Arrived an hour early, killed time by thinking of how I was going to attack that initial G note.. or was that an A flat. God knows. Anyway, went around the GSIS building to get me some water. Got back to the audition venue with a bottle of mineral water on one hand and bag, umbrella and music sheet on the other. I was filled with confidence at that moment.

Things just went by so fast and what do you know, I'm already on stage, about to start singing. I hit the first note of my song with a bit of strain but I knew I wasn't flat. I was about to hit a high B until a voice from the panel's section said "can we have him do a range check". I'm like "what the hell is he talking about?" What range check? I'm a friggin' tenor 1! Did a three scales and hit the notes exactly as they were hit on the piano. And then I hear a "thank you... " and I was a bit crushed. Questions came to my head... what did I do wrong? is my voice not fit for your friggin' musical? i've performed for royalty god dammit! But then, it subsided, my injured pride healed immediately. I just thought that my voice really wasn't meant for their musical. It's too refined. It came out too molded. Oh well, I'll still try out in other theater productions but will remain a full blooded choir boy. :) Like I said to a friend of mine, I have a feeling my voice ain't Elton John material. It's for Rachmaninov, Tschaikovsky, Poulence, and Penderecki. :)
