I have been in the musical AIDA in Grade 9 – two years ago now, which I immensely enjoyed. It combined my love for singing with my interest in theatre, and it’s grandeur never ceased to amaze me. Therefore, I knew I wanted to do the musical this year. I know that due to my 4 years in vocal training, some of my strengths are that I can sing well and use techniques in order to improve the quality of the sound. Having said that however, I am surrounded with others who are equally, if not more talented than me, and I’ll always have something to learn from them. I think I would like to be able to become more comfortable around them to make mistakes and try to improve myself. Breaking out of my comfort zone and making new friends is one of my goals and ways that I feel I can improve after reflecting on my time in AIDA in grade 9.
