Yeah, my voice? It's...GONE. I knew it was bad, but I had no idea. I haven't talked for 36 hours, my only communication being my pad and pencil. However, Dr. Coker just gave me a pretty sweet magic write, so expect quicker responses my friends AND I'm saving trees.
It's so hard. I mean, I talk way too much as it is, so for me to completely stop talking is crazy and it's hard to see other people singing and taking solo parts that you were supposed to have. I'm really appreciative and I feel bad for having to put pressure on so many people.
I thought I'd be on vocal rest for 2 days and that would be it, but alas, now Coker is talking about me getting a Cortizone shot tonight or tomorrow AND not speaking through the weekend. GGGREEEAAATTTT
I hope they're happy now. This opera was stressing me out ridiculously before and now... THIS.
So far I've had to back out of singing the alma mater Wednesday, today's opening convocation and I will not be able to sing at all for our 2 day chamber singers retreat and probably not for open house Sunday.
THIS SUCKS.
But my miming skills, writing skills, and facial expressions are rockin' hard!
