My trip to New York with my choir, I visited Carnegie hall to sing on stage. Coming on stage was the scariest feeling knowing I have a part to sing by myself (A solo). The feeling I get when my part/verse is coming up is nerve racking. The only way to describe it is that time is getting slower, and slower then time just stops completely. All you can hear is your heavy breathing, and the doubt in my head. The hardest part is when its time to sing. The crowed gets so quite I cannot even hear a whisper out in the audience. If you have stage fright, which I did, it makes it even harder. Once you do it over, and over again it starts to get easier to stand in front of people, and preform. During every performance I get this tingling feeling in my stomach that almost feels like I have butterflies, but is not. …show more content…
It’s more of a scared but excited feeling. I feel this way because I can finally show the people watching how hard I worked, and why I have it. I got it for a reason, its time to show and prove to them why I got this.
It becomes easy once you start singing because me personally I feel alone, I feel comfortable with myself. In the end I just want to make something beautiful for everyone to hear. I have this comfort zone because I took lots of vocal lessons, and piano lessons for years. With more experience the easier things get. My goal has always been to make the whole crowed get chills at the end of my verse. If they don’t have chills, I haven’t really done my job.
The spot light at first is intimidating, but it becomes your best friend.
What I mean by that are once it’s on you yes everyone can see you no matter where you are in the auditorium. The best part about it, is you cant see anyone, the light is so bright that it blinds you from seeing farther than your own two feet below you. Music is what I love and its not easy just like anything in life there are obstacles in everything you do, but if you are really motivated in doing what you love you’ll get through them just like did in singing in front of huge crowds of people.
At the end of my verse it was straight silence, to me that means everyone was into it, to me that’s when I feel like I’ve done my job because during the silence there is bond that people had chills. To me if people are talking during your performance they’re not into it they rather be doing something else. It isn’t a good feeling at all. That’s when you know you haven’t done your job. After the silence of the crowed, I hear applause from every inch of the auditorium there is no better feeling. All that hard work paid off, and a good outcome and experience in the famous Carnegie
hall.
