Song and Dance are surprising similar
First, let me apologize - I seem to only use this blog to vent. So you're stuck reading all the bad parts of my life. Well, too bad - I need somewhere to let it out, it's really not healthy to let anger build up.
I went to ballet tonight and almost started crying about ten times throught the hour and ten minutes of learning. I just find more and more things I'm doing wrong with my feet, my back, my posture, my arms, my head, pretty much every part of my body. I then found that really ironic cause it's exactly that way with my voice. Every time I go and see Torin, he points out more things that are wrong with my voice: my breathing, I have a breathy tone, I flip jumps so that the flips cover my breathy tone, I have very bright forward vowels, etc. It just keeps going, and I just get more and more discouraged. I thought I'd gotten it today - Jen Moir told me what specifically to concentrate on to get the support. I tried it and it sounded great. Then I go to ballet and I get told all the things I'm doing wrong with my body.
I really can't take being told all day the things i'm doing wrong with my voice, then at night I get told all the things I'm doing wrong with my body.
And I have so much work to do........
Thank god for music theatre.
Or rather thank Ziegfeld!
