what about you?

We as performers are our worst critics, but in the end we know that being very aware of our mistakes makes us better actors.

What are your things you wish to make better?

Mine are my belt vibrato, it is a little too fierce and fast, also my head voice sounds a bit operatic. Cannot cry on cue.

What are your things you are (in your opinion) awesome at?

Mimicry, Emotion,and Line Reading.

I'm horrible at dancing. It takes me forever to learn a simple 16 counts. Acting is second nature, singing is third nature, but dance is like 1,000,000th nature.

What are your things you wish to make better?

Belting (I sometimes push my upper register instead of belting)
Vibrato (The only song I can nail with very good/perfect vibrato is Being Alive from Company)

What are your things you are (in your opinion) awesome at?

Ethel Merman voices (Some people love my Everything's Coming up Roses impersonation)
Emotion (deff.)
Monologues (I'm a very photographic memory person)

My vibrato is super fast and I need to learn how to slow it down. Like the OP, my head voice tends to be operatic ALL of the time (I was dubbed "Opera Girl" at my summer job, actually) despite the fact that I've never had classical training.

As an actor, I still need work pulling emotions from past experiences in my performances. And I wish I could cry on cue.

Dancing-wise, I SHOULD have a higher rating, but since I was twelve, my consistency with taking classes has faltered, so my technique definitely isn't where it should.

*sigh* Now onto the good stuff...

I have relatively good pitch, and when it comes to acting while singing, I think I do a darn good job =) My acting is pretty good for the most part. And even though my dancing sucks compared to Younger Me, I'm actually pretty good compared to my peers (lat year I was Dance Captain for my school's production of Ragtime).

Wow, what a soul searcher.

What I wish I could improve on is my vibrato. Seriously, sometimes I lose control of it and sound like I'm sitting in a vibrating chair. So yeah, controlling my vibrato is something I seriously need work on, and I can't dance to save my life. I mean, I took dance when I was seven, but after thirteen years you are bound to forget a thing or two.

As for my strong points? Well, I know that I'm a pretty good actress and many have enjoyed my performances, acting-wise. I also have a strong belt, and that comes in handy with many of the songs that I sing.

I'm the best me I know :)
