and I was about to find out why.
She starts belting out a song from Les Mis. No warmup. She is stellar. It’s one of the best voices I’ve ever heard. She didn’t sing long enough to get tears, but if she kept going I’d have been raining on the floor. She has performed in Les MIs onstage. I never knew she acted.
Turns out she was a ballerina too.
I would never think an introvert would be capable of doing what she can do in front people.
