Every few months, the boss wants a new song for the troupe, thinking that our regulars will get tired of the old one. While I have my own opinions on this (and it is PAIN to teach the actors, only two of whom really sing, a new song), that is beside the point ( Read more... )

Well, for all your sakes, I hope you're able to come up with something good.

Thanks. Me, too!

I wish I could sing. Of course the people who told me I couldn't are no longer friends and were always highly critical to me...

Then, you might be able to! I've never heard you sing, so I don't know, but . . . Lots of people think they can't, when really, a few pointers (like, breathe from your diaphragm or open your mouth wider) make all the difference, and suddenly they sound fantastic. And some people's voices are rusty because they don't use them for singing, so it might take a little while, but that doesn't mean they can't sing.

Aw, thanks.
We have an awesome guitarist, and one guy plays spoons, and sometimes I'll bring in random instruments as needed. I think she'll be able to get it . . . thanks for the encouragement.
