The Audition...

Well, no callback, but I had a great time! I'm going to add this to the list of new and great experiences I've had over the past several years. I left at around 9:30 last night and got to the hotel a little after11pm, ordered some food (they really don't know how to make a cheesesteak up there!), watched some telly & went to bed. Had a nightmare that I slept through my audition...thank god for phone alarms!
The people that run the auditions for The Voice did an amazing job. My audition time was 2pm. I got there around noon. They organized us in groups of 10 and were really encouraging and supportive. My group was great...we really got along and laughed alot! We all went in together, and I really thought a few of them were going to get a callback (especially the 19 yr old girl from Harlem...she has a stunningly beautiful voice!). We all sang and we all applauded each other, but were told that none of us were getting a callback. Disappointing? A little. But it really was a smooth and fun audition. And I met some really cool people. And it all only took 3 hours (a HUGE difference from the America's Got Talent audition)! Drove home with no a/c in the car, missed my exit, but made it safely (even if I did lose 30 lbs in water weight!). Took a cold, cold shower and ate some ice cream!
I'm so grateful for this experience, and for all of the support and encouragement I got from my family and friends, and all of the nice things everyone wrote on FB and texted to me. I'm a lucky, lucky girl (and don't worry, I'll keep singing...).  :-)
