I don't know why, but I love musicals. I love singing along, and think I'd honestly enjoy performing in them if it weren't for my debilitating shyness.
I was in a play just once. It was a murder mystery/comedy set in the 1930's or something. Some time when the women still wore dresses that looked like the ones Amish wear. Anyhow, I only had a few lines, and then my character got "killed", and I was supposed to scream. But I couldn't do it. I just couldn't. So they had someone else scream instead off to the side. It was ridiculous.
I still don't know why it's that hard for me, but maybe someday I'll get over it and go back into performing. I should probably also get some voice lessons since I have the vocal range of a cat.
