... is what recently happened to me. How do any of you keep your chins up when something like this happens?
This was especially traumatic for me because:
1. I worked for many years to get my performance anxiety under control. I have made wonderful achievements in this area. It has not been as big a problem as this for many years, so I feel that this was a HUGE step backwards, which is discouraging. I have not had the desire to open my mouth to sing since.
2. My teacher sent me to this audition. I REALLY embarassed myself. I have since been unable to sleep at times because I feel so humiliated and like I have let her down.
3. This was not a particularly important audition for me at all, so it doesn't even make sense that I was so traumatized by it.
I must say that I have had auditions in the past that have not been pretty, but I really did take the cake on this one. I am quite discouraged and, as I said, do not have the desire to sing or to face my teacher! It has been almost two weeks! Help!!!!
