How LOW can you GO?

Throat hurts. Not in a good way. I had to show off at call-backs and go as low as I could on scales and now I am cast as an Alto2 and I can't hit the notes! I am gonna be Sister Mary Super Flat and Off-Key and that kind of SISTER ain't good!

Thankfully, my more musically trained and melodic other half purchased a digital recorder for me and after tonight's rehersal I got to hear just how low that E really is and just how horribly I tried to hit it. So now it's practice for three weeks until I sound like Kathleen Turner in those corny Fancy Feast ads or think of: a woman hopped up on Sudafed; Megan Cavagnah as Marla Hooch singing It HAD TO BE YOUUUUU in A League of Their Own and mix that up with your average Tenderloin cross dressin-street walker and you will about have what range I am supposed to sing in.

Hey Von Trapp; got a light big boy?

I keep imagining that any nun that sings that low was a prison guard in a former life. Not a big stretch really. When your good to mama...Jesus is good to you?
