Everyone has a hobby, and obviously I am not one of those rare exceptions. Also my hobby is one of the common ones - listening to music and singing.
My phone - Nokia X6 smartphone, is a phone in the "Xpressmusic" series of Nokia, so it functions as a music phone as well. This is perfect for one of my hobbys, as it allows for high quality music to be played through my earphones, allowing me to lose myself in the song world for the limited time I can. Usually this is the duration of a bus journey, as the journey from my house to Victoria School, where I study, takes about 40 to 50 minutes, and it gets really boring when you have to listen to the rumble of the engines and the chatter of many people on the bus when you have no one to talk to, that is when my phone comes in handy. :D
And that is one of hobbies, one of which many other people share, from children to adults alike. Yay. :D And then there's my other hobby... One not as common, but still common nonetheless - Singing. :D
Of course, given this hobby, it should come as no surprise that I would join the choir of my school. Furthermore, it was one of the top performing CCAs in my school! BONUS! =D
However, as such a good CCA, it went without saying that it would have a high selection criteria. I suppose I was lucky to have been chosen, as my batch had a higher number of people being selected as opposed to other years. So, I suppose it is safe to say that I was really lucky that my batch had more people selected. :D
Of course, everything is meant to have its own special set of critics. Sadly, these critics are merciless in their
opinions and care little for their "victims". It's really unfortunate, to have to deal with such criticism. And now, let me talk about the criticism I have received.
Where singing is concerned, there are a few types of opinions which may be given by critics. For example, Pitching, Tune, Volume, etc. The most common one I've received is probably pitching. I've never been too good with controlling my falsetto - Fake voice. This version of the singing voice allows for an alternate pitch to your voice. For example, a person with a broken voice would have a falsetto of higher pitch. Falsetto, however, is hard to control at times, at least for me it is. I tend to go off-key and off-pitch when we go to the more extreme parts. It would normally end up with me going sharp or flat, which probably landed me in the section Bass. :(
However, I am not losing hope. I will continue to train my falsetto and hopefully get back to my original section, Alto, soon. And I have one thing to say to all the critics who mercilessly knock people down on their feet with their reckless criticism. "You people ain't gonna bring us down like that, never ever."
And words won't bring us down. :)
