mmm

Call me psycho, but there is something so delicious about the screams on the original cast recording of Phantom of the Opera. If you haven't heard the Sarah Brightman version and are only enraptured by Emmy Rossum, you really have missed out. But this is not to start a comparison between the two. (There really isn't one.)

Anyhow, delicious scream. Honestly, I've always wanted to be able to scream like that. I'm sure there's a specific technique to do it without destroying your vocal chords. After all, these chorus girls have to keep singing and dancing for the entirety of the show!

And speaking of Broadway/West End productions...I want to be back on the stage. I have such a hate/love relationship with theatre. I love it. I love the way it makes me feel, I love the way it makes others feel. It's a wonderful thing. It's life, but not exactly how we experience it. It's exciting. It's an exploration. And it's been one of the single biggest stressors in my life.

*big sigh*

I want to be back on the stage, but there's something about it that's just wrong for me. It's not my fit. Sometimes I wish it were, but I know that there's something greater for me than the theatre. God has good plans in store, and I can hardly wait to see what they are!
