I know people always just expect me to sing and are probably sick to death of hearing me say “I have grade 8 singing” so I thought I would write a blog post explaining why exactly it is that I love singing so very much. I have been singing since a young age, some of my first memories from primary school are singing in school choirs.
Singing for me isn’t just about the sound you make it is also about getting to express yourself through music and words. I love music in general for this very reason. Singing, for me at least allows me to express myself, you get to think about different characters and think about the emotions you can put into them through singing or you can just pour your heart and soul into a pop song and give it meaning.
Performing Musical Theatre songs also gives me an inexplainable adrenaline and happiness which I cannot put into words. I do also enjoy singing pop but I definitely enjoy singing Musical Theatre songs the most for the reason above. Musical Theatre allows me to perform a song as a piece of theatre and portray the many different emotions of a character which is why I adore it so much.
