Letters to myself
Dear Liz,
What are you doing? Why on earth would you have sent that email? You can't SING!... This is going to be embarrassing...
With Love and Concern,
-Yourself

Dear Self,
I appreciate your concern. I too, am a little hesitant; as was I yesterday when I sent the email requesting the audition slot. My theory is this: I've gotta try. Ya know? I feel like it's something I should do. And if I make a fool of myself... well then, oh well. I'll be auditioning for a company who has seen me act and knows my skill behind the scenes and knows that I'm an asset to any ensemble.
Also, I can too sing. Perhaps not well. But I can't always live in the shadow of my sister, the classically trained could-have-been-something. Just because I wasn't the child born with the golden voice, that does not mean that I don't have any vocal quality. I'm a very good chorus sound. Besides... I'm an actor. I can ACT like I can sing...
So, again, I thank you for your concern and consideration... but, with all due respect: shut the hell up. I'm auditioning for the musical. The worst they can tell me is 'no'.
With Love and Respect,
-Liz-

Dear Liz,
I'm sorry. I was rash in my judgment of your decision. You know I worry about you. But you worry about you too, and that's a lot of worry for one person to have, so I will lay off the criticism (at least until after the audition). Good luck. Best of chances. And, all of those other encouraging sidelines that bestow positive energy upon someone.
Yours truly (literally),
-Yourself
