Well I think the audition went well, should hear tomorrow late morning. I sung my piece well, the sight singing (singing a Palestrina that I didn't know! in a quartet) was pretty easy and the director complimented me on my good sightsinging. I'd be sooooo surprised if I didn't get in. There were definitely good vibes.

(Actually I am laughing because I decided on a voice lesson piece, worked on it a lot, and in an email offered that and also Samuel Barber "Sure on this shining night" but I didn't really work on that, the director's response in email was "whichever you prefer"... but then when I got there she said "okay, you're singing Barber, right?" 😅 So I did the Barber and a little of a Caldara...)

I have an audition with a local choral ensemble Tuesday night. Yay!

But...

Geezus, I've been doing auditions my entire life and I *still* get really nervous about them. You'd think by now I'd have them in stride.

I think it's when I'm in any situation where I don't know *any* of the people and yet I'm going to "perform" and they're going to judge me. 👍 👎

Maybe it's a little more uncertainty than nervousness... I need to decide sometime today which of 2 of the pieces from my voice lessons I'll use. The one I think might be better I seem to go a little flat on, though... but I guess I will be able to have some minimal accompaniment. If she can give me the left hand of the piano I think I should be fine. (But then my reptile brain kicks in and says "but maybe they would have admitted you if you'd used the *other* piece!")

On the other hand, I am at the nice stage in my life where I am completely comfortable that if they *don't* admit me, then it wasn't the right thing anyway.

But still...

Yeesh.

I was supposed to be born as a boy with a penis but instead im a problem with no penis, so they taught me music and told me to be a chorister

Then i ran away

Many years and miles later, i realized i still have the chorister skills

This stolen knowledge

So now im using it

Im becoming the chorister they never wanted me to be

This is the first arrangement Ive ever finished, plz clap
