Hey YouTube! My name is Megan, and I'm a Theatre kid.
The Theatre has had my heart for over half my life.
The only problem is, I have a pretty serious case of what I like to call "Musical Stage-Fright."
Ask me to give a speech or tell a story in front of a crowd of people and,
for the most part, I'm okay.
But set the same story to music, and I suddenly lose my ability to breathe, and I shake uncontrollably.
This really sucks cuz I mean, what theatre kid doesn't love a good musical?
I've always had this to some degree, but it's gotten progressively worse. (I was actually in musicals in high school).
Now I have to psych myself up for weeks just to try an audition.
Here's the thing. Fear has its place.
Having a good old-fashioned gut feeling or goosebumps or a pounding heart when you're actually in some kind of danger...
is a good thing.
It keeps you alert and it helps you get out of there.
But when it come, when it keeps you from doing something you care about, it's a bully, and it needs to be addressed.
I don't like being afraid.
And as weird as it sounds, I've noticed this little fear...
kind of, seeping into other parts of my life. I'm not what you call the picture of confidence.
I've taken voice lessons now for a little while,
but I figured I would kick it up a notch, and force myself to sing a song or two on the Internet.
That's what this channel is for.
Beyond that, you should know I have NO idea what I'm doing.
I have no idea how often I will post, or when I will sing.
I have no idea if, or when I will show my face,
Or anything else I might do with this channel.
Right now, I'm recording this voice over on my laptop and my crappy microphone.
I'm just gonna kind of go and see what happens. I hope you like it. And I'm excited to see what comes of it.
Until next time, stay fearless, and thanks for watching. Bye!
