Growing up, I used to love performing – musical theatre especially. Even though I cannot sing, cannot dance, and can just about form a sentence. I am still a massive musical theatre nerd (the new Wicked movie was a big deal for me) and there are times where I have been tempted to get back into it as a full grown adult. But again I am reminded of the fact that I cannot sing, I cannot dance, and I am also (oddly enough) more self conscious now as an adult than I think I was as a teenager!
I feel though that I could do quite well with acting in plays – no singing, no dancing, and very little movement in general (hopefully!) – as I find I have to do a fair amount of it in my job as is. My job involves a large amount of advocating and public speaking, and I find I have the same level of nerves doing this sort of thing as I used to have before going on stage, except now my stage usually involves a court room or a seminar rather than an actual stage. But again that fear of being on a big stage in front of people always freaks me out a bit. But I guess as with everything in life, you have to suck at something in order to become really good at it.
