Whew. Yesterday was the first day of class at the conservatory.
And it has been quite a whirlwind the last couple of weeks.
I auditioned for the Baroque Ensemble last week, and to my disappointment, was not admitted into the ensemble for this year. My audition did not go very well; for some reason I ran out of breath at the ends of about three of my phrases. I think I was really nervous, because I wanted to be in Baroque so badly. Isn't that ironic.
However, I did get selected for a callback for the Musical Theater Production of Sondheim's "Into the Woods". The callback auditions will be held on Friday. I have a callback for the role of "Rapunzel". Hopefully that goes well.
I also just got an email that I was accepted into an ensemble/class called "Operatic Stage Direction". In that class we will learn how to direct opera scenes, as well as perform in scenes that others are directing.
The rest of the classes I will be taking are: Basic Phonetics, where we learn how to write the sounds of speech using the International Phonetic Alphabet, Beginning French, Advanced Italian, Beginning Acting, a history class called "Orfeo's Lyre", Vocal Physiology, and a composition class called "Creative Uses of Electronic Music". Of course if I am accepted into the Musical Theater production I will be participating in that, as well. So it's going to be a very busy year. And then there are my regular voice lessons with Jane Randolph, piano lessons with Paul Hersh, and a weekly coaching with Tim Bach. Oh and one other class, Vocal Performance Lab every Wednesday afternoon.
I also got a job as the student assistant in the registrar's office. So I have been very busy helping get everything ready for registration, and then spending two full days registering all the students in the school (with the registrar and assistant registrar) for their classes for this semester. It's been intense.
Tomorrow I start with an early morning of French at 8:30am. I guess I'd better go get a little homework done before then.
Goodnight!
