HELLO EVERYBODY
TODAY WE HAVE DEPRESSO MATCHA VENTI LATTE
I DON’T GO TO STARBUCKS BUT WELL IDK
On the day of release for this blog, I will be at WSMA–A singing competition from which you can earn medals and stuff–and dying.
Because I will be reminded of Friday, when we had to sing one of our contest songs in front of the school.
AND WE CHOKED SO BADLY WE WOULD HAVE KILLED A BLACK HOLE
IDK IF THAT MAKES SENSE OR NOT
But our choir teacher stopped us, explained to everyone what we were doing was difficult and we were nervous, and I could hear people laughing so–
After that she compared it to holding your math test in front of the whole school or reading your English essay in front of your class. And then people stopped laughing (some looked scared lol).
And then we choked again.
Hopefully we don’t screw up again lol
(This is one of those times where you can’t tell if people are being sarcastic or not, because a ton of people told us we did well…)
AND THAT BRINGS ME TO MY FIRST POINT:
How To Sing GUD
Listen to what you’re singing–memorize it!
This for some reason is really hard when you NEED to memorize something. But do it boi
If you wanna coast through without listening in a choral piece, then I ask you:
HOW MUCH LONGER TILL YOUR LUCK RUNS OUT
HOW MUCH LONGER TILL THE SHOW GOES SOUTH
HOW MUCH LONGER TILL WE ALL FALL DOWN
YOU RELY ON WIT
AND PEOPLE DIE ON IT
…
(Luck Runs Out Epic the Musical funni)
Seriously, you can only get so far with no effort.
PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR PART TRACKS Y’ALL
Also yawn and then hold that, it raises your soft palate and helps with tone.
How To Write GUD
Especially for emotion.
I’ve described “show, don’t tell” before here, but with the person (if doing first person) you pretty much have no choice because this sounds bad:
“I felt very angry.”
More like:
“I felt my blood begin to boil as something–something began to rise up in my skull. I felt my jaw clench, my voice raise as I spoke.”
MORE EFFECTIVE SEE
My suggestion? When you feel a really strong emotion, try and picture what’s happening–like try to think about how you would describe it to someone else. (Also works for feeling sick)
It can actually really improve your writing. (It’s easy to forget though but)
HOW TO CONJUGATE FIRST PERSON LATIN VERBS INTO PRESENT TENSE
YIPPIE
So first you take a Latin verb’s principle parts to see if the verb has an “a” before the “re.”
Example: amo, amare, amavi, amatus
SO NOW–we chop off the “are” to get the stem, “am”.
Now we slap an ending on it for what we want to say!
Our endings are: “o, as, at, amus, atis, ant”
What happens when we apply them?
o = amo: I love
as = amas: You love
at = amat: He/she/it/they(sing.) love(s)
amus = amamus: We love
atis = amatis: You all love
ant = amant: They(pl.) love
(The they singular is there because I’m not hecking saying “He or she got away”, I’m gonna say “they got away” to not waste my breath)
TADA NOW YOU HAVE A BECAUTIFUL CONJUGATED VERB
How To Deal With Public Humiliaton
Remember that this event does NOT define you, and you are a wonderful beautiful human being.
Everyone will probably forget about it, and nobody will care!
You can be amazing!
(i need to follow my own advice)
You can do activities that distract you from the event, like reading, writing, playing video games, listening to the soundtrack of Epic: The Musical…or take a nap.
AND THERE YOU GO
NOW YOU HAVE TIPS YOU DIDN’T WANT
OKAY BYE WISH ME LUCK IN WSMA AS I DO FOR YOU
