Training for singing requires long hours of practice to attain perfection. How do you go about prioritizing your day?
Myra Melendez:
One thing I love about not having a 9-5 is that everyday turns out different for me. I am an actress, singer, model, songwriter. I always plan to knock out the priority goals that I need to complete for that month. I try to limit as much distraction as possible. I currently don’t own a television. I know that for me that would be a distraction. For example, when I am working on a commercial and my day is mostly filled with acting. I will practice vocal rehearsals in the car, and when there’s downtime on set. Prioritizing my day it’s not waste time on stupid things, and distractions.
Namita Nayyar:
Who has been your greatest influence and motivator in your success in the field of your career?
Myra Melendez:
My mom has been an amazing motivator. She is businesswoman who is constantly working, investing in new things, and creating new ideas. She doesn’t stop. I think that’s where I get my work ethic from. I’ve taken her advice on life and businesses decisions. She has always supported me in anything I do. The career choices I’ve made most parents aren’t always that supportive. I am grateful to have that.
One of my influences has been Selena. I relate to her a lot. She accomplished so much in her life and I know she would’ve conquered the world. She pave the way for women like me. We are both bilingual and we are women in an industry that is still very much saturated by men. I am so happy to see more women and bilingual singers coming into this industry now.
