You have no strength to squander
Well, the insanity of the first week back is over. So far, I've weathered a no-show professor on the first day, a schedule change, general auditions and a subsequent WTF-worthy callback list. Aside from the first day feeling kind of weird, it does feel good to be back and I'm excited about the prospects that sophomore year entails. Different professors, focus on character work, mask class and SHOWS!
Today was general audition day and mine went pretty decently. I was able to meet with the musical director yesterday and get him to play my song for me and I sang it in his office. I was surprised at how good it felt when I was singing it in there. I sang "We Can Do It" from The Producers (from "What do I say" through "I'd have an attack") and I feel confident that I accomplished my goal: to prove that I can at least carry a tune and do a little acting while singing.
I'm really glad for the long weekend after this week, though. Although, since I still have shows I'm ASMing and already a substantial amount of homework, it won't exactly feel like a long weekend, but whatever.
I recently picked up a copy of The Freedom Sessions for $5.99 at Borders and, let me tell you, I'd still be interested in Sarah McLachlan if she sounded like this. Some of the interpretations on this are riveting and completely different readings than their Fumbling counterparts. On this one, the Tom Waits cover and "Elsewhere" especially, it's great to hear her sounding so loose and passionate. It's a shame she became so boring.
