(no subject)
I think I may have finally found my voice. I wrote the other day about open-throat crooners and have since decided that I want to become one. I truly am a baritone, and as such I've had real trouble projecting through the top half of the tenor range. I can sing those notes in a low falsetto, but I don't, because it really can sound like hell. I always thought of myself as a more powerful singer. I guess maybe I'm dreaming, wanting to be Freddie Mercury. I was amazed the other day to find out how good I sounded when I just opened my throat and tried to sing in an almost operatic tone. I can still project real well through the low registers, and my falsetto is acute as can be, but I finally figured out how I can fake the full package by singing like a real pansy. I feel inspired by groups like Depeche Mode and Tears for Fears and such. I'm excited.
I really want to just put together a group and try to play other groups' music. I've never played in a group that wasn't some sort of concert/jazz band or orchestra, so I think trying to bring my own musical creations to life would be difficult at first. I'm going to wait until we're at least able to communicate and rattle off a few Bowie songs or whatever. I'd like to play a free concert out at GVSU of other people's music so that like thirty-seven people could hear us!
I need more friends, I've decided. Not just on livejournal (which I do), but across the board. Sometimes I think I haven't gone at things in my life in the most beneficial way. Not that I have any regrets about where I am, but I don't know, there's not enough people in my phone that I can call to hang out with. What I really need is more tennis partners.
