Just a test thing... opinions please. Other than the fact that I'm sharp on the first bar or two :/ Any subsequent recordings where I stayed on pitch weren't as good as a whole..

edit: forgot to add... Philia is really beautiful, but really stupid. Hero is in love with her, but she's supposed to get married to this big scary war captain. This is her "brilliant" plan. |

Well, I did an experiment in harmony... Don't judge vocal quality as I haven't warmed up or anything and it was morning. But I hit the notes correctly, so there.

West Side Story was last night, and it was great. Sad that my high school shows were never so huge, though I am grateful for getting the chance to perform and learn some more obscure material, like She Loves Me.
Getting ready for Halifax, drafting my pretty pretty dress. I'm sure I will have photos to post after I get back.
Board meeting tonight, to discuss Fringe and pick our mainstage show. Exciting!
Then Amber comes over tomorrow for a photo shoot in my kitchen. And we have to pick up my brother in the evening.
Friday is Nightwish!
Then Saturday is packing. We decided it would be too much to go to Otafest for the day, and with West Side Story, and then getting called back into work last week, I haven't had time to do our costumes. They will be for Animethon.
Then we head off to the airport for an 8am flight! Busy busy busy... |

Wow, so the touring season coming here looks pretty good! Spamalot, Hairspray, CATS, and Annie. Hopefully I'll have the cash to see them (though I could probably do without Annie... and I have seen CATS from the wings :D)
Also good news is that the performance rights for The Light In The Piazza are now available. I'm wondering who of my director friends I can propose it to... I can even cast almost the whole thing with the actors I know. Clara is really one of my dream roles. Considering starting up a production company myself just to do it and play her.
So my hair is red again. I'm not sure if I like it, but it's starting to grow on me. It's not as deep a red as I wanted.. I think if I get my eyebrows done, it will look better.
Going to start on my commission for Martin's show right away here! |

Heh, so I spent most of the day in boy-drag.
( cut! )
I also spent the day cleaning out my costume room. And by cleaning out, I mean taking everything out and putting it in my living room. I will now commence sorting my trims and some fabric that didn't make it into bins. It's going to be quite the task. But once it's done, I can get started on our costumes. |

So Man of La Mancha is up and running now. It's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Horizon board members were telling me it's the best costume show that Horizon has done. Made me pretty happy.
Richard also asked if I would be interested in doing a one-act for him, since as much as he loves my work in costumes, he loves my work on stage, too. So hopefully that will come to fruition (and pretty soon!).
I was also asked to oversee the costumes for West Side Story at Strathcona Christian Academy. I'm not building anything!! But I will use my wardrobe management training *nodnod* Because I intend to start working on cosplay for Otafest for Denby and I. We'll probably only go on Saturday as we have tickets to Nightwish on the Friday and will be heading off to Halifax on the Sunday.
We're cosplaying as Eternal Sailor Neptune and Uranus :) I have wigs already (I have to colour my Neptune one, though) and I'm pretty excited since I haven't done costumes for myself or cosplay in a long time. |

SO busy.. still alive, though.
Ive been madly working on costumes for Man of La Mancha (opens next week! April 3-5, and 10-12!) and watching my newly acquired Seramyu tapes (originals :D). I have Sailor Stars, Sailor Stars Kaiteban, Eien Densetsu, Shin Kaguyashima Densetsu, and Starlights Ryuusei Densetsu here now, and four more coming (I can't remember which at the moment... I think the two Fumina ones and a couple of SuperS ones..)
Been buying far too much on Ebay lately, but some of it is show related... It's nice to have money, but I shouldn't spend so much. I won't be at the Citadel all summer, but it sounds like Patsy will call me in for the beginning of next season, so yay. They're going to do Wizard of Oz ^^;;;
I got a new cellphone, too. The number will stay the same, but I'm switching to Rogers when my contract with Telus is up. It's very pretty, and gold :)
Hmm... so yeah, Mikado came and went and it was fun. I ended up playing Peep-bo, not sure if I posted saying that. I like doing rented costumes much better than pulling costumes from thin air...
But anyway, I need to get back to work. |

