auditioning 5 pieces tmw for my june concert. true to form.... i spent most the morning stressing out and much of the afternoon practicing to quell the anxiety. not quite sure what possessed me to vocalise differenlty than i'm used to.. i so rarely warm up as it is..but singing the high notes felt a little easier today, (perhaps it was my amazing voice lesson yesterday when everything was so effortless and my voice teacher finally decided i'm a lyric, not a mezzo) so i got a wild hair up my ass to see how high i could actually go. not the best idea right before an audition... started coughing, sputtering, even gave myself an asthma attack.. not so bright! so, now i'm hoarse and when i sing the line, or try to talk, my voice cuts out and jumps all over the place.. pretty. hit the f sharp above high c though and felt i could go higher. not certain people should be able to make sounds that high. perhaps i'll become a human dog whistle.
