So, you want to be a hardcore singer...

Well, I've learned a lot since Dustin joined the band. Mostly I've learned that being a singer is hard, painful, and strenuous. I know that a lot of people assume that because singers don't have to set up equipment or because they don't play an instrument that it's easier for them. I've found the opposite to be true. To be a great singer you have to not only be good in the first place, but pour your heart into every breath. It's physically and emotionally draining. Actually, an unforeseen side effect of singing is that my diaphragm has gotten a lot stronger. Heh. It used to be sore for a few days after practice, and now it doesn't. Oh yeah. Heh.

One other thing about singing that sucks big time is when you hit the mic on your teeth. It doesn't hurt that bad but it's not the best feeling ever.

FIN.
