“I was really psyched about crooner types like Frank Sinatra or Scott Walker. Something that comes more from the stomach than the throat.

I didn't just feel like I was singing and dancing for my friends in High School. It felt like I was doing a scene and all of a sudden I started to feeling something - I started to feel emotional.” KindFeelingsKidsSchoolActingEmotionalBrotherSceneSingingHigh SchoolFirst TimeDancingTheatre Author:Patrick Wilson
