PROFESSIONAL CAREER CLASSIFICATION: SINGER / ACTOR
POSITION SOUGHT: I AM LOOKING FOR A LEADING CHARACTER ROLE WHERE I CAN USE MY POWERFUL VOICE; MY INSIGHT, WIT, AND CHARM (AND MY PHYSICAL PRESENCE) TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL 
Height: 6'3" (192 cm) Weight: 295 lbs (134Kg)

I am sure many of you have read resumes where a person will tell you WHAT they are and not WHO they are. In doing so, they attempt to create this imaginary identity around their career. I have seen this with careers such as an accountant, an analyst, a therapist, a sales-man, and yes, even an executive. In the end though, that still does not answer the question of who they are.

This would be comparable to a dog barking, "I can roll over, sit, and play dead on command in three different languages! I have had three masters and fulfilled a different set of needs for each one! I am looking for a new master at this time, so anyone interested should look at my credentials and my pedigree."

This would be great if I were a dog!
However, I am not a dog! I am a man in a man's world who wants and needs the respect befitting any and all men.

So, what am I and who am I? I am a 44-year-old male singer/vocalist, who up to the last year has been living a false existence. I got lost somewhere between false friends giving bad advice and living in a community where the only worthwhile characteristic of a career was the amount of $$$ earned. I had always wanted to be able to sing, but was always trying to parrot the style of other singers (mainly due to the blind advice of others and the fact that I was searching for my own identity). I even had voice lessons all to no avail. 

But one day while singing (in Spanish) to a Diego Torres CD, I became more aware of which particular parts of the mouth are specifically utilized when speaking different languages and finally uncovered the incredible talent that is my true voice! 

I looked deep within my heart and soul and finally found the man I was looking for: The Real Me!!! 

I am Now not saying, “I want to be a singer”, but rather, “I am a singer!” and I have the talent and the drive to back it up!!!

Some people reading this may think this to be a bit superfluous and/or unnecessary in a resume. If you the reader are one of these, then you need to ask yourself if you really are living up to your full potential. 

Is this what God put you on this planet for?

I Personally think that God put me on this planet to do more than sell life insurance or massage fat people! 

I have included some of my skills and accomplishments in order to put a little detail, color and sharpness into the self-portrait I am trying to create here! 
You see, before the discovery of my voice, I had also explored other professional career avenues.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES: Learning, speaking, and writing many a foreign language is a deep passion of mine. To me it is a reminder of the times when Europe's elite frequently traveled and socialized throughout the historic cities of Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Copenhagen, Madrid, Barcelona and many more. Learning the histories, the languages, conversing with the peoples in their native tongue and experiencing their cities, geography, and customs takes me back to the days of yore and the magic that had given them their birth. 
To me this is indeed a beautiful awakening experience and also presents an opportunity to effectively portray a varying assortment of other character roles.

FORMAL ACTOR/VOICE TRAINING (OR LACK THEREOF): 
To justify my lack of a formal training / education in Theatre arts, I would like to make reference to the mystic named OSHO! 

"It does not matter whether you paint, sculpt, or make shoes; whether you are a gardener, a farmer, a fisherman, a carpenter -- it does not matter. What matters is, "are you putting your very soul into what you are creating?" Then your creative products have something of the quality of divine.
Except creativity, there is nothing divine. 

Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence. 

If you want to create, you have to get rid of all conditionings otherwise your creativity will be nothing but copying, it will be just a carbon copy. You can be creative only if you are an individual, you cannot create as a part of the mob psychology. The mob psychology is uncreative; it lives a life of drag, it knows no dance, no song, no joy; it is mechanical."

For the record, Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh) is the most prolific author on this planet with over 650 books ( 64 million words) in print. He is an enlightened mystic from India whose wisdom has impacted millions of people. Even after he left his body in 1990, Osho's teachings continue to grow and inspire spiritual seekers around the world today. He teaches us how to become a whole again, connected to Source, a more authentic human being, and someone who celebrates life passionately as well with a deep sensitivity to it.
