			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My brothers found out my youtube and gave it out to these guys in my classes.</p>
<p>Incidentally, these guys are the trouble-makers and negative-attention-seekers.</p>
<p>So, basically, they went around posting not-so-nice things on my youtube, so I was forced to delete and start a-new.</p>
<p>Here is my new youtube. Please add me as a friend (or subscribe if you like my voice &lt;3).</p>
<p>http://www.youtube.com/user/SakurayaLOVE/</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sick and on tylenol. And my voice sounds like a nasally Yaguchi Mari. High notes are hurting my voice&#8230;.so yeah.</p>
<p>Today I want to tell the story of why I can never be a professional singer.</p>
<p>When I was 7, I mustered up the courage to sing the Star Spangled Banner in front of my entire extended family. All went well, but I sang it a key too high and my voice cracked. Everyone laughed at me, and I stopped singing in front of people for the next 5 years.</p>
<p>I was afraid that if I sang, people would laugh at me because I couldn&#8217;t hit high notes.</p>
<p>I tried so hard. I joined choir in 6th grade, and joined the soprano section, hoping that it would make me vocally strong. It made me anything but. I would come home and lose my voice because my choir teacher forced me to go up to high F.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a mezzo-soprano. Even now I can&#8217;t go up to high F.</p>
<p>Eventually I quit. The teacher never gave me a solo, but gave other kids..who were TONE-DEAF (I&#8217;m not kidding here) solos. It really hurt my feelings. </p>
<p>I auditioned for several National choirs&#8230;but my voice wasn&#8217;t good enough.</p>
<p>What hurt the most was that all of my friends got in, but I didn&#8217;t</p>
<p>Recently, I auditioned for PureAmbition. That&#8217;s &#8220;The Best of Sekai no Melody&#8221;.</p>
<p>Auditioners had to sing a SUPER HARD MEDLEY that most of the PA members couldn&#8217;t sing themselves (so why give it to us?).</p>
<p>We had to sing, rap, and belt in Korean, Mandarin, and Japanese.</p>
<p>What surprised me was that the PA leader posted all her criticism on one post for all the auditioners.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t even get close to getting in.</p>
<p>&#8220;Really, it was bland. Your voice is bland. We weren&#8217;t impressed. We can tell you tried hard, but it wasn&#8217;t enough.&#8221;</p>
<p>I also auditioned for Avex.</p>
<p><em>Well, I bet I can make it past the first round</em></p>
<p>I thought.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t even get a call-back. And they hadn&#8217;t even heard my voice, it was just based on my picture and likes and dislikes.</p>
<p>I love singing so much&#8230;but it&#8217;s really something I can never succeed in. And eventually, I&#8217;m just going to have to give up on my dreams. I need to freshen up and face reality: I&#8217;m never going to ever be able to record an album in a studio.</p>
<p>Time for me to wake up and accept rejection.</p>
