A Late Night Singing Vlog Featuring No Makeup and 3 Part Harmony

Well, folks - I'm still alive. I have zero free time, which is always fun. Opening night is fast approaching (for those of you that are new around here, I teach and direct high school theatre) this Thursday, and I truly do miss my free time and sanity.

Tonight I had some much needed alone time, so I took a shower and while I was singing in the shower, I thought it would be fun to do a singing vlog! I have done this one other time on my blog, many a years ago (so if you can find it, kudos to you and you get a cookie). Therein the problem lied - crazy air dried hair and no makeup. Two things you never catch me in the flesh.

Whatever, yo.

I have nothing to hide. And I love this song to pieces.



Well that's a lovely face.

I love how blogging can really keep me in check sometimes. I actually thought about reapplying my makeup and go crazy with fixing my hair just to film a stupid singing vlog. But what's the fun in that? To me it felt false and staged. I wanted to feel candid. I just wanted to sing the song, edit in the harmonies (I promise you I did this all in iMovie and without crazy music editing software) and call it a night. I just enjoy singing harmonies and wanted to have a little fun. Yes, this is fun for me for a Saturday night. Who cares if it isn't perfect? Who cares if I wipe snot away from my nose various times (stupid allergies)? Who cares if my video isn't HD and the sound is crappy quality?

It's me tonight. Me right now.

Awwwwwwwww, this was THE BEST!! Finally tuned in and was happy to hear such a beeeeautiful voice to one of my favorite songs as well. GOOD FOR YOU for showing yourself in such a vulnerable state, loved it!!! I grew up singing 2nd soprano so I pretty much know every harmony to every song out there (hahah) And most of the times I can't even pick out the melody because the harmony is so ingrained!! Funny ;-)
