Not exactly, but in high school I was in a play in which I had less than a month to rehearse (I was called in to take over the lead role). When I won an award for the part, it surprised me because up until that point I always felt I wasn't as strong an performer as the other actors in my school. It was truly the moment when I realised, "Wow, I am good!" (:
With singing, there's always room for amazement. I think that's part of performing, you're always growing and realizing that you have all this wonderful talent which only gets better over time.

Posted: 3/15/08 at 12:07pmLost In Yonkers Bella Monologue she does at the end of the show when she is telling Grandma (her mom) she wants to have babies and marry Johnny. I want to play that role SO incredibly bad when I am the right age. That monologue is my treasure and I feel I do it justice. I brought it into an acting class once.. Me being the youngest and the rest were 30 somethings and I did it and to my shocked eyes people were crying. But other than that I am usually not obnoxious and cocky about how amazing i am lol.

The first time I sang a high soprano song (Out of My Dreams from Oklahoma).
It was an assignment in my musical theatre class. I had never attempted the notes before, and it turned out to be easy for me, and I'm pretty good at it. Now I always sing soprano, and I'm really proud :) :)
