Never Try, Never Know

I went for my first ever informal audition for a gig hours ago. Its informal as the guitarist that was auditioning me made the session a please one and more of a jamming session. He is a great dude, but of course, i am not up to standard. He is still very encouraging and positive. I'll 'wait' for his reply but expect the reply! Just hope that there will be more such session soon. Please do not give me false hope, GL.

Initially, i was hestitating whether to give it a try. Knowing that my standard is below par, i would not stand a chance against the rest. But still, i am having a slight hope that it might finally be a chance for me to 'shine'. haha. Honestly, i am going there for the experience. Never try, never know... isn't it?

One main reason for me to take up this opportunity is that i am losing confidence in music. Definitely not the money factor. There are many way better singer around me that sound great! Imagine i am living in this kind of world! haha... Its an honor to have them as friend, on a negative side, its a pressure and demoralising. On the positive side, i have to work harder... But as human, we tend to think abit negative first! haha. I know that i always have stage fright or crowd fright. If i don't even overcome the auditioning part, i will still face the same issue. I will not even have a chance to be afraid of stage/crowd!

For a split second, i did ask myself if i should continue singing. That is when i walk out of YAMAHA. Despite the fact that GL was very encouraging and positive, i still find my performance one of my worst! My voice is tired and sang too high without really warming up. Thanks to those people who encourage me when hearing that i am trying out tonight. Thanks guys.

Now i fully understand why i am always being missed out when there is an idea of organising a performance. why i am not in the list of possible candidate. I guess i am really not up to standard yet. Its demmoralising but i accepted the truth...

Not to worry, at the moment, i am not throwing my towel... YET! At least, i know, i took a huge step forward. Things can only get better, isn't it?
