I’m pumped\Confidence.
Well, this Saturday at our local mall there’s going to be a Rock Band competition.
Believe it or not, I’m going to be doing vocals, now that’s going to be REALLY exciting. No sarcasm there for once, I’m already more than ecstatic about it. It’s such a huge change for me, I’ve honestly never been in the spot light before, and now I’m going to in front of…people that know me, and people that don’t…the interesting part is my complete lack of vocal experience
I’ve never had any kind of vocal lessons in my life…(unless you count speech lessons in elementary school because I didn’t talk very well) so the only singing I’ve EVER done is just like…you know, singing along on the radio, and….*drum roll*
Vocals on Rock Band, fortunately for me it would appear that I’m not tone deaf…I may not have a beautiful voice (It fits better for some songs than others) but I can stay in pitch, and that’s more than enough for me, I think I’m one of those people where either you like my singing voice or you don’t…(Granted I do sing slightly differently when I’m not following a little line and arrow) today someone described it as a “drugged up Kurt Cobain”…which, I guess some people enjoy that style, not my personal favorite, but hey, I guess it’s a start…
Meanwhile, about a week ago I was terrified. I’m not much of a people person, and I know that some people are just naturally cruel.
Now I am entirely ready though, I’ve 5*’d every song on expert vocals, some take more work than others, but I eventually did it. Some I still can’t consistently 5*, but you know what? At least I’ve got the courage to go up there, no matter how bad it is, and obviously there will be people who would do better who are too shy to go up there, I’m glad I’m starting to turn away from that side of me though…
Maybe I do need to step into the limelight for once. I think everyone needs to do it more than once in their life, its just an experience that could honestly change everything, haha hopefully it will even pick up my number of blog views for a while…
I’m hoping there will be some good video footage…I honestly don’t think I’m a bad vocalist, but I’m not the best…If I could pick up on some free vocal lessons, that would be awesome because I think I do a decent job with pitches, I just need a little more control, since I don’t really understand the mechanics of what I’m doing, I just do it.
Either way, I am READY for Saturday, as a matter of fact, I’m excited…It’ll be more fun than I’ve had in a while and I’ll get to meet new people….
I just wanted to let you guys know how excited I am, in case it wasn’t already evident…I’ll definitely try to have pictures and videos, hopefully this will just be my first Rock Band competition of many, since I’m addicted to the game.
Meanwhile, I’m gonna go, probably to play the game, if anyone has Rock Band and a PS3, my PSN is MyronJ906 and I’m an expert vocalist (#80 on the career leaderboards at the point of posting this)
P.S. Anyone else notice how I often say I haven’t blogged in ages, I find it sort of amusing that after I post, I’ll go back and see when the last time I posted was…and usually it’s only been a day or two….
That’s just how important you guys are to me, you’re an integral part of my life. Whether we actually talk, or you just read this, this blog, and the people reading it are my true friends and family, you’re almost even a part of me. Just keep that in mind. I love you guys more than you’d ever imagine.
