Yep, you need to relax. When you get tense, you're vocal cords tighten, and that's what makes you sound pitchy.

Just imagine that the judges sitting there naked in front of you. --Cause that's how they'll be imagining you.

Listen here, little missy. You go out there and give it your best try. That's all you can ask from yourself. Best try.

Face the back of the stage, like Jim Morrison did.

I was in Seal Beach for the last couple of days (not really LA but part of the great LA region) and the place was ok. The beach communities keep things a bit nicer then the rest of the **** hole which is LA but they still had rampent over development, noisy traffic at all hours, congestion, smog, and everything else people associate with LA. Luckily, Monterey Park was nearby so you could get great east Asian food for like $4-$5 per person (Monteray Park is a city which is now 90%+ East Asian and those Asians seem to do a lot of fighting amoungst themselves with Chinese and Koreans hating Japanese, Vietnamese hating other indoChinese as well as Vietnamese who say anything positive about the communist government [they burned down the store and attempted to lynch a man who showed a picture of a North Vietnamese flag], and strangely the Thais don't seem to piss anyone off [they just keep opening massage parlors and restaurants]).

What's next?

American idol?

Whatever happened to jeopardy a few weeks ago?

[Tiamat]

It was Millionaire, and that try out was cool but you literally have to have a perfect score. I knew all but two of the answers so I didn't get picked. There was another lady in line next to us and she knew all sorts of trivia stuff to and she didn't get picked.

Did you know that you don't get the money when you win it. You tape the show and 30 days after the show airs you receive the money, that way if you work for them or one of their companies and you lied they will have time to find out and pluck the money right out of your hands. So if you tape the show in May but it doesn't air until November you have to wait until December to get your money! Talk about suck.

And I can't do American Idol because I'm to old. 29 is the age cut off limit for that so this is really the only thing in terms of singing that I can hope to do.

[Addled Platypus]

did you say what song Tiamat ?


do the Brady thing and imagine them min underwear/thongs

[Tiamat]

You have to sing accapella and they request you prepare a 90 second song with a back up. Somewhere over the rainbow Patti LaBelle style with modualtion that always gets people although I don't know why.

[Caligastia]

Good luck!

Take a couple of swigs of bourbon to calm your nerves beforehand.

[Zkribbler]

Tia...??

[Thorn]

You know my prophecy says that....... oh don't bother with it, have a good time Tia.... live every moment like it could be your last

(LOL j/k AFAIK LA is a target but won't get hit so don't worry about it)
