THE RULES
For those of you who have not already seen my first 30 days challenge... As a singer, your voice is not just the instrument, YOU are the instrument. The better you feel not only technically, but also physically and mentally, the more capable you are of giving a great performance. I originally 'borrowed' most of these rules from the Broadway Dance Centre's famous "Full-Voice Challenge" and tailored it suit my own needs and requirements in order to push myself towards becoming not only a more skilled and confident performer, but also a happier and healthier person. ROUND 1 was so successful for me that I decided I wanted to do a ROUND 2. I have changed up the rules this time so that I stay inspired and motivated and so I can ensure that I continue to grow and continue to learn!

A few of you have asked me what my reward to myself was for completing the first 30 days!.... I ordered myself a pair of replica Christian Louboutin Gazolina Thigh-High Boots! I have been wanting these shoes for almost a year and finally I have something special to reward myself for! I will post a photo once they arrive!
ROUND 2 STARTS TOMORROW!... Wish me luck...
This is great!!! I am continuing mine until the 3rd to stay focused and then will do again in April. This is such a great exercise I will probably use this forever to get focused!!! There are always things (legitimately so) that come up and steer us away from these habits - nice to have a formula that works for us. This has really helped me so much I feel so much more confident now than I did before! AND it just took a month - imagine what I will feel like after six months of this kind of intensity! I know it can be done but like a marathon I have to work up to it! This will be great for the summer with extended hours - will really be able to maximize those long breaks!
