Well I think the audition went well, should hear tomorrow late morning. I sang 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.

Joer... ha muerto Brian Wilson 😢 , el fundador de los Beach Boys.

Durante el confinamiento cantamos la versión coral de una de sus canciones más conocidas, God Only Knows:

Yay! Restarted my voice lessons (with the same teacher I had 10 years ago, and who my daughter also studied with back then).

I'd forgotten how much work it is. 😅 So many things to remember (until it becomes muscle memory).

But also so much fun! Yay! 🎶
