-: My name is Ann Michaels,
and I am a performer for a living.
The fact that I was a singer, and that, you know,
I worked on opera, I sing jazz,
and I sing musical theater, and the fact that I could sing
all those different kinds of music
helped me get more jobs.
So the more skills you have in your pocket,
the more likely you are to actually land a job.
The fact that I can walk on my hands has gotten me
more jobs than I can say.
Which sounds ridiculous, but it's like,
who can be upside down, pick Ann Michaels, she can do it.
So I think that's important,
just keep learning, keep growing.
