There is debate about the exact number of days it takes to creat a new habit, but many studies have suggested it takes approximately 30 days. This challenge has become the spring board for many new wonderful habits and I say that.....

Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity. ~St. Augustine

Singing is now a necessity in my daily existance! :)

Accomplishments in 30 days:

Identity change: "I'm just a concert dancer trying to transition to musical theater-----I am a singer, dancer, actor----an artist!"

-1,560 minutes of vocalizations.

-4 challenging voice lessons. I learned the foundations for a new singing technique that I know is going to change my career! Whoohooo

-Purchased Kurt's Vocalizations. A wonderful tool for me to keep going!!!

-2 coaching sessions. I learned about acting choices, dynamics in the voice and expression, and how to communicate with a pianist.

-23 fierce dance class with incredible teachers at BDC.

-5 charitable deeds. These events opened up new opportunities for me to use art to give back to my community. I'm going to continue to foster some of the relationships I made and keep spreading the love!

-25 energizing healthy meals

-1 live solo performance, 3 group musical numbers, and 1 duet performance. I challenged myself to get involved with as much singing opportunities as I could find. I conquered my fear of singing solo, danced and sang one of my dream shows with my friend for the Pro Sem show, and learned how to hold harmony and enjoyed performing for the BDC showcase.

-Recorded a demo for a song that describes my perspective of the changes in my life and now I'm looking forward to an exciting future.

-Fostered some wonderful friendships with other challenge members. I'm thankful for everyone's support and know that we will continue to encourage each other to pursue our passion for the arts and to use our FULL VOICE to make this world a better place!!!!!!
