Yesterday Sok and I went to singing lessons and it was neat as always. Although my cough is still not gone so voice still has some yuckiness. Anyway we got talking to the singing teacher and she was saying we are doing well and I was saying I would like to perform in a show or something and she said maybe we could audition for the Gilbert and Sullivan Society if we like G&S (who doesn't?). I was a bit flabbergasted. Are we good enough for that? Really? Apparently we would be good enough for their chorus anyway. We are definitely better than Average!! HURRAH!
It's hard for me to believe, because people have said to me that I have a nice voice (my teacher says I have a unique tone, so different -not bad- than most other people) but I used to sing with The Soprano. I mean this girl was awesome, perfect pitch, lovely tone and really focussed on music. SO when people told me I had I good voice, I was all....ah... have you heard HER?? Sok had a similar experience I believe.
Anyway our singing teacher said that if we were really interested in performing then she would tell us when competitions and auditions were coming up and we were....ah... competitions.... I don't think so. See I have a problem, on stage, alone, singing... my voice shakes like crazy. It's terrible! I can't compete! She said that competing would be good for me then as it would help me get over the nerves, but the shame!! Same with auditions the shaky voice can't be good. brrrr. Anyway I will try to get over this. Will be doing a mini performance for a reflection at school (mini staff meeting/prayer time in the morning) so that will be one chance to try.
I love performing, shows will be cool fun cause the singing AND dancing AND "acting", so hopefully I shall be getting into some and then forcing my friends to go and watch them.
PS Beau was sooo cute this morning. I just can't contain the sickly love, sorry!
