Well, I'm in the mood for all sorts of new things this weekend, aren't I?

What we've got here is a cover of the song "God Help The Outcasts" from my favorite Disney film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This is the absolute first time I've decided to post a solo of mine on YouTube. I'm usually very, very embarrased about singing solo and sharing my voice with other people; I had a solo in the musical this year, and I could barely get my three lines out! So why am I deciding to sing solo for you all?

Well, first of all, I tried to cover this song a year ago for a Hunchback singing contest, but was waaaay too humiliated by my voice. I just couldn't convice myself that I can sing halfway decently. In reality, I loooove to sing, but I never thought I had a good voice. 

But I made a promise to myself this year - that I would stop putting myself down all the time, and have more confidence in myself. And the thing I'm the hardest on myself about is my singing. I've decided that if I hope to be a part of musical theatre in college, I have to stop being so embarrased by my singing and not be afraid to put myself out there, even if I'm not that great. This video if the first step in that direction.

Also, I simply love this song. It is the song of my childhood. As someone often outcasted myself, this song spoke to me in ways that no other song can. Since I have just a strong personal attachment to this song, I thought I would do best with it. I've wanted to cover this song for a long time, and I'm glad I finally did.

I must ask you all to be gentle in your critizisms. I have never taken a voice lesson in my life, and I realize that my voice is nothing compaired to most people on YouTube. I covered this song to help boost confidence in myself and most importantly, to have fun. I'm defenatly not going to be the next Patti LuPone, and I'm not trying to be. 

I do hope some people actually enjoy this!
