I WAS SABOTAGED ON STAGE !?

As the rehearsals went on at the Experimental Theatre, we all never stopped on helping each other and share new tips with everyone to spice things up and improve our performances. David helped a lot for the vocalists. He managed to help everyone including me, to harmonize and give vocal tips apart of giving us parts to sing. But generally, we all helped each other on making our vocal performance the best one yet that ASWARA has ever seen. We, the vocalists even did some private and separated rehearsals for other musicians members to perfect our harmonisations and vocal projection as it was a little too loud to do so when the other music instruments were playing.

12 JULY 2019- The day that we’ve all been waiting for has finally came. Although, it got me really worried and concerned during the earlier of the day as we were all soundchecking on stage. MY MIC HAS ISSUES!! It had delay and i repeat DELAY, not a reverb or an echo. As i produce any sound to my mic, it will be heard on both the house speakers and monitor speakers with 0.01 second delay. It wasn’t a major problem for them but it was for me as it was disturbing and led difficulties for me to sing on the right tempo. To be honest it has actually been happening for a few days when we were rehearsing but i avoid being vocal about it because i didn’t want to trouble the technical team until i felt really bothered by it.

But the thing is, my mic was the only one with issues and it had me overthinking and having thoughts of if i was sabotaged by somebody. Maybe i really was sabotaged, by someone who’s envy of my light buttery toned voice and worried it could outshine them on stage, who knows right? But on the last soundcheck before the show that night, a MIRACLE happened. I finally got a mic replacement and it has no delay at all. Thank the universe and god, i was really happy about it and i finally had the good mood to perform.

The night came and it was time for us to perform. The theatre was full and tickets were succesfully sold out on both days of the show. We all felt excited yet nervous inside because at that point anything could happen; bad or good things.

THE CROWD: *applause and cheer happily*

Finally it came to an end. It was really a joy to all of us and everyone did a great job at what they were doing. In the end, we all got positive feedbacks about it. My friends who came loved it, the crowd loved it and even the lecturers were happy of it. Overall, it was a great experience eventhough there were downs we all had to go through but we all stay commited to it and gave them a great show.
