My "Audition"

I thought I'd take a brief moment to talk about my "audition" yesterday.
First off, it wasn't really an audition because I signed up for the class. But we had to sing a song for everybody.

I had been thinking about this since before the class started, when my teacher told me I already knew what song I'd do. (I decided on Air)

Because I have endless versions of this song, I listened to it a lot and made sure I knew the words and everything. Also thanks to videos and a good memory, I knew the (for lack of better word) choreography.

So I was confident....not. I'm never confident.

Just my luck, I was the one performing first. So I stood up and tried to collect myself. But of course, I was already shaking. I had planned on saying something funny, like "It's supposed to be Kacie Sheik, but I mix in some Kyle Riabko, Drew Tyler Bell, and Idina Menzel" (props to anyone who can understand the references!) but of course I was to frightened to say that. I only managed to say "It's called Air"

And I began. I took solace in the choreography and focused on embodying Jeanie-not some petrified girl.
I was doing alright but I was getting on my least favorite part "cataclysmic ectoplasm" which is always the part where I start to loose breath. It didn't help that my friend Sienna laughed when I said "atomic orgasm" but I managed to refocus so I could do the moves for "looking rather attractive..."
Of course when I finished I did the coughing at the end...I'm known as the coughing girl!

What I realized afterwords was I had made a great choice by picking that song. Not only are there so many versions that you can't compare me directly to anyone, but also nobody knew that song at all. I knew everybody else's songs and therefore I knew where everybody messed up a little bit.

So it went well. And the last girl was performing For Good (with the help of the girl who sang Superboy and the Invisible Girl) with a karaoke track, and everyone sang along at the end. It was quite fun.
