Way cool! This ( now these!!) channels have become very central to my viewing! So much growth in confidence has already become evident! It's like watching a butterfly emerge!
Haha yes - here's the "project of the butterfly" - the other channel really helped in the formation and growth of the butterfly, and here's what the butterfly is trying to "do" 🦋
Thank you! And even if I don't "make it" (or rather, it might take awhile!) I know the mindset will help with whatever I end up doing - shooting for the moon and landing among the stars, and all that! ✨
I love this!! As an amateur viola player it makes me so happy that you're posting these! I love hearing more viola music. edit: also i think literally EVERYTHING that could be on violin sounds better on viola haha, LOVE the Paganini
My name is Alexis, so my Echo is constantly getting accidentally activated everyday, so your opening tagline won't do any more harm that I already receive lol Anyhoot, I clicked on the video only because VIOLA GANG UNITE!! But now I am glad I came by because I am excited to hear the goal you're embarking on. Cheering you on, keep going! 🙌
Perhaps you are sabotaging your audition performance by sending messages to the jury behind the screen that are audible to them (like tiptoeing in, coughing nervously, or blowing your nose) and suggest that you are insecure and "it's okay if I don't win this one, I will just audition again somewhere else." They want to hear a confident performer and will easily pick up signs that you believe you may not be good enough. Notice that in this video you often say "maybe." (Maybe I'm not that bad, maybe I can succeed....) Strike out "maybe." You are qualified, you are good, you can succeed. And go into your addition with that attitude. Have you ever noticed that good speakers often clear their throat before they begin a speech? It wakes up the listener, commands the audience's attention, even before the first word is spoken. It can make your listeners sit up straight an be fully attentive, and then you begin....
