I want to get into music anonymously and not have to show my face or use my own voice, any way I can do that?

info: I am 12 years old, in seventh grade, and am female. I enjoy music and want to become a musician, but I have social anxiety and am 500% scared of being on stage. Is there any way I can get into music and possibly do shows and interact with people without having to show my face or reveal my identity. I also don't want my voice to be out there, but I struggle with collaboration. is there ANY way I can make music but fulfill all those requirements?

How to get into songwriting/music/music industry locally?

I'm planning on majoring in business and minoring in music in college. I don't have a ton of experience in either, but would appreciate any tips on how to get involved with the local business/music scene. Also ways to combine those interests. I figure it's just about taking the leap of faith and sending emails/asking questions/putting myself out there, but if you have any personal stories or experience, that'd be appreciated!

As an aspiring musician, how hard would it be for me to find my target audience if my songs encompass a broad range of genres?

I am a huge fan of music of all kinds. As I learn and grow, I'm hoping to use inspiration from a number of different forms of music, ranging from metal to funk to EDM to simple acoustic melodies. In a world where people usually find one or two genres and stick to it in fear of losing their audience, I want to find a community of enthusiasts who are fans of music as a whole.

Help! I have too many (performing arts) career interests!!?

I am a very ambitious person when it comes to what I want to do as far as my career goals. But, I have so many interests and things I want to do, that I just don't know how to either pick one (or a few), or just somehow try a bit of everything or something. Currently, I am interested in singing, acting, playing piano (solo, orchestral, accompaniment), and teaching piano/voice. I know opera combines singing and acting, so that might be an option, although I don't know how that would look with piano/piano teaching. I also think it would be really cool to be on Broadway! I could also go down the path of just focusing on teaching, and I think being a piano professor eventually would also be very interesting to me. I also could just choose between singing/acting, or piano, but that seems IMPOSSIBLE. I could never choose and abandon one of them, but I just don't know how I can make them work together. I think my main problem is that I don't know how I want my life to look like, so that's why I find it so hard to choose. If I don't do all of them, I feel like I'm abandoning opportunity in that field. Honestly, I just want to know how I could do it all if that's even possible.

How do I ensure a prosperous future of financial security for myself while maintaining my studies as a jazz artist at this age?

As a jazz musician in my first year of college, I have dedicated my entire life to studying music and performance. I have been blessed to participate in many prestigious national youth bands that have even gotten to tour the world. Even though this is great and has been extremely rewarding, I know that I need to learn how to actually make money as a musician in this world. I have many options regarding the path I can choose, but am leaning towards becoming a performer who writes her own music, tours the world, and conducts educational events along the way.

if I want to do something in the fashion industry, but also want to do something in the music industry, is there any way to do both?

I'm a seventh grader who is interested in both fashion and music. If I did end up making songs, I'd use vocaloid software (Vocaloid is a bunch of voice banks that you can make sing and there's a lot of good songs made with it!). I also love fashion, and would love a job related to fashion as well. Are there any jobs in both industries I could do at the same time?

How do I enter the entertainment industry through hard work and talent?

I want to become a director of some sort of entertainment media but I often get the sense that to even get an opportunity you have to be well connected to powerful or influential people. I know talent isn't always the most important factor to getting noticed, but, is there a way to become a leader in the entertainment industry through self made opportunities? If so, what are the most effective steps to take?

Did I start my instrument too late?

Hello! I’m interested in becoming a professional classical musician. The problem is I started playing clarinet at the age of twelve and I am currently a freshman in high school. Most successful musicians start their instruments at an extremely young age. Did I start too late to make it in the world of music? I know that practice obviously will help to remedy this, but what else can I do?
