I love to sing and have since I was a little girl. I’ve sung in public 100+ times for different events, plays, etc. I love the feeling I get when I am on stage singing. It’s fun and anyone who wants to do this should!



Singing in public (in Japanese!) 3 months ago

I’ve sung in public before, but within a choir – the occasional small duet or solo piece, but between each song there was at least a 15 minute break while the orchestra played or a sermon was read.

I’ve now agreed to sing in public – reaaally public. At an anime expo, in front of thousands of passers-by with my voice amplified over mini-amps. And for about 2 hours at once, in Japanese no less. Um, help?

The one great thing is I have nearly 3 months to prepare, which is good because there’s a lot of work to be done – learning and memorising the lyrics and then learning to sing it well (with a rough imitation of the original singer’s voice). I won’t be alone, since there’ll be at least two guitars, a bass and keyboard with me. I’ll talk in between songs so everyone can rest, if I can think of anything to say.

I’m practising mostly by singing the songs over and over again – sometimes recording them and playing it back to look at my weaker points. It doesn’t help that I have a cough t the moment, but I’m trying. I’m on eduFire, a live video lesson site and one of the lessons teaches the meanings of anime lyrics, complete with karaoke at the end. I’m contributing to that as much as possible to give me more confidence (everyone is really nice).

The playlist hasn’t been decided yet, but from the looks of it there’ll be at least 15 songs in Japanese where I’m the lead singer. 15 songs, 3 months to go. Wish me luck, everyone!



Exhilirating! 4 months ago

A karaoke bar counts, haha. It didn’t take as long for me to gather up the courage as I thought, and I can’t believe how much I got into it. The people seemed to enjoy it as well :)

I sing at the bus stop all the time and while I’m walking around now as well. I’m not scared of people catching me singing anymore. In fact, I think people should sing and dance around ALL the time. The world would be a much better place.

Soon to be probabilities! 5 months ago

Yesterday, I was practising the choreography and the song i’m going to dance and sing with all the girls and boys of my musical comedy learning institute. And when i was taking a little rest, the director took my hands and hook me up saying “okay, mrs. Haniggan, you have to stand in here” and i was shocked, cuz Mrs. Haniggan is one of the main characters of “Annie: the little orphan girl”, and best of all…SHE’S THE EVIL ONE!! she’s a resentmented, alcoholic and evil woman who hates with all her soul the little girls she MUST to care at the orphans institute. haha is a great character and is a little bit difficult, so i hope to make it a lot better!
And the best part is that i think that I WILL SING IN PUBLIC!! :)
a great song, besides… =)

just ignore the jitters... 6 months ago

I’ve been singing in the school-choir (kids’ school that is) for a while now, and i love it. But that’s hiding behind 12 others…

To my own amazement i was asked to join the teachers in the play they did for Christmas, and really liked that, even when it included singing three solo’s… But as i was emotionally supported by about 8 other people, it didn’t feel like i was on my own. I would really like to stand there with just some musical accompaniment, and my voice doing the work…

No idea how to get that done, maybe something will come up…

I sing terribly…but I love singing!
I always try NOT to sing, because I don’t want people telling me how awefull it sounds – I know it does.
But I LOVE singing and it makes me happy, so I want to sing even with people around, not just when I’m by myself.

Next year (: 8 months ago

I have sang in front of family and some others who said I was a really good singer; (though tbh I don’t agree) I just love singing. So me and a friend of mine (who is an amazing singer in my opinion) plan to enter our school “Talent Show” if you like next year. We’re hoping to do something by Paramore (:
I can’t wait; I just hope I don’t chicken out when it gets to auditioning for it and everything..
