Y'all can post ahead of him, says our dearest captain. He has something to deal with!And wow, opera? That's freaking crazy, girl. So SO many props to you if that was what you were planning to do. Apologies that there were complications, but hell, I'm proud of you anyway lol! I'm just in BA Acting at the moment, thinking of possibly doing directing as well. But time will tell. If you're ever in the NY area and want to go see shows, I'd most definitely make myself available for another performer.

The joint in my jaw is really wonky. There's a disc in the joint that moves back when you open the mouth, and its supposed to be a smooth motion. My jaw clicks and pops, so the disc gets stuck and I have to force it back. At first the doctors thought it was a temporary thing that comes with growth, but the oral surgeon and therapist came to study me, and my singing puts stress on my jaw, on the joint and the muscles. The range in which I naturally sing requires that I have plenty of room to make the sound resonate, and my jaw just won't allow for it. 

You heard her, guys, she'll be doing directing and acting one day. She's going to win a Tony Awards, Laurence Olivier Awards, Emmy Awards and Academy Awards. 
*bliss in the future* "Wow, thank you so much. I'd like to thank the Academy, my friends, family, and all my fans who supported me from the very beginning. Thank you, I love you all!"
