Ack to Class

While I was feeling much better today than I did over the weekend, the phlegmy frog that had taken up residence in my throat had yet to vacate. Perhaps my one mistake was not hitting the Mucinex a little harder. Sometimes that stuff can sometimes work wonders.

In any case, I wasn't too sick to attend the class that I paid good money for, so off I went.

I've been pushing liquids hard over the past few days, so much so that I would seriously benefit from a catheter. Yeah, I know - ew gross, but all of that time spent running to and from the bathroom could be spent doing far more productive things. Also, I felt kinda guilty having to leave the class two or three times in between people getting up to sing - but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. It's not healthy to hold it in. People have died!

After all of my parades to the pee room I wish I could say that all of that hydrating had done the trick to get me sounding like my old self again. It didn't. Producing a clear sound took much more effort than usual and the for the most part sounded like my chords had been coated in tar. Ack! Very frustrating. Nonetheless, I could feel the entire class empathizing with me which made me feel supported and without the need to feel embarrassed or apologetic.

I didn't hit it out of the park today due to some technical difficulties, but I still showed up and managed to get some good feedback from the Casting Director that I can take home to help me improve my performance of the piece next week.

More to come later - I gotta go pee again.
