Well, I sing in a choir. You could do that, voice lessons, scales. Naturally, since we live in the future, it looks like there's plenty of warm-ups available on YouTube.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't practice on my own at all, which is (part of) why I'm not really very good. So right now I'm practicing once a week. When I have stuff in my head, I work on the nuanced stuff we're doing with the chorus, not actual singing. Like he wants us to sing "behold" like you actually say it, not like "bee-hold."

almost never ever sing a long E in my chior. I call it Julie Andrews singing with a pursed mouth. I kinda hate it because my comfort singing is gospel choir and while this is a small untrained church choir - the Director is trained and it is all very formal formal.

Speaking of voices.
I just recorded a meeting so I could facilitate it and then write up notes later, and OH MY GOD, why do I sound like that, what is that, THE HORROR.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I would love to sing in a choir. Are there non-churchy hobbyist ways to do that?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, that story was amazing. Thanks for sharing the link!
I like to think I can sing, but I know I can't really. Doesn't stop me.
Today my boss cc'd me on an email to a coworker in which she lied about something she'd said to me. Specifically, saying we'd already discussed something that I was in fact just finding out about in that very email. Exhibit 1 in the new series: how NOT to cover your ass. I wrote her a professional yet disgruntled email. Her reply was to tell me "we always do this this way" when in fact we have never done this this way before. I'm not concerned about the coworker; we've already chatted and she knows my boss was lying. I wasn't concerned about anything really except letting my boss know I know she's retconning history AGAIN. Now I don't feel like working anymore.
We all know what's coming, though no one's said it aloud and my boss has specifically denied it (we know how much that's worth). My job is soon to change in a way that I will not like. I'm just wondering how "soon" is SOON.

In New York, I guarantee there will be volunteer community choirs.
Edit: Although most choirs will do a certain amount of sacred repertoire.

we are up to 11 people, Can we hit 15 before I go home today? If we do I think I may have to institute some mayhem.
