First-day Singers

Today was the very first day of the Musical Theater class that I'm taking at Actor's Connection!
I was psyched and also a bit nervous going into it - but my excitement superseded the butterflies in my tummy.

We were sent an email the day before telling us to make sure we had a ballad and an up-tempo song that was ready to go. Immediately I decided to bring out my two number one audition songs: "Journey to the Past" (for the ballad) and "Smash the Mirror" (for the up-tempo.)

After a brief Q&A with the Casting Director and Agent, everyone had the opportunity to jump up and sing their selections, receiving feedback at the end. There are a lot of really strong singers in this group - especially amongst the women.

From what I could tell from the feedback I received from the CD and Agent, they were happy with my selections - although I have plenty of work to do for next week's class. We're going to be focusing on our "ballads" next week!

I like the idea of using this class as a way to meet some new people. so I thought it would be nice to have dinner with a couple of girls from the class. There seem to be a lot of nice folks in this group, which is helpful when you have to go up in front of a bunch of your peers.

So far, so good. I can't wait 'til next week!
