I'm Nervous

You probably knew from my previous stories that I was in choir from fourth grade until senior year and that I took voice lessons for about a year and a half. But I bet you didn't know that, a few days ago, I went on Instagram and signed up for The Voice. Yes, if you thought of The Voice as in on Live television and I could win money, then yes, that's the right one.

If the title of this story hasn't said anything, then I'll tell you that I'm nervous as hell for my audition. I have 9 days until my audition and, despite the fact that I know what I'm singing, I'm anxious. If you have read my stories and paid attention, you would also know that I get nervous singing on camera. I'm totally fine acting, but singing gets to me. I might sing in front of celebrities that are known around the world and that absolutely terrifies me. I'm mainly taking my shot for a few reasons. One, because maybe I can be noticed by someone important and go somewhere bigger. Two, if I possibly win, I'll get money and yes, money doesn't buy happiness, but money absolutely get you places in life, including an apartment for my boyfriend and I. Another reason is because if I get far enough to be on TV, they'll fly me to California, which is where Jayson lives. And finally, I WANNA MEET JOHN LEGEND!!! He's literally an icon, one of his most famous and romantic songs I've heard is All of Me, which is a beautiful piece.

I understand that in order to get to a high point in my life, I have to work hard for it. But this is bigger than anything I've ever done. I've been on YouTube a few times and I'm decent at Tiktok. I've been on TV once, but it was for a small local news station that no one really watches and it was years ago. At that time, I didn't even know that I was gonna be on TV until we were done filming. But besides that, I've never done anything this big. If I make it to California, I'll be on TV! National Television, where anyone around the world can watch my short 5'3 ass stutter and shiver profusely.

But sometimes, I just imagine how people I personally know and love would react to me winning the prize money in the end. The look on their faces would be astonishing! And same here, I doubt I could win The Voice. But, I personally think I have a chance.

Another thing I'm also nervous for is moving all the way across the country to California. I've never been outside the US and the farthest place out west that I've been to was Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. I went on a Boy Scout trip years ago and that's where we went. But I've never been to California. California is also where Hollywood and Disneyland is, which is really big and pretty important. But The Voice is also hosted in California. Jayson also lives in California, so it'll be worth it in the end, whether I win or not.

Nonetheless, I am pretty excited(and nervous) to run against tons of other older, more talented and skilled musicians in a nationally televised competition where worldwide celebrities might be judging me based on my voice. The pressure has never been this intense or real for me before in my life. But, like everyday, my stories come to a temporary end. If you've read my stories and this one, thank you. It means a lot to me and I can't say enough how much I appreciate anyone who does. If you like my stories, what is wrong with you? All jokes aside, goodnight, and until next time :)
