So I live in the UK, and as some of you might know, time went forward over the weekend signifying summer soon. Even though, it has been snowing nonstop and it has been the coldest Spring I have ever witnessed in my lifetime.
Made me realise how much time has passed and it’s just April. I have a few things to blog about.. I don’t really want to compress it all into this post though.
So for the first time, I developed Laryngitis last week. And I had 3 shows to sing at that week. It is undoubtedly, a scary experience. People lose their voice all the time- but I’ve never taken it seriously! Until it happened to me… Thankfully, it slowly started to heal and (even though not at 100%) still got to sing at 2/3 shows.
One of the venues I got to sing at was in London at Gibson Hall on Saturday.
Such a beautiful venue and people have used it for wedding ceremonies. It must have been really expensive to hire though. It was a good night with known acts such as the dance duo winners of Britain’s Got Talent: Twist and Pulse and the runner up winners: Signature (different years of course).
Even during the performance, I could still feel my voice straining. I’ve decided to take a break off singing for at least 2 weeks. It’s never worth losing your voice forever! I’ve realised, if I ever lost my voice it would literally be the one thing to truely break my spirit. Not even just to sing but in the way I speak and voice my opinion.
If you ever forget who you are, just remember:
