Part 1: Singing
Examiner: Do you enjoy singing?
You: Oh, I love it! Especially when I’m home alone. Belting out tunes at the top of my lungs is the ultimate stress reliever. Though, maybe not for my neighbors…
Examiner: So you consider yourself a good singer?
You: (laughing) Well, let’s just say I wouldn’t be replacing any world-renowned opera singers anytime soon/ anytime short. My singing voice is more like a happy (but slightly hoarse) cat than a husky rockstar.
Examiner: Have you ever thought about singing lessons?
You: I did actually! I saw this amazing vocal coach online who seemed to work magic, turning anyone into a wholesome, larger-than-life character with a voice of angels. Unfortunately, after one look at me trying to coordinate my hands and feet while singing (it looked a bit like swinging a bag of cats around), they politely suggested I stick to singing along to Taylor Swift in the shower.
Examiner: Sounds like singing lessons weren’t for you then?
You: Not quite! Look, maybe I’m a little tone-deaf, and maybe I can’t sight-read music theory for the life of me. But hey, singing makes me happy, and that’s all that matters! Sometimes, it’s fun to just belt things out, even if it sounds a little out of control. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll surprise everyone with a hidden talent!
