In choir, we're singing the song "For Good" from the musical Wicked, if you know it. We had an audition for the solo at the beginning ("I've heard it said that people come into our lives.....but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you"). I had practiced singing it in a head voice. But I forgot that if I sing longer than 45 minutes, I can't sing any lower than the E above Middle C in a head voice. The director, suprisingly, called on me first, and I remembered that it had been 2 hours, and I definitely couldn't sing the low B in a head voice. So I had to sing it in a chest voice. In front of the whole chorus. Being a soprano, I have barely any experience singing in a chest voice. Nobody has ever heard my voice alone except for the director, so I was scared shitless. I was shaking all over the place, and I sang horribly. It was just awful. The director was totally suprised, since she knows about my stage fright woes. And the other girls did much better than me. The director knows I'm a good singer, but my audition was ghastly.
I'm sooo embarassed. What do you guys think of this situation? (link)

Ok, I'm in a local girl choir that tours places like Hawaii & such & during our recent spring semester, we sand the song For Good. I didn't audition for the solo at the beginning, but a lot of the girls I'm good friends with in girl choir did. Personally, the solo at the beginning doesn't have a big range & I'm pretty sure (if I remember right) the lowest it goes is a B flat below middle C. If you have to sing in chest voice for a note that low & you're a Soprano, that's completely normal, since you're used to singing higher pitches.
As for singing in front of groups, I'm just like you. I get really nervous. I can sing in front of people I know well (friends & family) fine. But auditions and such, I shake. I'm working on improving this, but what I'm doing is just singing with/for my friends, & just practicing my singing in general. If you know you can sing good, then you will. Believe in yourself. =)

Usually, I have a vocal range from E3(the E below Middle C) to C6 (The C two octaves higher than Middle C). But whenever I'm in chorus, for some reason, I can barely sing the high A. I don't see why. Does anyone have ideas?
And please, only answer this if you know about the subject. (link)

I'm into the whole singing thing & I think I know whats wrong.
Position is one thing; at home you're probably just however you want to be standing/sitting when you sing but in choir, you most likely have to sit/stand a certain way.
Also, there's chest & head voices. In choir, for some reason, you could be singing in chest voice (the voice between speaking & singing that has a lower range, making it hard to hit high notes). You could be singing in a chest voice just because (if it's school choir you're talking about) it's not what you want to sing. At home, you can sing whatever you want, but in choir, you can't. So you might not like it that much & aren't as into it so by giving less effort, you end up singing in chest voice rather than head.
I'm in a local girl choir so I know a lot about all this. If you wantto know any more, let me know.

so im considering getting a perm. my hair is naturally straight and its not thin but not thick either its sorta in between. i dont want like really tight curls i want loose ones that are sort of wavy. the reason im considering it is because it takes a long time to curl my hair. i go to a salon to get my hair cut so i know it wont turn out bad but what do yall think? do you think its too drastic? im worried it will turn out bad and i want to know if you can straighten your hair after you get a perm. thanks!

I got my first perm awhile ago, I was 11 & now I'm 13, & I liked it a lot. When one would start to wear out, I'd get another. Now, the last perm I had is starting to wear out, but it's still wavy & I don't like it. (I got sick of having a perm after awhile) But yes you can straighten a perm. You can buy kits at Wal-Mart that do the exact opposite of a perm (straighten) & you can do at home in about a half hour- 45 minutes or so. Also, just to warn you, when you have a perm, you have to do a lot of extra things with it getting it ready. So be prepared.

My hair is unmanagable.
Even when I straigten it, it is all frizzy and poofy. Its so frustrating.
I hate it.
I heard on advicenators someone telling someone else you can get your hair permanantly straightened in a salon for like 75 bucks. I don't want to get in Japanese straightened because it costs a lot of money. If I get it done at a salon for 75 bucks, how long will it last?
Does it really work?

Haha you sound like me. :) That happens to me.
But anyways, I kept getting my hair permed for about a year & a half but then I decided to get it straightened. My mom bought me a straightener, but it just made my hair really frizzy & it didn't completely get rid of the curls.
So, she bought a straightening kit. It's like a perm, but without curlers & it does the complete opposite; it straightens. It only takes about a half hour or so and it doesn't get frizzy & lasts a long time.
Try it. You can probably find a kit at Walmart or Target.
