I have a problem...

So I have a problem.













FINALLY my chorus teacher is starting an a capella club for chorus 2/3 students. I've been wanting to be part of one forever, and now my dream could come true.

The only problem is, because we have a somewhat large group of people who want to join, we have to audition for a spot. Now I'm not a great solo singer at all and I sound like a dying whale. However, when it comes to harmony, I'm actually good.

Now originally I just wanted to do a duet or trio with my friends who are good singers and maybe be their backup or whatever. But my teacher decided that we HAVE to sing at least one solo, which truly terrifies me as we will be doing the auditions in front of a panel of four teachers at our school, one of which does NOT like me.

Her reasoning behind us doing the solo is to have us "display our talents". I tried to explain to her that my  talent IS harmony, but she didn't accept it. Now I'm fricken terrified because I hate singing solos (hence why I wanted to be in an a capella GROUP) and the other people wanting to join the club are really good singers so I probably wouldn't make the cut singing alone.

I have a week to prepare a song, and I don't have any idea of what song I'd like to do in my range because when I'm listening to music I always hum/sing harmonies along with the singer. And not only that, but we have to sing two songs and I'm not even sure if any of my friends would actually want to sing with me because they are good at solos.

I really want to be a part of the club, but the idea of singing a solo actually terrifies me. A small confident Jk auditioned for All County a few years ago sure she'd get accepted and got her small dreams miserably crushed. And that has happened multiple times. I hate the fact that I bugged my teacher so much about this idea and now I'm considering not even auditioning.













If anyone would like to meet with me for voice lessons anytime soon I'm totally up for that.














And also not only do I need a voice teacher, but clearly I need a therapist because I am on the verge of a panic attack just thinking about it.
