How to Kill Your Voice Without Really Trying

It's quite simple actually.  Just a few things that you have to keep in mind.

• Take part in a musical, such as Cats, where you are constantly in inhuman positions, and it is nearly impossible to support your sound properly.
• Play a part in that musical, such as Macavity, that requires such laughs and shrieks that require only your throat.
• Spend at least three hours a day in rehearsal for said musical
• Not bring enough water to said rehearsal
• Spend a lot of your free time rehearsing choir music for an event such as NAfME National Choir, that you absolutely have to rehearse for
• Sing in your school choir, school vocal ensemble, and church choir
• Have milk be your favorite drink in the whole wide world
• Partake in social activity, such as talking to people

In case you haven't noticed, a lot of those things apply to your very own NM.  In fact, all of them!

You do not want to hear me speak right now.  And I don't want to speak to you.  I would like to leave it at that.  Unfortunately, I don't know any sign language, and that makes it very hard to communicate.

On a completely unrelated note, Cats is going very well!  Things are starting to come together, and I'm starting to find my character.  I think I'm doing a good job.  Apparently I'm really scary.

If only I could still talk when it was all said and done.  I'm don't know how Nationals is going to go.
