Open Mic Star Sets Sights On Big Time

A local singing star is about to become an online sensation.

Nicola Cassells, 19, formerly of Auchinleck but now living in Ayr, has reached the Regional Finals of this year's Open Mic UK competition, and is in the running to secure a recording contract.

But Nicola's vocal talents are also going to be on the internet for all to see, as she has reached the last four in a national competition run by her employers, jewellers H Samuel.

A classically trained singer who specialises in opera, Nicola could be well on her way to becoming the next Sarah Brightman or Katherine Jenkins.

  I dont think she could be as Sarah Brightman, first I need listen her voice. Katherine Jenkins? no please! Her voice is so masculine.
  
  I wish Nicola have a great success in everything she does.
