Still Being Random

Last night, Misato took out the one songbook I've been dreading yet hoping for. She took out Phantom of the Opera. Rather gleefully, I might add.

Then, she started pointing out the songs she wants us to do. The Angel of Music and All I Ask of You. The Angel of Music is for all three of us: Gette, Henrick and myself. All I Ask of You will be a duet for me and Henrick. Of course, I get to do all the Christine bits. Which makes it more scary.

The other song Henrick has to do is A Little Fall of Rain with Gette but, at least Gette has been singing that song on her own for the past month anyway.

So yeah, if I suddenly go into a Phantom craze again, this is why. The one musical I seem to feel the need to live up to and Misato hits me with it now. It doesn't help that this is the musical that got me started on all other musicals. So if I screw this up, I am so not worthy!

I went for my first ever voice tryout last night. I've always wanted to take voice lessons. It's fascinating to be able to belt out a song. Not just any song but songs from musicals.

And Gette had to go and find us someone who absolutely lives and breathes musicals. To be fair, I got excited when I saw the music sheets for 'Les Miserables' so the teacher (Misato) also got excited.

The excitement was such that she then proceeded to pass me the music sheet for 'I Dreamt A Dream' and Gette 'On My Own' from 'Les Miserables.

Oh, and despite my convinctions that I cannot sing to save my life, I've discovered that I can go between an alto and a soprano. Maybe that's why she passed me the sheet for 'I Dreamt A Dream'.

Although it is cheaper if there were more than the two of us, I like it just being Gette and me there. We like the same songs, there's less waiting time and we're both apprehensive yet almost excited that we might end up singing with Misato one day. Oh god! Help!

I'm excited now. I can't wait for next week.
