SO, I was waiting in line ready to do my song I had prepared (Imagine My Surprise from Personals) when I realized that my cut was VERY long and nowhere close to 32 bars... I decided to sing the song I've been working on in my Build Your Book class instead (Lay Down Your Head from Violet).
Now I like singin' it, but have this crazy mental block with some of the high notes. (I've got the notes, but the vowel placement is weird and when I sang it in college I didn't have all the notes -- blah, blah, blah - now I can sing it, but can't seem to muster belting the whole middle section without a great sense of anxiousness when I reach the top notes.)
But I sang it, it went OK. (the piano player did a great job- he's very talented!)
I was so pissed at myself when I came out of the room, read the breakdown & realized that they wanted a spunky & energetic ex-cheerleader type!!! D'oh!
And here I'm singing a freakin' lullaby! Go figure! (I should've sung "Born to Fly" - as they were looking for a pop/folk sound!)
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda.... the story of my life!
But I must leave that now - there will be other auditions tomorrow and hopefully I'll start to feel better soon! (singing with a sinus infection is not fun - I sound like Fran Drescher most of the time!)
On a positive note I've been playing Oregon Trail for the past half hour at work - so that's unproductive and fun! :)
Until next time, I remain your (stuffed up, mucinex loving) blogger