Holy crow, it's the upperclass twit of the year! For real!
I don't know when I posted last, but I've been super busy. I've been working at the Citadel. It started as a few days of helping out with stitching on Beauty and the Beast (they were desperate) and then I was asked to come in the following week to help with finishing details and odd jobs. And then again for another couple weeks. Then I was asked to do wardrobe maintenance on Macbeth which is what I'm doing now, and it's awesome because I'm not working as long during the day so I'm not exhausted when it comes time to do all of my volunteer projects afterward.
I'm getting sick, though, which is bad. It's just my throat (which is the most important part! ;_; ) but it might escalate... as long as I'm over it by opening for Mikado, I'm fine.. |

I am feeling better. I am going to work hard and achieve my goals...
My brother called me today, as he had auditioned for The Mikado as well and was one of the last people to be notified. I guess it's down to him and one other guy for Pooh Bah, which is a role he's wanted since we watched the Stratford version of the show on DVD. They're concerned that he's a bit young, so they're going to do a callback and see what they can do with makeup. I'm so proud of him, since I've been pageant mom-ing him through his auditions. I think I need an audition mentor to help me with my pieces (who knows what they're doing... the boyfriend isn't much help, I'm afraid :P). Well, I've decided I'll be auditioning for The Man of La Mancha coming up. Whether I do the show or not, I'm not sure, but I'm going to try. The director was my King and I director, and he loves me (he's on the board for Sherard with me) :) Only thing is, the show is in a town that's kind of a drive, and I don't drive... I may have to arrange a carpool situation. But anyway.. I am going to be doing costumes for The Mikado (we got our grant, so we're renting costumes and wigs, so all I have to do is measure and fit), Crimes of the Heart (only six characters, and it's set in the 80s, so it will all be buy/pull) and as of last night, Man of La Mancha. Yes, I took on costumes for that, too. The director approached me to do it after he saw El Muchacho. It may hurt my chances at getting a part in it, but the more I audition, the better I'll get. Who really knows. I sort of have an actual paying job, too... It hasn't started yet. I'll be designing and making children's clothing for a web-based company starting up. Which means I get to work from home. So I actually can do the costumes for all of these shows and perform in Mikado and South Pacific (and Man of La Mancha, but auditions aren't until November and it goes up in April). Am I crazy? Probably. Do I love what I'm doing? Absolutely. |

Little bit put off.
We got a note Saturday that someone was coming to clean the furnace today at 8am and they might have to come in to our place to clean the vents.
They show up at 8, sure enough. So I haul my ass out of bed (after not really sleeping last night) and wait.
Didn't even knock on the door...
I could be sleeping right now. |

No call back for me for Mikado. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I've not heard anything. I'm thinking they'll stick me in the chorus again, and I'm worried it might just be because I'm doing costumes, too. I can handle doing it all......
We did get our grant for wigs and costumes. Makes my job much, much easier. :)
Hopefully will find out soon.... |

So my audition for The Mikado was last night. I think it went well. My voice was a little raspy at the beginning, but I totally nailed the sustained high B at the end. Hopefully they'll attribute the beginning to nerves. My hands went totally numb right when I started, which was weird.
They hadn't heard my song before (Art Is Calling For Me), so hopefully my performance will stand out.
I didn't get too much feedback other than "good job". Oh, and the director asked me if I was still at my highschool, looking over my resume quickly. I think it was an attempt to figure out how old I was, because they're not going to cast anyone too young in a lead (at least for Yum-Yum, and some of the other gentlemen). I didn't reveal my age, though, and just said "no, I'm a college graduate at this point." hehe, pretty sneaky :P Not that it matters, because the music director has me on Facebook and can check that I'm only 20.
But I think I did a good job. I should find out tonight if I have a callback (hopefully they don't spring anything on me day-of, but I'll take it if that's the case!).
Lexy and Evan were there when I got there as well, and Lexy went before me. She sounded quite good and I liked her song, but didn't recognize it. There was a scheduling mix up, so they had to move rooms after Lexy and before me, so I had to go down to the basement. Apparently, Heather had to come close the door because my singing was traveling all over the entire church. Go me :D So much for being too quiet a few years ago.
I really, really, really want to find a voice teacher, though.. I am absolutely paranoid that I'm doing something wrong and I'll give myself nodes :/
edit: Whoooooo, the lovely lady who played Katalina in El Muchacho is directing Crimes of the Heart at The Walterdale and asked me to do costumes for it :D Before anyone says I'm nuts for taking on another project, it only has 6 characters and it's set in the 80s, so it would minimal to no build, but I'd be designing it still. Much like doing One Acts at RDC *nodnod*. I'm pretty excited. What wonderful things making connections can do...
Oh, and I'll be starting a job soon, working from home, making and designing children's clothing. It's kind of like consignment, so I can set my own hours and "wage", by working out cost of material and labour for each garment/whatever. I'm excited for that, too! |

