Sometimes small breakthroughs make your day

Last night I did an audition for chamber group in the choir. Why does this make me happy - because it actually went quite well. Usually I get very nervous - really.very.stupidly.nervous

Yay you! It's good that your nervousness is settling down. It all comes down to confidence, so you must be getting more confident maybe?

I totally feel your pain though. I haven't auditioned for anything since before I joined the SCA and my last audition was AWFUL! I was auditioning for a musical with the Sutherland musical society. Had to audition in front of a crowd and they weren't a nice audience. Tough crowd, audition sucked majorly and I bummed out (didn't even get into the chorus!).

I suspect though that now, because of all the work I do in the SCA, be it with the band, in the singing group or as a soloist, I would probably walk into an audition and do far better than I used to and I put it largely down to confidence (though having to speak publicly, say in court, scares the daylights out of me!)

So, good for you, sounds like you're starting to kick the nerves...and we all know you're a diva...in front of the mirror :)
