I realize I am a lot of times really hard on myself--especially when it comes to my writing and my performances.
So last night I had a chance to audition in front of A&R for a major label...yeah, tell me why on any given night I can blow 'em out of the water and last night I would've begged for the sandman to pull my ass off stage like I was at the Apollo.
First, I FORGOT!!!!!!! (WTF?) as in blanked out, on a piece I have done like 650 times--
Normally this would not be a big deal, breathe in slow down start over...EXCEPT... I had decided to do the poem over music. So now I'm struggling to pick up and my timing is off and then it was deja vu Philadelphia--the mic cut off, not once but TWICE. Now not only am I struggling to stay on point but I'm doing mic handoffs midset, the AC is broken so I'm sweating like a runaway slave. FML. This just looks, feels and sounds like a scene from a very BAD movie.
Ugh.
sooooooo...needless to say I didn't make the cut for the project I was auditioning for. Sucks to be me. Maybe next time.
