The director pleaded with Doolittle not to let a peep of noise come out of her mouth but to mouth the words and smile. For a time Doolittle was content to oblige, but her desire to have a voice that would make people stop and listen when she sang drove her to perform in the talent show at her youth group in 7th grade. When I walked onto the stage I heard the music start, I closed my eyes and opened my mouth and a different voice came out. Miraculously she sang with perfect pitch that night and brought down the house.
She then realized that her life could be much bigger than she realized. From that point on not only could Doolittle sing but she could hear harmonies. To achieve her dream of moving people with music, Doolittle began setting and systematically reaching her goals, such as obtaining a music degree from Belmont University in Nashville, TN, and singing background vocals for many of artists like Michael McDonald and CeCe Winans. Life has offered Doolittle many opportunities to face her fears.
Her senior year at Belmont, her voice teacher, Sandra Dudley, encouraged her to audition for the Commercial Music Showcase. The Music Showcase is a full scale event with professional lighting, sound and numerous music industry representatives attend each year.

They told Grace Kinstler that she needed to figure out the type of songs she wants to sing while they praised Casey Bishop for being able to sing anything, just as an example. Grace has to choose exactly what she wants to do. Chayce can win by singing the same song.
Madison should choose songs everyone knows. Alyssa should not. Doolittle said it was fitting that this reunion show is taking place during this time of year because this is typically when auditions were held.
But every good thing has to come to an end. I am proud of the legacy they created. The show helped set a precedent for the music industry and other shows that followed in its footsteps, such as NBC's "The Voice," she said. It has created a culture of people supporting talent. It's like they bought stock by voting. They believed in you then, and they continue to believe in you now. That's pretty incredible," Doolittle said. Doolittle has been touring heavily over the last couple of years, including symphony shows during the holidays.
She has also recently released a book, along with her two albums, and has dreams of performing on Broadway one day.
