So, the past 3 months of my life have been taken up with night classes, tons of homework and late night opera rehearsal. I'm tired but without regret. We all know that all I want to do with my life is sing.So tell me, why have I tried so hard to successfully keep my voice off "the grid"? Facebook, youtube, myspace....on none of them will you find me singing...well until now that is.
I have never been happy enough with any recording to let people who weren't my parents see/hear me. Unfortunately (ish) my parents are ridiculously proud and supportive of my practicing for poordom and have mass produced both my senior and graduate recital....both of which are ghastly. Still, these have not made it to the general public.
Last night, I sang what has been my favorite and most challenging role thus far. I have had an unheard of amount of time to prepare for it, so it is solid. My father couldn't be here to hear me so my roommate recorded a few scenes for me on my ipad. After checking it, I realized that I was proud of it. It isn't perfect, I make mistakes, I run out of breath, ect...but for the first time in my life, I am proud of it. I don't feel like I have to hide it away to avoid people hearing my imperfections.
So here I am, on youtube for the first time.

(I am new to this from ipad to youtube thing...there must be a way to make it better quality, I'll work on it)
I'm loving it!!! It's about time the rest of the world knows how awesome you are!
