As I stepped out of the subway today I wasn't sure what to feel. I was running late and felt slightly unprepared for my first coaching session with a new voice teacher. However, when I finally reached his apartment on West End Ave I was greeted by his sweet dog, Jen, and immediately put at ease. We went right to work, picked out a couple of new audition songs and worked on the perfect cuts to show off my range and ability. He also had a couple of ideas for me to get involved in some upcoming shows. I will fill in with details when they are confirmed. By my next lesson I will have 30 new songs to choose from and add to my repertoire.
After I left my lesson I felt something that I hadn't felt for quite some time...confidence. When you have it you walk a little taller. You are focused and have purpose in everything you do. There isn't anything or anyone that can get you down. With my new found confidence comes freedom from doubt, a feeling of trust, belief in myself and my abilities and hopefulness that events to come will only reflect that confidence. I will fear no longer that which I cannot control.
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face" Eleanor Roosevelt.
