| | wow, I didn't know that I haven't posted since September. Am I finally losing interest in posting? That's a possibility...hmm
well, it's gonna be hard to summarize my life here over the past 2-3 months.
It's been good overall. Small group leading, Good News, has been good. Schoolwork?....uhh...lol.
That's what the next few days are for, though. WORK AND CRAMMING!!! yayyy....
My dream did come true since last post, though. My dream of finally having a solo for Good News. I didn't think it would ever be possible last year. I was too nervous, my voice too shaky whenever I sang in front of other people. But I've been steadily improving my public singing voice (and even my private one). Better range, better control, better nerves, better confidence, etc.
And we finally did a song that fits my voice....I think my voice works best with the epic ballads =)
I found a video on youtube of another acappella group singing Via Dolorosa, over the summer. I told Jack, DUDE we gotta do this song!!!!! So I emailed them and did a music swap (we gave them one of our arrangements, they gave us this). And I was just dreaming of having this solo...
One day during rehearsal, someone was curious what the solo sounded like, and they asked if anyone knew it. So I said I did, and started singing...then everyone was like...wowww. and i was like huh? seriously? couldnt have been thaaaaat good. lol
then they're like, okay let's listen to the original on youtube by sandi patty. she prolly won't sing it as well as Cory but let's hear the spanish part.
.......wowwww. Sandi Patty is known in the Christian Music world as "The Voice". ahhhh that was too much for me.
Well, audition time came around, and praise Jesus, I got the solo =D (Sarah got the solo for the 2nd verse/chorus)
So happy with it. Love the beauty of the notes and harmony, love the power of the lyrics, of the message that it carries.
And this upped my confidence level by a bunch too. haha.
