In my own imagination 11:22 PM.
I went for an audition with my band mate(vocalist) today. At a music company called E.A.I music and publishing. It's located at some Ulu factory off Aljunied Road. Look quite Ulu, but that place is actually quite resourceful.
The auditioner is called Phylix. He's cute alright..hehe....He was telling us about the company and what they do. Basically, they organise concerts for their artistes to perform, and provide performers, mainly musically for people who holds private functions.
I played the accompaniment on the piano for my vocalist to sing. Anw, her name is Judith. It souunds weird callig her by her title. hehe....She sung two sogs. Bei ai de nu ren and Hui Jia by ShunZi...Since it was morning, our voice are still not warmed up. So she actually struggled through some parts. But overall, her vocals are well received. Well, her vocals are compatible to Mariah Carey's...Very PowerHouse...
After she sung, the auditionor said in Mandarin, ''Ok Kangrui, your turn to sing'' I was like, WHAT!? But i just picked out a song and Sung and Played on the piano. My voice hasn't fully opened. So i had a problem reaching some notes. Actually, that's not the main problem. The main problem abbout my singing is, after i sung, the auditionor told me my singing is rather Retro. He doesn't understand why such a young man like me is picking out out-dated singing techniques. haha...Well, it was quite funny. But i heard he'll be putting both of us down as even artiste. Just that we need to improve on our hosting skills.
After today's audition, i felt that, i'm not far away from being an artiste. Well, skills of course i do have, but just that i have to improve on it. Stage-presence, i'm already getting it. Showmanship, guadually improving. Piano playing skills, very good, but have to improve on my hearing. Next, the big problem is my dressing. I really have no money to buy clothes which are in fashion. Those clothes which i have at home are so out-dated. My god-ma always buys for me clothes but, those are really really out-dated. Everytime i feel like telling her, ''erm, why don't you pass me the money, and i go buy them myself?''...
Aiya, it's like, the best is that i use my own money to buy my things. So i'll not feel bad. And i'll treasure them more...
I really wonder, when the hell can i ever start earning. So sian. I still have got to go through NS.
