dye my hair

ahhh, why not? 3 years ago

Yeah, I dye my hair … but I dye it the same very natural blonde color that I had when I was like … seven. (My hair is naturally a very dark blonde now.)

And … everyone thinks it’s my natural color.

Buuut I also think it’s cool to dye your hair fun, crazy/bizarre colors to show off your creativity. And who knows? One of these days I might go for that instead.

take voice lessons

dooo it ;-) 3 years ago

I’ve loved music – especially singing – alllll my life, and luckily I’ve been able to take voice lessons for many years as well. Since my family moved a lot when I was younger, I had the opportunity to work with an incredible array of teachers … and from each of them I learned something new and exciting. People often pinpoint me as a shy person, but thanks to my passion for singing AND the encouraging words of many voice and performance teachers, I’m able to project confidence on stage.

Voice lessons can definitely help people who aren’t even interested in performing, though. I highly highly recommend lessons to the following types of people:

(a) People who love to sing and/or consider themselves talented singers. EVERYONE has something to learn, so I beg to differ with anyone who sings and says they “don’t need” voice lessons. Plus … they’re fun!

(b) People looking to gain confidence and/or freedom, regardless of their natural singing abilities. Obviously some people are more suited to singing than others, but whether you have a gift or not, voice lessons DO inspire you and free you.
