As I noted once before, I've worked with this company for years but this is the first time I've been a principal, not an ensemble member. Friday and yesterday we blocked some of the bigger scenes. It seemed weird to be singing by myself out in front of everyone else, instead of being blocked with some of my chorus buddies. (There's one woman in particular with whom I always get blocked when we're in the same show.) I'm having fun, of course, and enjoying the process of learning how much I can really do (which is why I was sorry to wave off this week's voice lesson), but given that I've had leads with other companies, I'm a bit bemused that it's an adjustment now that I've got a lead with this company.
People have been encouraging. My one chorus buddy told me the other day that she noticed an improvement between that rehearsal and when I sang the same bit at the read-thru. It was kind of her to mention it, and gratifying to know the voice lessons with my new teacher are already working.
