Nice work today, Ruze! Sorry to hear about the vocal coach. Even if they aren't running a scam, that's still trying to take advantage in a way you dont need to excuse. If you're not having luck finding lessons through web, might I suggest, if there are any schools or community theaters in your area, checking out there! Even if there isn't a bulletin board with a "vocal lessons" ad, asking local performers can be a good way of finding a reputable local vocal teacher! Hope that helps
2:01:32 Just wanted to give Context cuz I saw some Ruzaders worried about Hazing 😅😅 My Highschool had a tradition of allowing Seniors, on the Second Semester and during its Fridays, to dress up during class recess for pictures AND remaining that way for the rest of the day until the bell rang, since it was their last year, as a way of gradually saying goodbye to school (mind most students, not me, were uninterruptedly there from kindergarten up all the way till senior, so it was kinda of an gesture towards them, given for many it was an emotional year). We called those "pranks/rites of passage" as many kinda eagerly looked forward quite a lot to Rites of Passage in College - you know, typical Teen naivety expecting College ti be parties and fun all time 😅. So they mirrored their perception of what was to come and trued to recreate or evoke a bit of the spirit there. There were cosplay weekends, weekends for seadonal holidays dress up, crossdressing weekends, fridays for "plan b in case I flunk the applications for College (that was one of my favorites 😂)". It was also explained that it used to be the reward to Seniors for upholding the tradition of winning mid-year cultural and sports festivals (what would be "Summer festivals" , but South Hemisphere, so Winter), almost like a bet between school principles and studentes, since traditionally the seniors used to always win sports festival, and there was a streak of not being any other yeat. So yeah, kinda of passing the baton off. That's why it took place in the second half of the year, using the return from "summer" (winter) holiday as mark. Anyway, the return from winter break from that story coincided with Olympics that year. I was for the most part broke and couldn't afford cosplays nor costumes, and I didn't want to improvise since people took photos and I didn't want to ruin a photo where people took some actusl effort with cheap knockoffs. So I usually didn't partake in most of those, only watched. But the Olympics gave me an idea (or rather, the all hail Michale Phelps did - my child and teen idol during Olympics lol): I might not get permission to waltz around the schoolgrounds on swimwear during school, and it's still winter, so it would be chilly to do so. But nothing says I can't wear them ON TOP of the uniform 😂 Use your imagination, it looked more ridiculous than one can imagine 😅 PLUS it was the most affordable thing I could find to imrovise a costume, so it solved that too. This came out longer than expected, sorry, guess I got too nostalgic. And sorry for typos, my auto correct insists on betraying me at every chance. But just wanted to say to not worry, it was not hazing (rather a cheerful and tasteful parody of it). I'm not denying it was cringe, cuz it was, but I nevee regretted it, not even back then 😂 Moral of the story, as we were discussing during stream: wear your cringe and your chuuni like a proudly unfurled cape. It makes your STRONG Don't worry, nothing bad will happen. I mean, just look at how I turned out; I'm watching VTUBERS
@@NitroRugrat Sorry I have trouble putting my thoughts into words but I just wanted to say I'm proud to be a ruzader and seeing other ruzaders find happiness and comfort in this community is so heartwarming!!!
Thanks for the stream Ruze. It was cool to see the Warden in more detail, I usually book it out of there whenever I think I've triggered him. Looking forward to seeing the completed catacombs too, somewhere dark, quiet and where people aren't, my favourite! And that reminds me I need to sort out my memberchip again!
