#hm i need to get this out of my system before i hold a grudge against my choir teacher for the rest of my high school career#which she doesnt deserve#okay so. this year im doing musical theatre solo & ensemble right so i wanted to do dont rain on my parade for the pre 1965 song#and right off the bat my choir director is iffy abt it. which i get!! but i had my reasons for wanting to sing it#i hadnt actually decided yet whether i really did want to go for it when i first brought it up but the second time i did she wanted me to#sing it for her which i was 100% NOT expecting but she just playing it on the piano so i was like gee okay :/ some warning wouldve been cool#long story short i kinda blew it bc a. wow unexpected! b. the lyrics she gave me were out of order which was immediately off putting#like Who Wrote This and c. i’d only ever sung it on my own or with the recording. not with a piano. so i took up the wrong starting note#for the record it didnt sound Bad like the reason she gave me for ultimately deciding on no was p much that my voice sounded too nice#but the thing is i can pull off that song. obviously far from perfectly but if she’d let me sing it for her for the first time under my own#terms i think i could have had her convinced#basically she didnt think i was putting enough punch in it (bc i was unprepared and also only song a couple lines like??) and she wanted me#to have a good ‘first solo & ensemble experience’ so i should sing it next year and im just. ugh#my reasons for wanting to sing that song were not to get a 1. it was bc that specific song would REALLYencourage me to leave my comfort zone#which is the biggest problem with my singing. my confidence. this song would have been perfect for helping me improve that#i didnt care abt it being perfected by the time solo & ensemble came around or anything like that i just wanted to improve in that respect#but now im stuck singing i could have danced all night and :// it’s a nice song but i dont particularly enjoy it and it’s not going to do#much for me. it’s not emotional and it’s not outside of my range it’s just... there#it’ll help me with tuning and maybe breath support but Thats It and im :/// hm#personal#anyway this happened a while ago but i keep thinking abt it so i needed to get it off my chest sorry#ik it sounds ridiculous but me being more confident in my singing = me being more confident in general and thats smth i really need so thats#why i wanted to just go for dont rain on my parade like it wasnt abt it being good it was abt improving myself#but it’s too late now to say all that to me director so#there are so many typos in here ahsjdkf ignore them sorry
