This began his &quot;passaggio&quot; - a journey of discovery and surprise into the art of singing and the camaraderie of regional theater. Marc talks about every aspect of learning to sing in an ensemble: imposter syndrome, the need to strategize between chest and head voice, the varying roles of experienced singers and newbies, the angular view of a show you can only get from enjoying it while standing on stage. Also: advice and guidance for any amateur singers who'd like to join a local company and don't know where to start.
