Dear mischief,
Aria Drama and Voice was founded by me, your principal director- Pyne K. (Payne). For years, I have guided voice actors, directors, and other creatives to set them on their journeys. To some, I am a distant memory; to others, I am the voice that shaped them. Truthfully, I never thought I would be set on the path to educate a new generation of creatives, yet fate has brought me here, to you.
When I reflect on my past as an educator of performing arts, I sometimes wonder if I broke too many hearts. But that is the nature of entertainment. Few will thrive in this industry, I have come to accept that truth. But in Aria, I have a vision for my students to be more than just a statistic. I ask that you give me your trust, and I will guide you on your journey to greatness.
To me, the arts are more than just a career. They are a way to send your message to the world. Each of you have faced challenges greater than yourself, survived hardships that brought you to your knees. Make no mistake, my dear magpies, this world is cold and cruel. So this is my wish: that one day, your message to the world will give hope to those who have none, and that those with neglected dreams will find inspiration again.
To me, you are not just creatives. You are the promise of a better future that is full of warmth and color. No matter what you do, even if one day, you forget my letter to you, at least remember this…
May heaven watch in awe.
