Maybe some halp?
Sep. 12th, 2008 06:05 pmO hai there. Man, I've had such a stressful few weeks, and I haven't really felt like doing anything... significant, like writing or what have you. Had a scare about getting my loan for the new school year, had to run around in circles dealing with financial aid, just finished my first week of classes. Trying to get settled.
Anyway, I would love to get a little help from you guys, if you're willing. There are auditions for a big-deal showcase for singers on Monday, and I'm trying to figure out what to sing. Basically, about a hundred or so singers audition (and this is a music school I go to), and they take eight. So I've gotta be as good as I can be.
So, I have two choices and one maybe lined up (more for a potential second song choice if I make callbacks). I'd really appreciate some feedback about which sounds the best:
Think
Home (from The Wiz)
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
I made these recordings a little more than a year ago, and I'm much more comfortable with the last note of Home (and have more control over my vibrato) than before, but that's about all that's changed. I'm leaning toward Think, but they're judging dynamics, too, and Think is... loud and louder. Home has a bigger build. I like Rainbow as a contrasting style, potentially, but that requires me to make callbacks.
IDK, I'd just really appreciate some thoughts if you have time.
In fandom news, I have a lot of stuff piling up that I've been too stressed to want to work on. I'd still like to get the femslash-a-thon going, but I feel that it's only fair that I write something to kick it off, and I just haven't been able to get anything out. Hopefully things'll settle down and I'll get back in the writing swing again.
