I like to sing. I think I’m pretty good, too. Even so, I tend not to put others through my singing so I usually sing only when I’m alone.
Years ago I found that server rooms – with their noisy cooling fans – make a good venue for belting out songs. I was doing just that one day at a startup company when two of the women there totally busted me. Apparently my voice carried a bit farther than I thought!
At my new job I spend much of my time in the server rooms. These particular server rooms have sliding doors at each end of the aisle, providing even more white noise over the roar of the servers. When I’m in a good mood I can often be found working on a server while pretending I’m on stage.
Hey, the servers can’t complain.
I still think you’d enjoy taking some improv classes at ComedyWorx. Not to far from your house now, either.
What part do you sing? Janell is in the stage chorus this year for the Durham Savoyards production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Gondoliers (and I’m in the orchestra) and, although it’s probably too late at this point, I know they were really looking for tenors this year.
I’m a better baritone than tenor but can sing a decent tenor.
And Wade, you might talk me into that just yet.
