Whee!

Just getting home from T@F auditions. I was pretty nervous, because even if I wasn't too worried about getting a part, I really didn't want to make a fool of myself in front of all those people whose opinions I respect. One of the things I was most worried about was volume and projecting. I tend to be too quiet, as a general rule. I know it was an issue in the last play, and it's generally an issue when I sing. Auditions were held in the sanctuary, where the play will be performed. It's a very big space, and sound is easily lost there; I had trouble hearing a number of other people who auditioned. So I tried to convince myself that there was no way I could be *too* loud, and just let go. I don't know how it sounded from the audience, but it felt to me like I *filled* that space. And from the reactions I heard when I was done -- I kicked ass. DAMN, that felt good. I tend to think that I'm mostly interested in T@F for the hanging out and cuddling, but I forget how much I enjoy performing and what a high it is. Got asked to do a reading from the chorus part with another woman and Mare, and it was fun finding a rhythm and balance together, reading parts alone, alternating lines, and then in unison. I'm not entirely sure what all of it means, but the language is really fun to speak. This is going to be fun!

There are still auditions tomorrow night -- come play with us!
