晨读756期｜号称“唱功天花板”的亚当·兰伯特，到底是什么来头？

Adam Lambert was born in 1982 in Indianapolis, Indiana, before moving with his family to San Diego when he was still a baby. Even as a youngster, Lambert envisioned himself becoming an entertainer. "I had just started falling in love with musical theater when I was 10," Lambert said in an interview with The Hot Desk. At that age, he scored the role of Linus in a local production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."

That experience spurredhim to undertake voice training while appearing in more stage musicals throughout his teenage years. When he was 19, he landed a job singing on a cruise ship. He credits that gig with preparing him for a future in show business. "I was so young ... I was so green— I hadn't been through a lot of professional stuff yet, so it was good for me to do a show that long and sing songs so many times over 10 months," he told The Hot Desk.

这段经历促使他在青少年时期接受声乐训练并出演更多舞台音乐剧。19岁时，他在一艘游轮上找到了唱歌的工作。他认为这份工作为他未来的演艺事业做好了准备。他告诉《The Hot Desk》：“我当时非常年轻……我还很青涩——还没有做过什么专业的事情，所以做一个持续这么长时间的表演，并在10个月内唱了那么多次的歌曲，对我来说是很好的锻炼。”
