Stage fright - what the French call "trac" - has been the end of many a promising career. Still, he has clearly chosen a less precarious profession.

Hello John,

Can I ask you something? About Eng. tense. I notice you have used Past tense and Present tense deliberately (and very carefully, too) in the text. They all make sense. How about in one sentence, do you think tense is necessary going to be consistent no matter the circumstance?

Thanks.

Our son/stepson trained to be a counter tenor. He was excellent. But he hated being looked at on stage, something quite evident to the audience too! He is now an excellent agent for singers of all types.
