Click here to see the profile of this user 		Motivation - 2008/03/28 21:15 Okay... As most of you know, I've been taking voice lessons for a while. The problem is, I can't seem to get motivated to practice. I've heard it takes 21 days to make or break a habit...the trouble is I can't practice 21 days in a row to make it a habit!
Any ways to get motivated? I try and motivate myself by telling myself I can only get better if I practice, but that doesn't really help. Credit for the avatar goes to Amy from the Idina message boards.
It's my turn to be brave

I'm sure everyone else will have great tips too- gotta go, I have some lines to memorize. -Ali

Currently:
-Sheila; Boys Next Door (postshow depression mode)
-auditions for acting ensemble and whatever the school musical is...sort of anxious!

Favorite Musical: PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!!!! As for more "happy" musicals i like BATB and Music Man (and lots of others, that i can't think of right now!)

Next production: R&H Cinderella?

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Motivation - 2008/03/29 18:22 I sing in my car. The people next to me at stop lights think I am crazy, because I usually am doing the blocking with the songs at the same time. There is a CD called "Winning Warm-ups for the Voice" that I bought. I don't think I have ever sang anywhere but in the car. Put warmup exercises on your iPod and sing on the bus on the way to and from school. Everyone around you will think you are nuts, but if you are anything like me, they probably already DO .
