Spring Break

Hmph. I hate it when these unexpectedly long delays happen between blog entries. (and I'm also not a fan of how they seem to be becoming a trend.)

 

So, life update!

 

My semester has been busy so far. That's what comes of taking five full courses, I guess, but wow there's a big difference between that and the normal 4/4.5 I had last semester. Which is part of the reason for the lack of updates. I just haven't had -time- to work on much of anything not school-related.

 

But that should change now that I'm on break. I did manage to get a drawing of Gali Mistika and the Akaku Phantoka, both Project Nuva-style, done in the last couple weeks, and I'll be working on them – and drawing more – in the next two weeks. And getting some MOCing done. You'll be seeing the first bits of that soon. Maybe even tomorrow! But I shouldn't get your hopes up.

 

Otherwise, I absolutely love the acapella group I'm in. We've settled on seven songs in our first concert, and are still deciding on an eighth that'll be my solo. Four of them are classics for the group – Under the Sea, Beauty and the Beast, Wish Upon a Star, and Lovely Night – and then we're adding four new ones: I'll Make a Man out of You, Belle, A Whole New World, and whatever my solo ends up being.

 

It's frustrating being a baritone singing Disney songs. All the heroes are tenors and all the villains are bases, and they're the ones with the cool songs... I can go low enough to do some bass parts (I've gotten stuck as Gaston in "Belle" and my solo will probably be technically bass as well), and can do -most- of a tenor part, but not all of either. Oh well.

 

Not complaining, though!

As much as I'd hate to say this, prepare thyself; this will not change as long as your a college student. Still, sounds like you are still doing productive stuff. :)

Do "Go the Distance" for your solo.

I'd love to; I love that song, but I'm pretty sure it's out of my range. By a lot.

 

And hrmmm. I'm hoping I'll have a bit more free time next semester, since I'll be taking fewer classes, but... we'll see, I guess?

 

And no, I don't do musicals. I do tech for theatrical productions. Not acting.

Be Prepared or One Last Hope. I decided on One Last Hope for my most recent musical audition, but I almost did Be Prepared. They work okay for bass, and Be Prepared is especially good for baritone.

So, uh, having never actually seen the Lion King (a shameful thing), I just went and listened to Be Prepared for the first time ever. And it's more than a bit awesome. And in my range, I think! So I might well do that, if our director lets me.

 

But thanks muchly for suggesting it. This could be very good indeed!

 

(I was leaning toward Hellfire, from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, beforehand, since I can sing all of it even though it's a bass part, but this would be even better. :3 )
