In Alaska..

Alright so I realize I'm out of the challenge but it doesn't mean I have stopped practicing...

The ship's internet is so terrible on the west coast so I'm unable to blog daily.

Let's just talk about how beautiful Alaska is like absolutely stunning I can't even get over it. When I arrived to Vancouver I practiced singing while looking out on snow covered mountain tops.

The cast is very talented and watching all the singers has inspired me even more.

I'm back playing the pitch game with my friend Jeanna...and she commented that my ability to match her pitch is much better than last contract..ha..it better be..

I'm able to do my charitable deeds here..we had a 'Walk for Wildlife' which raised alot of money for wildlife conservation. We also painted pictures for a hospital which we'll take with us with we visit next Vancouver.

Warmed up while packing last minute.
I did a couple Kyo kyu with out craking...

Took Ray's tap class (not at BDC though .. Sorry..)

The showcase was today. 'because' didn't cut it the second show..

Back to singing on a ship tomorrow.. So long New York..

Day 7 ( one week done already?)

So this week is over, at the start of the week I felt like time was going slow but it's Saturday already... Time is a funny thing.

Today I practiced for 1.5 hours going through exercises. I'm still having trouble transitioning from middle to chest on Kyo and kyu...
I then tried to work through look at me I'm Sandra dee and Andrew Lloyd webber songs.

I had to move apartments today.. I'm so lucky that I have Sheridan.. She walked my suitcase from her place to mine and then helped me get all my stuff to where I'll be living when I get back. I think that should count as one of her charitable deeds...

Her and I went to our housemates resturant and had some healthy Mexican / tapas ... Photos o come...

Day 6

Warmed up this morning in the kitchen while cooking breakfast.

Sang through because...but that's all I had time for today...working till 1am the night before doesn't help...

Went and took jack's ballet, I haven't done that class in such long time and I had forgotten how much I loved his class.

I also took Josh's class but had to run out early to get to work. 

Day 5

Packed lunch for the day...

One of my friends introduced me to peanut butter and ham sandwiches and I had bought ham for them in my fridge so I thought that it would be a good source of protein with natural no sugar added peanut butter on wholegrain bread. Also taking a peanut butter granola bar with me.

Daily practice today happened in my room. Warming up and going through 'Because' soprano section. Making sure I'm not going flat.


Sheridan and I had an amazing tour of New York City ballet today!

Day 4

Today I practiced at Ripley Grier. I went through an old lesson, working through warm up exercises.

I also practiced 'Not for the life of me' and 'Any dream will do', Because and telephone hour.

I was confirmed today that I will be going on a replacement contract on the Disney Wonder in Alaska. 

This means I won't be able to follow all the requirements of the challenge, but I'm going to continue with the elements I can continue. I'm extremely excited to get back to the kids on the ship and to be performing everyday again. I'll miss doing class though and think that this break will increase my motivation even more. 

Day 3

Warm up!
Then worked on Songs from a New World. The opening and 'I'm not afraid of anything'
