York Gospel Choir

Well, today was the day for the audition for the new York Gospel Choir
I was so extremely scared and didn't decide what to sing until the last little while!

I got there and saw other people I know from church who were scared too, so that made me feel better. My name was called, I went in, stood before 3 people (felt like x-factor) and sang! My voice was completely different to my practicing, but I liked it, it felt strong and confident.

So all was good and I got through! Even though I had to stop singing because I forgot the words!

So here's to a new adventure, practices are weekly, and even though the choir hasn't started yet, the guy who runs it has 5 bookings for it! We will be singing a mix of contemporary and traditional Gospel, worship songs, and secular stuff at weddings, concerts and what not!

Looking forward to it.

Oh and for the record, I'm going down as a Mezzo Soprano or just a flexible whatever's needed!
