No More Excuses
This is not a post that will promise success. It simply will help you understand that the reasons you say, “I can’t because,” are nothing more than an excuse. Do not let an excuse stand between you and your goal or dream. Educate yourself and run with your idea. I have given advice and helped many people launch their idea—not all were successful; however, they at least gave it an honest effort and tried. They were able to get past the “I can’t” and started doing what they dreamed. I am a firm believer that passion and effort will take you anywhere you want to be. That being said, let’s dive in and look at the biggest “excuses” for not chasing your dream.

Eruruu's Advice #1
Before I start this column I would like to tell you a short story about Eruruu. Eruruu is not me...well not entirely at least. Eruruu was a female character on a game I played quite extensively. In her, I found myself driven to help my fellow players and offer fun, silly, and sometimes serious advice while playing with others. I hope that you can hear her and possibly benefit from the little mother in my head.

The Show Must Go On
How to harmonize, do a perfect box step-grapevine dance combo, change outfits in less than 26 seconds, and make it look like you just punched someone without even touching them are just a few things I have learned in my many years of musical theatre. I have been trained to project my voice, never turn my back to an audience, and improvise when another person on stage forgets their lines.

Thoughts Should Be like Flowers—Let Them Bloom!
Hey all, this is my first article on Vocal and I can't be more excited. Ever since I started jotting down my feelings in high school, I somehow started to love writing and the idea of how immensely it can relieve your stress and anxiety.

A Letter to My Younger Self
Even though I'm only 20, and some would say I am too young to be writing a letter to my younger self, I think it's always good to reflect and remember previous events. That is how we grow, after all, isn't it? So here it is: what I would say to a much younger me.
