No, it's not bad. Whatever inspires you to work hard is a good thing no matter what. But are you interested in k-pop just because it seems similar to idol culture? You might want to research it some more. It's not really that similar.
By the way, I don't mind accepting you into one of my regular classes. But I won't go easy on you.
Hmmm, I think I want to try everything. Idol culture is what I remember... but already I think I am different from the Anya that was there. There is no way that we could be the exact same? After all, I did not know Russian until now. So even if I was an idol then... I want to take every opportunity now.
You say you want to try everything, but you have to start somewhere.
Have you decided what you want to focus on in the beginning? Overextending yourself won't get you anywhere, so it's better to focus on few things at first. I'm not saying you only have to choose one thing, but give it some thought before deciding.
Hmm... I tried Romeo and Juliet, but I'm not comfortable acting yet. I have another friend who is helping me with modeling... but that is also something a little bit more on the side. It has been fun to try but I prefer performing with singing and dancing, like during the pageant!
Should I be even more specific?
[she's like a sponge she will take literally any piece of advice at this point]
I would like to be on a stage again. There are some people that I want to take care of - so if there would be a way to get some money, I would like that too.
It's funny that now I have all the words but I'm still not sure how to say what I want but.... if there was a way that I could do this, to achieve the potential that people tell me I have, without wasting anyone's time... That's what I want the most.
OK. You might want to look into talent agencies to see if that's helpful for you, or if you'd rather do things on your own and find your own work and music independently. We actually work with a couple of those at the Studio, but not everyone likes following a set path.
What kind of music do you want to sing and dance to?
[ ...He should probably ask if her parents are aware of all this, but when did he even think of taking his parents into consideration? Never. The answer is never. ]
Even now... I am still learning what the different kinds of paths are. I think I will start looking into talent agencies too. I will ask Honoka too. I am lucky - there are people with a lot of experience before me to learn from.
As much as I love classical and jazz... I think pop is the style where I'll be able to reach people best.
A vocal coach might be helpful too, if you want to look into that.
[ I think it's important to note that when Anya mentions the K-pop thing, he chuckles silently before replying. ]
I was going to recommend jazz and hip-hop, so I'm glad you're already working on that. Anyway, many k-pop choreographies need that basis, and Yuuri's great at both.
Isn't he? Mr. Katsuki is so good at what he does, I wish we could see him dance for himself more instead of just teaching. Even though we are also lucky to have him as a teacher?
Oh, me too, me too! I told him that I hope that he can achieve his dreams of being a k-pop one day too... or whatever it is that he wants to do? If it's Mr. Katsuki, I think he can do whatever he puts his mind to.
[ But yes, Anya might be a good influence for Yuuri. ]
When are you starting? After a few weeks with Yuuri, you might be able to join another one of my classes if you have the time. That will depend on the kind of things you work on and your progress, though.

no subject
Date: 2017-04-09 08:06 am (UTC)Yes! Ah... I had thought that it was silly to chase after a dream like that... but it's made me happier. So it cannot be that bad?
[yeah realtalk it just unlocked a lot of potential it's a little scary]

How many classes are you taking now?
no subject
Date: 2017-04-10 06:13 am (UTC)Still ballet everyday. Workshops outside. Vocal lessons outside of choir. But only two regularly....
