Mini Performance Night - When You Say Nothing At All

Heyyyyyyyyyy!

Tonight was the group performance class and my awesome Tio Jorge was able to come! You'll see a full video soon but below is a link to the clip he caught after I FINISHED the song. It's me going over this one lyric that my voice teacher asked that I do with more emotion..

Check it out :)

Wasn't Half Bad!

Whew! It's done!

Strangely enough.. I wasn't super nervous before going up there!  Although, there were a couple scary moments.

First off, my voice coach tells me (in front of the huge group) that no one should pick me to go after them, as he wants me to go LAST so wrap it up and finish us off with a bang.  And then he motions hitting a ball with a ball bat.. as in.. I want you to knock it out of the park. Ummm.. what?! NO PRESSURE right??? Psh.. wrong. But somehow I was fine with it. I just sat and eagerly listened to each person go up there and just blow it out of the water.  When it was my turn to go up there, I brought him the sheet music and reminded him to play it a half step lower (since that's how the original song is recorded as well as that's how we've been practicing it).  He tells me that he didn't bring his keyboard in so he can't do that. He'll have to play it higher than usual. (He threw his back out and couldn't carry it in, understandable). But CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!

Anyway.. I sang it.. sang my heart out. Did I suck? I dont think so. Did I kick ass? Meh.. I could have done better..

Here's a snapshot:

I watched the video back and yeah.. It wasn't terrible, wasn't the best I could do. Caveat being that my voice teacher did tell the group that he played it higher than it normally is.. but the group didn't seem to notice. They all really liked it! Yay! :)

Anyway, if my coach thinks the video is good enough - i'll post it. Otherwise I'll need to record it again in the studio.

Seeeee ya!

Shaking in my Boots!

Blah!!!!

I'm so nervous!

In an hour I'll be singing to the production  group for the first time. 

Anddddd, my voice feels slightly off because

I. Am. So. TIRED!!!

I went to bed close to 230AM thanks to this guy:

I swear I have the most accident prone dog on the planet. Running around, Alfie snagged his toenails (which were recently trimmed) and they ripped off, leaving him bleeding a good amount. So we were off to the vet's office at midnight! 

He's drugged and wobbling around today. Watching me fidget like crazy out of anxiety for tonight. Man I hate my stage fright.. But here goes nothing!

Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

Bahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
