So here's is the promised blog update! Despite the fact that it it mostly useless given that the few of you who actually read this already know the major news.
So yeah, I got Emmett! I worked since last december to be ready for this audition and callback and it paid off. I got the part, and I'm super excited. Given the rough journey it's been for my voice as of late I was actually extremely surprised with how well it performed yesterday at the call backs. Nearly every time I had sang through "Chip On My Shoulder" in the past I've struggled with several things, but yesterday they all disappeared. I found a comfortable place to sing from and ultimately felt really good about how I did. I found a confidence that hadn't been there since the rehearsal process of RENT. It felt amazing!
Now the trick is to rediscover that confidence and keep it through this rehearsal process, and of course on to the show itself. I'm willing myself to keep it up! haha.
But yeah, there's the update! One more win in the battle to overcome my voice issues! This one feels huge. As stupid as it sounds, I feel like I'm making a comeback! I'm gonna rock this part, and show everyone that I am a strong performer!
(okay, ignore the stupid self inspirational speech if you want)

1 Week Away.
My Legally Blonde audition is one week away, and seeing as how I'm having a sleepless night I figured I'd make a blog entry.
So one week! My voice lessons have been going pretty darn well as of late! It takes me a bit to get into the groove but once I'm there, I feel more confident and sound better than I have in quite a long time! The only downside to this whole thing is that when I'm alone, or rather just not in a voice lesson, the progress is harder to find. I can sing a song really well in a voice lesson one day and then the next day try to replicate that success with uninspiring results. This scares me as I can't audition for legally blond by having the directors come see me in my voice lesson. I want the part, but I'm also not 100% confident I can earn it, but we'll see! Have one more voice lesson before the big day, hopefully something will stick that I can carry with me into the audition!
Next work... oh work... I have started working for Gilbert's parent's office as a way of supplementing my income. It's been pretty nice honestly. I get to see Gilbert a bit more, and even though we can't really be affectionate there, it's still really nice to be around him. But now that I'm working an evening/weekend job this is what my week looks like:
Mon- Wake up at 6. Shower, Eat, Be to work by 7:30. Finish work at 2:30, drive to other work, arrive by 3:00. Finish around 8. Return home, eat, relax for an hour or two and then hit the hay to repeat for the rest of the week.
If I get into Legally Blonde it'll only get more chaotic as I will go directly from job #2 to rehearsal, then from rehearsal directly into bed. I'm gonna be exhausted by the time March 11th comes around!
However, March 11th will be pretty fantastic! It's my spring break from the APS job and my parents are treating Gilbert, Me, Zoey and Kevin to a trip to NOLA with them!! I'm so excited for this trip fro many reasons, but most of all because it'll be the first family vacation Gilbert and I are taking as a couple with my family! Pretty significant step I must say!
Well... now that I have had a lovely word vomit upon my blog I think I should try to sleep. It's been a long week and I have to work yet again tomorrow. I'm sorry this is pretty unorganized, I'll be posting by Monday the 20th if not before.
