Haroun and the Sea of Singers

Okay, my singing is not all that bad but thank you everyone for your support ^_^

Anyway, the Singing lesson went pretty well yesterday- when I do a really deep operatic voice the tone comes out really well- unfortunately for the "Oh What a Lovely War" audition I was pretty much just trying to make things sound as loud as possible, which didn't work. Our Singing teacher said we had some of the best vocal talents she'd heard in quite some time, and was surprised that I said mine went so badly. Still, I'm more psyched for I'll Never fall In Love Again than I was- I'm looking forward to it, heh.

Rah-Sticker-phon
Today's been a really fantastic day for me. It started off fairly sluggishly- it took me two hours to get out of bed despite being woken up by the smoke detectors twice (they have a wiring fault), leaving me half an hour to get ready to go into town after actually getting dressed. I skipped breakfast at home, heh.

When I got into town I decided I'd give up and buy the RahXephon Volume 3 DVD. I watched a bit of it al Lawrence's house and it seemed to jump a bit during the titles, but that cleared up once the actual episode started. It interrupted 'Hemisphere', dammit! But it seems good. I'll see if I can space myself and wait to get Volume 4 for a few weeks or so- they tend to be released two at a time, and I hate having huge breaks in series I watch, because the suspense is lost. I guess I should write the next chapters of Enter the Net and Dark Conflict, then ^_^;

That was my main mission for town, apart from more stickers *pokes Sara*. I do get some funny looks from people as I stand there in my long black leather jacket, grey scarf and chunky black ski-gloves looking at sparkly, slightly girly things in Woolworths.

Then came college. I skipped Movement today because neither Lawrence nor I were in the best of moods for it. Well, Lawrence was feeling rather despondant about things in general, and I decided the cheese, apple and celery biggest sandwich in the world hadn't quite gone down yet, so we stayed at his house until it was time to find out what Damon's play was all about.

Haroun
(Sounds like something my dogs would say, actually ^_~)

Haroun and the Sea of Stories is based on a book by Salman Rushdie, and it is absolutely amazing. We read through it today and it's even better than our Alice in Wonderland. I've no idea how a lot of the stage effects are going to be done on the scale of a stage as small as ours, but since the scripting's good it hopefully won't matter too much.

The cast was handed out at the beginning of the lesson, along with the script. I could hardly believe it when I looked down the list.

I'm playing Haroun.

The only character not in the chorus- the title and lead role, pretty much. People were pleased for me, but at the time I had no idea what the play was going to be about so I was a little nervous to say the least. Having read through it, I just can't wait to properly get started. It's just... ah, elation ^_^ He's a really cool character- a hero who I can identify with easily and the play itself is really good to boot. It's like a cross between a Seuss story and Alice in Wonderland, with real action and suspense written into it as well. Read it if you can find it.

I'm incredibly pleased, hehe. Now I need to learn my lines ^_^; This is the first major lead role I've ever played; I've no idea how many nights we're doing it for but I want to be confident with the part before I walk on stage. If it is only for one night, I need to be top-notch.

I reckon I can do that ^_~