The Barber of Seville at the Met is on PBS. The costumes are breathtaking... All Restoration period :) I pointed and yelled out "Fontage!!!" heheh.. And they have leather frock coats.. Rosina is quite good, too.
So... I've been super lucky as of late. Denby and I finally got a couch. And it's gorgeous, antique-style (but not an antique) and only cost $100 bucks. The matching chair had already been spoken for, but then that person didn't show up, so we got that, too, for another $25. Wow.
Then, Benny came over with Mom to drop Seany off and he got me an iPod nano as a grad present. With a pink case :)
Auditions for the Mikado are coming up. My soprano has been doing pretty well, I just need to keep up with practice every day. I want to start up voice lessons soon, too.. Hoping again for one of the Three Little Maids. And I am doing the costumes. As well as starting my duties on the board for Sherard Musical Theatre.
Rehearsal for South Pacific will start soon, too, so I'm excited :D
Also, Richard saw my costumes for El Muchacho and wants me to design them for Man of La Mancha in Spruce Grove. Really exciting!
And... I need to get a paying job now >.> |

My wigs came today!
I didn't get pictures of the boy-ish wig because it wanted to keep sliding back on my head (thanks to the non-wig cap I was using... I'll get my real one another time and get pics of it since it's sexy..) But, the other three!
Ignore the large zit on my forehead...
My blonde and cutesy one.. I just got it on a whim, and had to outbid someone to get it. But I think it's adorable..
Jessica Rabbit-esque... Since I'm going to try to stop dying my hair for a while (since it's pretty close to the natural colour now..) and it has a nice wave..
The beginnings of my Betty Boop Halloween costume~ |

So this is awful.. I'm sitting here with a little over 3/4 of my hair covered in dye... I didn't get enough. Two boxes was enough in January, apparently it's not now T_T
I've sent Denby out to the 24 hour shoppers... Hopefully he can get it in a timely manner...
I have to be up early... Like, really early. I have to be at the theatre for 7:30, and have costume, hair and makeup ready. We're doing a promo for El Muchacho on Global morning, so those of you who get an Edmonton feed, watch us! We start at about 8:09.
I've been buying wigs tonight... One for a Betty Boop type costume I've had in the works, one Fuu-like fluffy blonde one, one Jessica Rabbit style and one sexy boyish style I intend to add a ponytail to for a Seiya/Starfighter costume. They're all gorgeous. :) |

Whoo, so I made a lovely 1860s style dress for Passion in about 2 1/2 days for photoshoot that was done yesterday. Carolyn looked quite lovely. Martin, Nicole and I were sewing like crazy for this past week to get everything ready.
We did some Muchacho photos too, with the super awesome sombreros I found in the antique mall here. Hopefully will have photos sent to me shortly so I can share :)
There hasn't been much else to report since I've been in my sewing room and no where else. But tomorrow, my friend from waaaaay back in the day, Steph Wong is going to come visit me and we're going to go for lunch! Pretty excited, I haven't seen her in 4-5 years.
Then, it will be back to sewing! |
