Meet Daniel Hendrick

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Daniel Hendrick . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Daniel below.

Daniel, so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.
I think the key to keeping creativity alive is never being afraid of new challenges! . For instance, recently, I started a podcast interviewing internationally, acclaimed opera singers!.
At first thought, this seemed a bit intimidating to me, but as I floated the idea to my community the support came back a resounding YES!
This confirmed in my mind and heart that I was going in the right direction, and to proceed with boldness.
Now every Sunday I  have the wonderful opportunity to interview some of the greatest singers in the world, you can hear the interviews at DanielHendrick.com

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
What fascinates me these days is helping young singers gain healthy, productive, vocal technique that will last a lifetime. . In addition to that, I enjoy helping people who have lost their voice due to “Spasmodic Dysphonia”, (this is when individuals lose their speaking voice, and are unable to communicate with others).

Most recently, I started a profound project, interviewing international opera singers and discussing the connection between psychology and high level international singing.
During these discussions, we have the opportunity to talk about the struggles, the ups and downs, and the difficulties of becoming and maintaining an international operatic career.
Frequently, this brings to light just how difficult it is to achieve such a high level career, and provides the listeners to unique insights into the struggles that international opera singers have to face.
The podcast is called; the “Daniel Hendrick Experience”. Found at www.DanielHendrick.com

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Well, good question. The first and most important thing is “focus”.
One needs to be fully engaged with their dream and objective, almost to the point of what some people refer to as “Obsessive”. Yes be “Obsessive”

Second would be “action”.
One would benefit from setting a plan and proceeding as if it has already been achieved. This helps give focus and direction. Now, keep in mind that most of the time you’re not going to end up exactly where you thought you were going, but it is definitely going to take you closer and closer to the desired mark.

Third is “Persistence”
Never ever give up, No matter how bad things seem to be!, No matter how many people tell you you’re crazy! No matter how ridiculed you might be, NEVER EVER give up.!
Early in my career, I lost my voice and Teachers, Doctors, and even a Rear Admiral at one point told me that I was going in absolutely the wrong direction, and that I was being irresponsible!
Well, that did not deter me, and not too many years later I made my debut as Faust in Mefistofele at the prestigious Lincoln Center in New York

Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?
Well, that’s easy to answer! Frequently, there can be forces around you that seem to try to prevent you from achieving your goals!
It could be a parent, it could be a teacher. It could be a sibling, it could even be very close friends, one never knows!
But what I found was that there was always “one’ who was there for me no matter what I was going through without fail, and that person was “God” No one has ever known me better.

Through many trials and tribulations, I found myself feeling isolated, alone, and at times hopeless.
Without fail the one source that was always with me in my darkest times was ” God” no better friend and counselor can be found.
