As of four hours ago, I have burgundy-red hair. I begin to see what Mum meant when she told me that any freckles I have would be more visible with red hair. I thought I didn't have any, and you still can't see them unless you're looking hard, but they're there all right. I had forgotten just how much hairdye reeks, especially when you move around. Looks good, though.
Yesterday's singing lesson went well - we discovered that I'm scared of microphones and singing wrong notes by myself. The microphones was fixed easily - I'll be using one at every single lesson from now on, and I got a lot more confident using it just in yesterday's lesson. Would you believe that I'd never used one before? Any time anyone was using them for a performance, they'd go "Freya, we only have three between four singers. You sing loud enough to not need one, you'll be the odd one out." Takes some getting used to, the different sound from the speakers.
To fix the other one, I've been instructed to sing over the top of CDs, then turn the volume up so that I actually have to work to do so. I like this. I've had to work hard at not overwhelming other people's voices over the years, and this is not a direction I've gone in before. I'm just not sure that my speakers can go that loud.
The teacher liked my choice of songs - well within my range (but then, what isn't?) and with enough emotion that I can express it, and easily tweaked to make it my song.
