| It was my second solo, not my first which got me. I performed for a friend, then at her sister's wedding, with much more difficult material (which pushed me into taking lessons) the first song was not as nice as I'd have liked. Second one was better and I believe it is just a matter of performing more. Getting used to it, living through feeling like we blow it then realizing (again and again) that others don't see it that way. (Videotapes do help there.) Just don't beat your Self up over it. The fact is that you care for these people and were willing to give of your Self. THAT and only that is what they are going to remember! Hugs, PJ. Astrology & New Age

Hi listers,
Well I had my first solo last night, and I am not a happy camper. You would have thought it was the first time I had ever sung. I was so nervous that my hands, and knees were knocking. I was thin and squeeked on the higher notes, my break was terrible and I know that I forgot all about breath support and lifting of the soft pallette. I just got done watching the tape of it and it saddened me that it was not any better especially with all the work that I put into it. The one wonderfull thing about it was the words of the song, the bride and groom heard the words and they were both crying. I feel like when they watch their tape of it they are going to wonder why they cryed, they should have been crying for a better singer. I went in their with the thought that I AM A SINGER, and I came out feeling like less of one than I ever had. Sorry for rambling on like this, I am looking for comfort and who best to go to than ones that would know how I feel.
thanks for listening
Janis
