Yay Ballet Marriages!
Anyway, today has been an important reminder of the fact that I actually have some affect on people if I really care about the story that I am telling. I sang "In a Very Unusual Way" at my Vocal Performance class and made the students... even the teacher cry.
I get the sense that most people don't give performers credit for how hard they have to work and how much they have to focus to actually be "good". Honestly, I used to think acting was super easy. How hard can it be to just goof around on stage or on camera? And how wrong I was...
Heck I even thought dancing was pretty easy (well, at least until puberty struck and the hips grew in). Now that I'm older and only a teensy bit wiser, I will happily acknowledge that NOTHING is as easy as it may seem.
I feel a bit off today, more given to melancholy than happy uptempo songs. Not sure why... probably my grouchiness with the whole horrid weather stuff that's been going on in New York. So hot!
Tomorrow's another day. Cannot wait for total body workout early tomorrow morning!
