I've really only wanted a part this badly ONCE before. It did not go well, as I still have not played Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Good thoughts, huh, f-list? I'm not usually needy, but the good vibes will go a LOOOOONG way.

Check B if it makes your ears bleed.
Check C if you don't want to vomit after...

But if you're like me - and don't believe it when people say things like that xD - and need extra reassurance, I'd say get your hands on a piano and practise singing the notes you might be struggling on? That's if you're a note-struggling person though, like I am. xD
Some links if you really are stressing about it thought:

There's some more on the actual root of that website but um, yeah. I honestly don't know why you're stressing out so much because you'll be great. :D

I'm still working on Lucius & Bella. DH kinds squashed my muse for HP, it was like throwing a bucket of cold water on the creativity. But, I already had the story outlined, so it should be easy to get written and sent, it just may take a little longer than I thought! Hope you don't mind!

No problem..it's an odd ship, I know, but after certain moments in the OotP film and HP7, I could see it. ;) Take all the time you need!

You will do fine, hun. I was in a production of Into the Woods, and had a blast.
I am sure, even if you do not get the role you want, you will have an amazing time. It is such a fun musical...

I know. It's Into the Woods! That's why I want it so much.
Yikes. But stinking Sondheim and his stinking hard music...
I'll take lots of pics of Bernie while I'm backstage meeting her in person... *Evil grin*

Oh... and I know a girl who's taken intensive singing lessons and she says to sing up the scale every day, pushing your range either way to try to broaden it. Just don't overdo it, otherwise you'll damage your voice!

I'm hoping with the accompaniment, that anything that's flat will sound better. And I can't sound like anything but me... if I could steal someone else's voice I'd... definitely think about it.
Yeah, Myn has me singing 'We Wish you a Merry Christmas...' I do hope that never sees the light of day...

It's good to have you back! How's the new baby? Are you handling the two little ones all right? Like your new house? England? When you have time I'd love to hear all about it!

Slepless in London
How am I doing - besides being sleep deprived and totally hormonal, things aren't that bad! Yeah, things are kinda insane right now, but I do make it a point to squeeze in time for my flist to keep me sane...
Any tips on how to manage two kids under two at this stage?

Re: Slepless in London
The best thing I did for myself was, I suppose, a bit selfish. Once Aaron was 6 months old, I put then in a Mother's Day out program once a week. From 9 am to 3 pm on Tuesdays I was free, and I did whatever I wanted (or needed) to do, which ranged from going to the market to getting a pedicure (which I still maintain is cheaper than therapy - everyone should get them). So much of you is wrapped up in them at this age that it's easy to lose yourself. So take a bubble bath, relax, remember to breathe, and that this is a very short season of life. It will be over before you know it and pretty soon they'll be feeding themselves breakfast and you'll wake up pleasantly rested at 9 am thinking, Wow, I've got self-sufficient children!
If all else fails, I'm here to listen. ;)
