 This is me interviewing Rebecca Wright. Here is the script. M=Me R=Rebecca M "Hello my name is Sylvie MacLean, and i'm here interviewing Rebecca Wright. So Rebecca, What inspired you to sing?" R "Well when I was younger, my dad used to write a lot of music, and so I was actually forced to sing! And I really didn't want to because I was shy. So the only thing that really inspired me to sing was the bribe of getting a puppy!" M "What did you do to achieve you goal?" R "Well um.. When I decided that singing was what I wanted to do, I started doing lessons, and dance lessons and all sorts of different things to try and build up my repotoire of strength I suppose. So I just decided from a young age thats what I wanted to do, and I really didnt know if I could do it or not, so i just kept plucking away I guess." M "Is there a significant person that helped yoou to achieve your goal?" R " Ohh.. A significant person. Theres many I think, theres lots of different teachers that I went to for singing lessons. Just watching other people, in the country make a career out of it, it really keeps you going, because its hard, its a very diffucult profession, to make a living out of so, anyone in the industry is quite significant, in helping you keeping going." M "Were there any obsticals you had to overcme?" R "Ohh yes. For me my personalitiy goes against the grain of a performer, because im actually quite the inntrovertive and shy. So that was hard, and what i've worked on since I was little, trying to get over myself!" M "What have you done in you singing carrear so far?" R "Well I started musical theatre when I was about seven, and then I started singing professionally, when I went to university, just to pay my bills! So I worked in bands and things, and lots of shows. Most recently Starlight express so I had to learn to rollerskate and all that bunisess. So anything that comes along, in the country I will audition for." M "Is there a special person that helped you to achieve your goal?" R "Theres so many! Theres a lot of people singing wise, that I look up to. And there's lots of singers from overseas, like broadway that I think are amazing and so i've kind of modeled my voice on them, because im a bit of an imitator. Just anyone here, i've got to work with people like Tina Cross and all those women who have been doing it for years, thats really inspiring." M "Ok Thank-you."
