teylaminhokay. i need to join a choir or something. i mean, seriously. just for the fact that practicing using my voice is a good thing...
it was okay. not fantastic, not abhorrently awful. mediocre, i guess. i think i only made one mistake, but since it was just missing the entrance i managed to fix it so it ended in the right place and it still sounded okay. the only problem was, due to the fact i'd never sung the damn things before, that i managed to wear out my vocal cords entirely in the bloody rehearsal, thus meaning that my actual performance was somewhat warbling.
also, when i've been singing too long (though admittedly it used to be longer than ten minutes...) it's impossible for me to sing anything below middle C, and even that's a struggle. i have sarah brightman syndrome; everything sounds an octave higher than it really is...
other than that, i think the final one that was in a round went well because it sounded pretty, but other than that, it was so-so.
i ended up talking to some random clerical person who asked if i was going to taizé or if i'd been, plus the usual "so, where are you living/what are you doing/where's home?" conversation... and i hurled the suggestion at anne of doing something choir-like for easter, but need to email her or go to see her to discuss it further.
and obviously, anne praised me and inflated my ego and thanked me profusely, but she has to do that... :P
meh. definitely going to join something when back home. need to. more to the point, need singing lessons, but i've been lamenting that fact for the past five years...
