Wait I'm curious what your vocal ranges are?

i have to stand in front of the violins to sing my solo i can't hear anything

i don't believe in rubato

mom: so what is your solo?

me: yeah so like it's an oratorio about the ministry of christ and two thirds through he dies --oh my gosh spoilers i'm so sorry

#lamb of god

okay hooray after four years of performing named roles with the theatre company that no one auditions for i can now hold my own in callbacks with normal singers

#we all did a good job!#and i did. a pretty darn good job

i really i rEALLY thought something by the beatles had some beefy ass harmonies but i just relistened and there's like nothing?? occasional parallel thirds, that's IT

#currently investigating barbershop covers #because george i swear there's something in these chords #hating the vocal majority cover tho

i love singing huge songs that require genuine physical exertion because it's like working out in a way that negatively impacts other people

convince yourself your dance callback video is fine by putting on cuter clothes

i feel like my music directing this show and refusing to let these ladies sing high is my villain arc

#it's v collaborative w/ the playwright #but he's also very busy and distracted so i am at liberty to make executive decisions #most of which are 'sing this down the octave'

in painting class i learned the informal phrase "masturbatory art" for works that just exist for the artist to feel good about themselves and there's like. no vulnerability or depth or connection or whatever, and lads. when learning jason robert brown music this phrase will not leave my head

#1. new world bullshit is too low for me #2. it's dripping with idk 2002 #3. the music is so cliched it's a natural earworm and it's been stuck in my head for three days

i think my passaggio is screwed

#see what i get for doing a musical written for men #with a music director who did not have the skills to shepherd us through these treacherous ranges #foolish. foolish #i actually learned this about my voice by royally fucking up an audition last week

singing alto 1

#the world needs fewer sopranos #but also i personally need to sing soprano #it's rob gardner for goodness sake i need the soaring line

when your clothes fall off in the middle of a scene

helping record a musical audiobook for a colleague and i keep swinging wildly between 'this is the worst music ever' and 'no it's giving barbie vhs release'

#the script itself is. bad #the tunes of the songs are p good #the instrumentation which i just got this week is ???#i have no idea

better watch out when the 12/8 music comes out

#it's not hard to count!#it's the most fun to count!#but it makes me evil #it's like harmful stimulants to me i'm waltzing around and doing basic math and getting so mad at everyone

i learned a song way out of my range just to audition for a musical way out of my range and now i have to sing those songs. which hurt my body

*wakes up in a cold sweat at 4am* auditions are tuesday

#ya girl did not prepare #bc i'm over here hellbent to sing a song that is too low for me #bc the directors already know i sing pretty #so i am bringing the character #but i refuse to practice the character
