I now just do not think I'll make it into any Shelley shows.
(insert picture from This is a Test)
I just had a moment of self-realization,
which seems to be the worst possible thing to happen.
(insert picture of make-crew from Music Man)
I can not sing.
Sure, I can sing hymns from the books and whatever songs
the choir teacher assigns us.
But I can't sing. Not really good anyway.
This sort of thing happens when you're the one with
friends who can sing like a beast.
But honestly, now that I think of it,
my chances in the Shelley Shows
aren't very good.
I'm a moderate actress,
but a mild singer.
There's no way. None at all, it seems.
if I can't sing.
Shelley Shows are a tricky fate that is difficult to tamper with.
Until the fate can be ensured,
for the first time,
I don't know if I can do Shelley Shows.
Self doubt is terrible.
Don't be like me.
talia darling,
ReplyDeleteyou can do anything you put your mind to. and yes you can sing, everyone can and it's up to that person to decide how well. i think you have a beautiful voice. don't worry what others think. show shelly what you can do, show him what your capable of and all you can do.
you're only as good as you think you are.
you're the best!
love ya,
austyn (julia + proteus forever :)
you did NOT just write that.
ReplyDeleteTalia, you are a triple threat.
Do you know how many people would kill for that?
I am certainly one of them.
You can dance like a beast. & you are not a decent actor. You are an amazing actor. It doesn't even matter if you aren't an astounding singer. As long as you can stay on key, you can get the part. Seriously, I have been in so many shows where the leading role had a very iffy singing voice...
I would die to have your skills.
Talia, if you manage to convince yourself that you can't sing, I will shun you like I'm shunning Sequoia for going to UCAS.
ReplyDeleteThere are 3 key items for a good voice:
*A good tone
*Being able to keep on key,
And
*Inflection.
You are AMAZING at all of those. Do you think Mecham would have cast you in a lead roll in a musical if you could not carry a tune?
You are a daughter of God. One, might I add, who has a beautiful voice.
(commenting... again.)
ReplyDeletei've thought the same things... my voice just isn't 'show/stage worthy'.
and every time i tell myself that my voice is a gift. not just any gift but one from heavenly father, he gave it to me for a purpose, just like he gave you yours for a reason. who cares what others think of your voice, if you enjoy singing then sing.
i thought you were going to sing so even the deaf could hear you. go back to that mentality and sing to your hearts content. because pretty much it's more fun that way.
