Academy : workshop with Cristian Ruiz

Have you ever met somebody that you wuld define " pure talent", a person who seems to have electricity running through his body and at the same time be the most quiet person in the world?
Well, I actually met that somebody : his name is Cristian Ruiz ( www.cristianruiz.com) , a great italian musical performer who was in town with the national tour of Hairspray, the musical from which inspired the movie with John Travolta.
I saw him ( I mean Cristian) on tv and on youtube, bought his cd but never had to chance to meet him personally...finally the chance came!
Now, this gorgeous performer is so humble, so relaxed and yet he's able to fill you with such an incredible energy and won't let you stop working until he's not satisfied!Second and third year student had two days workshop with him, working on one of his most important show : Rent ( a great musical by Jonathan Larson, inspired by Puccini's La Bohème )
The class was so into it that we've forgot things like hunger, thirst, tireness...all the people involved wanted to do their best and they did..it was a great success and we managed to live an intense experience, to work with a person who lives of his dreams*_* I'm literally in love with his talent, his power, his energy...and if dreams really comes true, one of my newest dream is to work with him someday, somehow! *_*

here's the picture he kindly took with me outside the theater after the show

Thank you so much!!!!

First day!!!

It's been a while and I'm sorry, but I had no time due to my jobs ( fast food, babysitter) and of course I tried to study a little for my upcoming exam...I haven't slept much these past two night, and I think I will not have a chance to rest till end of October, for I'll be working at the fast food every night ( my boss has some trouble with his other activity and cannot leave my co-worker alone, so I'm on)
anyway...later, this afternoon, I will have the first meeting at the musical academy! I'm so, so excited about it!!!! I will tell you later, or tomorrow, now I have to go to the gym!

Pictures!

Well, it is just one picture...but I think it is a nice thing to post it here!



Me and my new friends at the academy ( we're inside a room here, waiting to fill up our papers :D )
For those who don't know me, I am the one with the pink t-shirt and the big grin on her face :P

New friends!

I've been to the city today! This morning I had voice lessons with my voice coach ( she said I'm developing and I'm glad about it :D) whilst this afternoon I went to the academy and enrolled! I'm ufficially a first year student of the musical theatre academy! I still can't believe it! Please don't wake me up! I've seen some of the guys I've met at the audition and I was so happy to know they made it too!! My classmates seem to be nice and I love the idea to share this dream with them!
I've taken a picture of us ( not all of us, though) but I can't post it right now, I'm in a hurry! Late for work...
kisses!

I'm in!!!!!

Well, what can I say? I had the audition less than a week ago, last wednesday and today I've received the call-back...
I'm in!!!!!
This Wednesday I will enroll and ufficially be a first year student of the Musical Theatre Academy! I'm so excited! I want to learn as much as I can, I want to live every moment, to share all this feelings with all the people out there!
I'm so thankful...I would love to thank God above and the entire world for giving me such an opportunity but all I can do now is promise that I will do my best and I will never give it up!

First audition!

Hello! Long time no posting, so I guess I will write a lot ( but I hope not to bother you :P ) I had my audition on Wednesday, and it was truly the best of times :D
I forgot to tell that I have some kind of virus disturbing my stomach since Monday, so that day I decided not to drink and not to eat to prevent being sick during the audition...why did I do that? The audition was at 11.00 am so I thought it mught have been a good idea to be there at 10, but here's the disaster: the professors were all late due to traffic, so at 12 am we were still waiting...
I had the chance to meet a lot of amazing people, and to chat with them while sitting in the waiting room : three guys were absolutely lovely ( one could imitate Pip from enchanted and I swear, he was totally him! hehehe!) and the secretary was kind and patient with me.
I was nervous as always ( it happens to me, especially before and during an exam) but at the same time I felt all excited, as if it was a chance I could not lose, something life-changing, so when I finally came in my first thought was " I want to be perfect" but suddendly I realised that I'm not( not at all! :P) so when I sat and they asked me to talk about myself, I really did: I was myself, hyperactive, logorrohyc, enthusiast and dreamy, talking nonsense about my ambitions, my passions, my everything and then they asked me to sing, but not just sing...to play the role while singing!
The song was Popular, from Wicked, not my favorite song at all, but one of the cutest I know and when I chose that song I thought I would have had fun playing Glinda and trying to be someone that is totally opposite to me :D
I sang putting everything to it, acting silly and funny, or at least I tried, giving it 150% of myself, and I don't know, I think I did if fine 'coz at the end of the music, they didn't asked me for my monologue or even to dance for them. I hope it is a good sign.
We chatted a little more and then I left.

" We'll let you know" they said, " Next!"

At least I had the chance to sing, to be myself and to meet people who shares my same interest and passions.
I hope they'll take me, if not I will keep going on and try my best! I don't know when, I don't know how but someday I will sing on broadway!!! ( or London, or wherever there are musicals on stage! :D )

Ps: I had 30 for the second time! It means that I am a genius and that someone up above loves me! *_*

What to do?

Today I received another call from another musical academy here where I live...my audition will be on September 20th...I think I will go and give it a try...but then?
I want to be optimistic ( or to believe in magic, miracles, whatever) : What if both the academy tell me I'm good enough to enroll? what am I gonna do? I'm not good at saying " No" or refusing opportunities, but it never happened to me to have not just one but two great chances at the same time, all of a sudden...
I don't know...
