Singing? Where do I go from here?

Question:

Singing? Where do I go from here?

Is it true that it's hard to become a famous soprano?

Like, I know there are many of us out there, but really can I make a living out of it? And is it worth pursuing, because darn it I love to sing! I'm 13 right now, and have a wonderful teacher.

I did my grade 6 music exam last year and did well, and I've done a couple of gigs, and been in a few shows? Is there anything that's imperitive to being successful, besides studying a lot.

Yes, I do play piano, at a grade 3 leval, and I'm doing my grade 1 theory. Anything else that I'm missing a step in the puzzle? I'm thinking about getting a business card together?

Is this to rushed or should I wait until I'm older?

Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for your good suggestions.. I actually do have private voice lessons and I found my voice teacher on the NATS website..

Thanks! And I love listening to Opera, however I'm still looking for a soprano that I love to listen to? I like Rene Flemming, but everyone does, does anyone have a favorite opera singer they'dd like to share with me?

Thanks for everyone's truly amazing advice!
Yes, I am also a dancer and I have years of acting training and experience, well I guess in my case is 4 years, I'm also involved in many shows year round and find myself a little on the too busy side but I love it!

I don't think I can pick my favorite answer I'm going to let you guys do that. I'm not going to decide because I think each answer was well thought out and well given.

Thanks!
