Singing!

When I was in middle school, I was a part of my church's choir. I thought this was amazing- I was always gotting caught singing in the shower, singing in my room with the door closed... and now was my chance to show off in front of the whole church how awesome I was! Nevermind the fact that everyone who auditioned got in...

So, the first time we preform, I notice a key difference between me and the soloist. When I hold out a note, it sounds like this:

When she held out a note, it was more like this:

(I later learned from my violin lessons this is called vibrato, but when I was little I called it 'bouncing'.)

So, in a quick desicion, I decided I'm going to bounce my voice loud and proud.

It was after this out burst that my friend sitting next to me turned to me, with a confused look on her face. "What are you doing? Are you ok?"

My voice has been much less bouncy since then.
