Nervous
Jeez...what I thought was going to be laid back is starting to make me nervous.
I'm auditioning for the Ames Choral Society tonight. I had talked with the director and she's REALLY nice and I thought I was just auditioning and chances are I'd get in.
Well, I talked to her today and she's still really nice, but there are people auditioning before me and after me and she'd rather hear me sing an "artsy" song. I told her one I had in mind and she thought that would be ok. She wanted to know if I knew any Italian songs and I said I only sang one and it is a duet.
I know I sing good
I know I sing quiet easily well enough for this choir
How do I show her that?!
I know if I can nail this song (which I haven't sang since sophomore year of college a good 4 years ago) then that'll be good, but I don't think it shows my voice like others.
I know she's going to have me do scales, which I'll nail and then show her how much of an asset to this choir I can be. Because I can go forever high on scales and people are always impressed, so I hope I have that going for me.
I know she's going to have me do sightreading, which I don't fancy all that much, but hopefully I can bluff my way through that.
Dammit, I'm nervous now! I know I can sing well, I know I can do this choir, but auditioning has ALWAYS sucked for me. Especially for people who don't already know my voice, people who haven't heard me sing for years now. I do very well in choirs...I just need to show her that!!
