Was watching my dearest SPSL and fellow IGNYTian on campus just now. Though I'm happy that these people I know are in Campus' Top 20, I can't help but admit that I feel myself a little sad- about not taking part in a competition I wanted rather badly, but because of parental objection was unable to. I saw the supportive parents & grandparents on TV, and felt a bit sad. :( But during the advertisement my mum told me to sing 2 songs, one pop, one classical, and asked me which I felt more comfortable with. And I realised that it was classical. I mean, I was brought up in a highly classical musical background, first with vocals under Dr Wong Su San, then piano shortly after, with my mum. I liked it, no doubt, and I still do. But after hearing pop, I liked pop, better. Perhaps it was because the people around me liked pop, not classical. Because of this, I decided not to pick up classical vocal training after PSLE in the hope that my mum would allow me to train under JJ Lin's teacher Billy something... Now I realise that my high register voice isn't as suitable. There is little pop that is written for voice comfortable with notes 2-3 octaves above middle C, and I accepted that. I tried to tone down forzando (forget the spelling), that didn't work. SO, I want to train under Dr Wong again! (: The thing is, she might not want me after I destroyed my voice so badly with screaming and chili. PRAY FOR DISCIPLINE, LAURA.
Anyway gotta go. SMO tomorrow!!! (: Buh-bye guys! (:
hold me now at 9:00 PM
