Edit:  Here's the song.  Apologies to Irving Berlin.  http://dracoandginny.com/persephone33/auditionsong.mp3

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.

I listened to it (yes, me with my phobia about downloading things for fear of running over our monthly download limit and incurring much fines) and you sound FINE. I was fully prepared for something warbly and out of tune, but you sounded lovely and very you (ask Myn about my singing if you want. She has a copy of me singing Merry Christmas and it's not pretty). Your voice is clear and so are the notes. You project confidence and energy. One thing to watch for (it might just be the lack of accompaniment, though AND I don't know the song), sometimes you go a bit monotone. Have confidence, girl, I do! All the best of luck! Will be praying extra hard on Sunday (or is it Monday for me?)! G'LUCK!

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!

Thanks, dL!

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...
