Extremely Basic Advice for the Completely Unexperienced Recitalist

Posted on by Ori C. Li

Okay, so when you go up,

Face the curtain on the left

You know when you walk in?

So the holes face the audience 

So the sound project

To the back of the room.

Good. 

Then you look at Miss ____, nod

‘okay,’ 

And then you start. 

 

What if I have to sneeze?

 

Sneeze? Then just sneeze. 

 

What if I mess up?

 

Then you mess up. 

Just no stopping.

No worry about it too much.
