Stage 3, Day 21 (again)
Repeating because didn't really listen to anything until 6PM today. Gonna repeat it.
AUDITION DAY:
Wake up at 5am, get cab to bus station and grab bus by 6am, get to neighboring city by 9am, filled out application by 10am, get sent upstairs to the audition waiting room by 11am, audition by 12:15pm or so.
I did pretty decently. Didn't do any warmups except breathing exercises. It'd be cool if they had a little room to do warm-ups, but whatever.
But, NO ANXIETY about performing. I was still pretty eager about getting it done with, but I had no anxiety about performing. That's PSTEC Level 1 & PSTEC Peak Performance for ya.
I expected the judges to be pretty dry and unimpressed no matter what or how I would do; after all, they've done this 25 days, probably for 10-12 hours each day.
All I can really expect is to wait, keep practicing hard, and trust that Universe/LOA will either follow through on this opportunity, or give me equal success with a new opportunity.
Quite frankly, I was thinking about what would happen if young Freddie Mercury (Queen I & II), young (breathy) John Mayer, Lennard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Sting, etc. auditioned for 'The Voice'. They'd probably get laughed at. And that's the point; it's not exactly the talent that is important, it's the intellectual property (IP) you're able to create. Your talent is there to re-create your IP, over and over again. That's what makes an artist valuable.
