Well for most of the people who read this blog you all know I was in Dublin this past week for a vocal competition. This is my second competition and I went over to Ireland very excited and some what in denial about how Brandon would effect my singing. For the past month I have been telling myself that I can do it and keeping my confidence high, and when the day of the competition came I sang my best, made a couple mistakes, but nothing that was completely horrible. The fact of the matter was that my breathing technique is completely suffering from what seems to be a growth spurt from Brandon, I feel like he grew double in size in 2 days (this isn't the first time Ive felt like this (last time he grew really fast was between week 15-16) I knew another growth spurt was coming I was just hoping it would wait until after next week, but baby waits for no one. Singing wasn't difficult I just had to take a couple emergency breaths and that of course made the vocal line suffer. Another huge dilemma, besides hiding growing belly, was the fact that the other singers in the competition were just amazing, I can't remember the last time I heard so much talent in 2 days, there was no one thing wrong with any performance, I knew the judges had to make some tough decisions and if I were to me eliminated it was not because I was not bad it was just the way the competition had to go, I was also right in the middle of the age group of singers...youngest being 21 and oldest being 31. Many of the singers to advance were between 27-31, with 1 or 2 younger than that.
Sooo my singing is being put on hold until Brandon comes. I'm going to continue to study but no performances or auditions until I'm back in tip top vocal shape!!
