Career Change?

One of my coworkers recently asked me, "Do you sing?"

"Not even in the shower." (Probably partly because of that time I was singing in the shower in high school and my little sister started pounding on the door, begging me to stop the torture).

"Because if you sing, you would have the perfect alto voice. It has a very nice quality."

Surprisingly, it's not the first time I've heard this comment.

There was a cabbie one time who insisted that I sing for him while he was giving me a ride. After 5 minutes of begging, I actually did sing. I figured, "I'm never going to see this guy again, I might as well prove him wrong..." And at the end of the ride, he gave me his digits and made me promise that I would call him in 3 days after practicing. I "lost his number" almost immediately after getting out of the cab.

And when I was a lifeguard in high school, one of the pool dads suggested that I go into broadcasting or read books on tape.

So my coworker suggested that if I ever want a career change, I should definitely consider being a professional narrator. It sounds like it could be a pretty glamorous lifestyle. Wouldn't that be great, for people to have no idea who you are until you speak and they're like, "OH MY GOD!!! I know you!!!"

I don't think I'll be the next David Attenborough, but I can dream....
