It would appear my shortcomings know no bounds. As I've already written, I have almost no acting experience. My singing skills are even worse, as was evident during our second practice last night, in which we began working on the Christmas carols that bridge the small scenes that make up the show.
You know how whenever a new hot singer is becoming famous an article will almost certainly pop up, noting the fact the singer honed their craft in their hometown church choir? Well, when it came to singing in church, my main focus was trying to make my mom giggle at my wild octave swings and general tone-deafness as our family stood in the mother's chapel of St. Val's on occasional Sunday mornings. My talents never really progressed from there. To go further, my top vocal role models are Will Ferrell impersonating Robert Goulet during his days on Saturday Night Live and Don Knotts in that episode of the Andy Griffith Show where they turn off Barney's mic and have another guy sing his parts.
The real singers in the cast were busy discussing how to
translate Christmas carols into German during the 2nd practice.
Before the night began, Amanda seemed to doubt my claims that I couldn't sing. Afterwards, she was near-speechless over how accurate I had been.
Luckily for all those who will attend the show, there are others with wonderful voices that easily drown out my warbling.
Otherwise, the show is moving along nicely. A few characters have had to be erased as actors dropped out, but they've been replaced. The overall flow of the show is solidifying, as well.
Keep checking for new posts and more photos and have a happy Thanksgiving!
